Last weekend we went to the NASCAR race in Fontana. Started out as a cold and wet day and ended up very nice and a great finish! Smoked some salmon per Thirdeye's site to take with us. It was OUTSTANDING. We just had some on bagels. Thanks for suggesting this Molly.

Making the brine.

Fiance and the dog, she did great in the car. Checked on her at the 1/2 way point.

This guy was a dedicated Kyle hater. This was on the way in and he was there again after the race!

    Teresa, I knew you'd like that. It's the only one I'll use. Everything looks really good. Race day looks fun too.
    I'm going to send you a package this week.

    My filets were a little thin, so next time I'll brine a little less. But Larry said it was the best smoked salmon he had ever had, so that was big! The cats also enjoyed it very much. I will defintely do it again.

    I went fishing Friday, and am curing three trout this afternoon to smoke tomorrow.
