Put in some local organic (that's what the booth claimed) marigolds opposite my scallions.

Had the medium and mini going when a very impressive storm came through. Had to wait an hour.

So I made a drink.
Local peaches, ice, local vodka (that I added vanilla beans to months ago), and some nice spicy cinnamon.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    If you come to the after party you'll get some of this lovely salmon Kent.

    Looks like a great day !

    At what temp did you smoke the salmon? What wood and how long?

    Cold-smoked salmon is on my list once the outside temps get cool enough to do it - maybe late fall. ;):whistle::lol:

    Did you follow it pretty much according to Wayne's instructions?
