Just a Little Funny

I couldn't resist.

11-2 Baby

What a game! Devin Hester is the man. But he really needs to stop taunting the other team when heading into the endzone. We all know that this will eventually bite him in the ass. I can't believe that his teammates don't call him on this. Perhaps they will today. Bottom line; another win, a playoff bye week and a guaranteed home game at Soldier Field. And it is Soldier Field, not Soldier's Field for all you morons that don't know any better.

Gameday

Tonight's the night. If Rex is not with the program and Lovie doesn't put in Griese then I will be convinced that Lovie has no balls. I'm not saying he has to make Griese the starter but give the guy a chance if Rex can't get the job done. What does he have to lose? Not the game since the D has won most of their games anyway.

Two more things: My brother Bob had better be rooting for the Bears. And if the Saints end up facing the Bears for the NFC championship, Marc had better be rooting for the Bears too. After all, tuition for law school can be pretty expensive!

Just Venting

I do 95% of my Christmas shopping online for good reason. Yesterday I needed to make a liquor run. I ventured into the dreaded Orland during Christmas. Silly me. The traffic was a nightmare (in the middle of the afternoon) and the stores were no better. So I'm in line waiting to check out at the liquor store and the 2 people in line ahead of me are writing checks! Who does this anymore? Have they not discovered the debit card? And if they must write checks perhaps they could have everything but the amount filled in beforehand! There's a concept.

"I've been good, HONEST! Except for the pile of barf in the corner of my mom's bedroom and the garbage that I got into last week, I've been the perfect dog. Now wrap up those rawhides, would you?"

By Request

Baked Lemon Pepper Salmon

1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup drained capers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or
1 teaspoon dried dillweed
1 1/4 lb. skinless salmon fillet
1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons butter
lemon wedges

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place large sheet of foil on baking sheet. Spray foil with vegetable oil spray. Mix shallots, capers and dill in small bowl. Place salmon on foil; sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Spread shallot mixture over salmon. Dot with butter. Fold up foil edges to enclose salmon; seal. Bake salmon just until opaque in center, about 25 minutes. Open foil; transfer salmon to platter (no duh) and garnish with lemon.

I also cook this on the grill. It takes less time on the grill but it all depends on the size of the salmon fillet.

I must give credit where credit is due. This recipe was passed along to me by my good friend Karla aka K-Ho. She is one of the best cooks I know.

Outsourcing 101

I am currently enrolled in this new class being offered at Anderson University under the instruction of my brilliant DIL. My first assignment went very well with the help of Timmy and Nick, a few beers and a minimal fee. With absolutely no effort on my part (this is where I excel) I bring you the Anderson holiday light show, the best on the block.
