Time is flying by

Once again I can barely keep up with my work and once again I cannot remember what happened to September. We are experiencing a warm and wonderful Indian summer and that means that our usual down turn day after Labor Day didn’t happen. That is good in itself, but we had anticipated the slow down, so made plans for a brief respite–a short trip to Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington. We went with friends, also in the hospitality biz, so they too were needing restoration. And that is what we found–easy beautiful Friday Harbor. We ate well as you might expect and even had some mini-power dine experiences where we got everything on the menu before we left. Whale watching was good too, and for the first time we saw them really close. Yes, there is something about catching the ferry to an island that really helps one feel “away.” Ah, it might mean a return trip is needed again soon.

   Hi Bob,

   Thanks for the directions on smoking salmon. It’ll post tomorrow. Delighted to find the recipe for your smoked salmon chowder on your website–posted in on my blog (with full credit to you of course) and my own lush description. If you’re on Bainbridge you’re welcome for a visit–I’ll take you to some great new wineries. Cheers!

   PS Planning surfing/cooking weekend for spring.
