Rainy Sunday

Final Update - We finished most of the projects for the day. Zach is relieved to be done filleting all of the salmon. Just another two fillets to smoke and one fillet to turn into gravlax tomorrow and then it will be all preserved or frozen for eating later. Finished the night with some of the sorbet and it was very rich and tasty, probably could have passed on the bacon.

Update - The marmalade is made and other blueberries preserved. We ended up going with blueberry lemon since blueberries were on sale at the store. Here's the basic recipe. Also put the finishing touches on some Dark Chocolate Bacon Crunch Sorbet that I had started last night. Zach has the grill ready and starting to smoke some chicken and salmon.

It's raining here, which we're happy to see, since its been quite dry of late. Taking full advantage of staying indoors, we've got ambitious plans which include, making raspberry lemon marmalade, preserving blueberries, more salmon filleting, preserving cherries, laundry, cleaning and making meals for the week ahead. Oh yeah, somewhere in there, I need to devote a couple of hours to work. We'll see how it all goes, but at least some of the tasks are underway and we've still got more than half the day to go.

A Good Appetite

I stumbled on this blog about a week ago and I love it. The couple seem to be a lot like Zach and I and I appreciate that she puts all the recipes on the blog.

Getting Back to Normal

After two weeks of last minute details and hosting friends and family, things are starting to get back to normal around here. What a great and exciting couple of weeks. We enjoyed seeing everyone and had a great time. The wedding went off without a hitch, but the one that matters, Zach and I, and the reception was a lot of fun. Below is a photo of us during the ceremony.

The next adventure starts tomorrow as we go to the Kenai to try our skills at dipnet fishing for salmon. Wish us luck!
