New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Heard of it.... Haven't had it that way.

Hope you weren't looking to us to walk you through it ;~D

I'm pretty sure Ivar's Salmon House still does a cedar plank. I'll bet Carlo knows about it.

[Rebelbase]

I saw some planks for sale at the fish market and couldn't figure out they are used without burning up. I guess they get hot on top like a frying pan long enough to cook the food before they burst into flames?

I'll stick with the grill and olive oil.

[HairOfTheDog]

I googled it.... apparently you immerse and saturate the plank in water... so that's why it doesn't burn up.

[Rebelbase]

Thanks. My brain isn't functioning properly tonight (long week).

[HairOfTheDog]

I didn't know either!

*of whom g'nad and 300WinMag will shortly receive freepmail

I answered your freepmail before reading this.

My only concern is to whether to send him the Camillus "Black Ops", or the Camillus "Campanion" (which I misspelled as "Companion" in two dozen cover letters).

What a terrible thing to do to a lovely cedar plank!

[Ramius]

Well... it didn't work out so good for the fish, either... But it's good for the hungry fisherman! :-)

Why in the world are you looking for "basic computer support" jobs?

Graciousness, girlfriend, you can troubleshoot Macs and PCs. You can look higher than "basic!"

[Ramius]

Hi there Miss Rose! A good evening to you.

[JenB]

I'd rather eat the plank.

Bah, my fingers are tingling so it's no good typing (or, of course, coding) But if I goof tonight, tomorrow's going to be nasty - and I might have to miss church Sunday... no, I won't do that...

Sorry, I'll go dither quietly.

[Ramius]

Uhhmmm... OK. :-)

[JenB]

I know what you'd probably say but getting drunk is not an option. I've only got one bottle of wine, and some vodka but nothing to mix with the vodka.

[Corin Stormhands]

Once a month down yer terlet. It's not too spendy.

[Corin Stormhands]

Any of you NW FReepers ever heard of grilling salmon on a cedar plank?

I've had it that way. There's some Indian villages around Seattle that will do it that way for tourists. We flew over to check one out when I was planning a convention there. (the place was where they "found" Laura Palmer's body on Twin Peaks...anyway). We hired one group to come over and cook salmon that way at the science museum. It was vey tasty.

In Virginia theres a tradition of cooking shad on a wooden plank. One of the old time political events in Virginia is the "Shad Planking." Used to be restricted to white male Democrats. And it was still all male up until about 25 years ago.

Then the price went up cause they had to start renting porta potties ~ if'n yuh get muh drift...

[Ramius]

Actually... I've been told that Rid-X is really not a good thing. Not sure I can back that up right away... but I'll look around.

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you talking about Blake Island?

[Ramius]

You must be thinking of the Blake Island indians? Yup... they do a salmon bake that is pretty much world class.

I've been told that Rid-X is really not a good thing.

ooo...lemme know afore I use it again...
