STAYCATION - DAY 2

Hey...lookee me! I remembered! Actually, I just had to tell you my big adventure today. Actually THREE big adventures!

1) I ordered yet another thing from TV. In 4-6 weeks I will be the proud owner of 8 (not 4, but 8) "Sham-wows"! That's right...it's the towel that works like magic and the guy told me I would never have to buy paper towels ever again! Of course I will try it out on the air.

2) I made coleslaw with my wizard slicer thingy. I love that friggin' plastic piece of crap! I have never had coleslaw cut so thin...so perfect...so amazing. It made me even more excited about my SHAMWOW!

3) I grilled salmon using a cedar plank I bought from Harbor Fish in Portland. First let me just tell you how much I love my Harbor Fish. It is quintessential Portland Maine. Not just Maine...but Portland Maine. I love everything about that place. Robin and Charlie and everyone behind the counter...and that fish. Nothing better.

Okay, back to my cedar plank. I bought a couple pounds of wild salmon (I read that farm raised is not nearly as good for you) and a couple cedar planks. You soak them, then put your fish on it (I put teriayki sauce on the filet) and then you put the whole plank RIGHT ON THE GRILL! The wood smokes and it gets into the fish. It was the best friggin' salmon I have ever had.

That's about it for day two. Although I am about to walk and get some ice cream. See? If I walk to get ice cream, I can eat twice as much! I love me vacations!!
