late Christmas presents
 

Two of our secretaries went off to Germany for a couple weeks before Christmas and with my travel I hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving. Last night I made some smoked salmon for them. It must've been some really good salmon at Costco because it was just a notch better than usual. Here's one of the lesser pieces we kept (of course you can see where I did some nibbling :roll:).

I got a call this afternoon that it was the best **** salmon she'd ever had. I never heard her so excited before. It's really nice to give things away when people appreciate them. That's all. Nothing really to see here.

There is one reason and one reason only to cook...........Happy Faces :-D You did good Brother

Right on Gore, good for you!!

Actually, I only posted this because the picture looked so purdy. :roll:

I'm sorry, did you say something? I was too busy looking at that salmon!

I started with two halves and I sliced off the bellies and made candy with them. The salmon came off at 9:00pm. By 10:00pm, I'd eaten both of the bellies. :doh: I'd also nibbled on that piece in the photo. I think I could've eaten it all.

I have the same problem with the bellies. I always think I'll save half, but that never happens. Most times...the belly even starts disappearing (sometimes completely) before it gets in the house!

Now if I can jsut make that happen with my belly.:tsk:

Looks fantastic!

:hungry: Looks good!

Nice feeling when you get those kinda responses :thumb:

I love hearing someone say that they enjoyed my cooking, so I know what you mean. Its not the praise for what I made, but just realizing that it is easy to make someone happy with something simple that makes it special.

And that pic is pretty impressive!

I hear ya man. I gave away some of the maple black pepper and the sesame. They loved it, especially the sesame. Thanks again. :thumbup:

Yeah, costco has some great seafood and meat.

Ha ha.
now I got it.
