this and that - oregon sep 2014, part 1

In the absence of a better title, I resort to this catch all "this and that". This is more of a photo album than a blog post.

a meal made with half a piece of New York strip steak - my healthier version of healthy choice weight watching slow food

I have been taking advantage of abundance of salmon this year. In my trip to the Gorge I have been buying them directly from the Indians.

this is at one of my camp out site; unfortunately inevitably there are always the worst kind that will leave behind trash and the worst of anything you can imagine

still more salmon; my sailing buddies and I had a cooking contest to see who is a better cook - I cooked this for one that didn't have a camper (he contributed the piece of chinook salmon) and for myself

this is Jay's salmon dish which he cooked for himself and his wife; you be the judge

a breakfast with my home made smoked salmon

this was at Roosevelt Park in the Labor Day weekend - some one put up an improvised zip line for the kids

the camper with the red high top is Jay and his wife Susan

a meal with steak for a change

again I cooked and fed my friend Randy who don't have a camper (actually he has a class C motor home but he seldom bring it when boardsailing)

i ran out of propane but fortunately I have this butane stove to tide me over; cannot say enough of this great stove; i use it very frequently to for cooking steps that create a lot of oil smoke outside Brunnhilde

the quaint small town post office building in Hood River

one of many salmon that I would buy from Indians along the Columbia River Gorge - this one is chinook

i bought these emblems from feeBay for the un-Dodge project on Brunnhilde

for me the easiest way to prepare salmon is to pan sear it

this is my technique to save a trip to the oven - work amazingly well

invested in some sail board consumables - i also bought a brand new race harness

i prepared some salmon caviar

a tray of home made smoked salmon

after the Labor Day weekend the number of sailboarders substantially dropped

this is one of my favorite camping site

the 3.4 sq m didn't get use this day

my board developed a fracture along the rail

a snack of smoked salmon

here I am riding solo into the Indian fishing reservation to buy salmon - Suzy is one that I have bought fish from as well as her canned smoked salmon and steel head; she is most pleasant to deal with
