A little yardbird and some Alaskan bear food. Weber steak and chop seasoning + light dusting of cumin on the chicken, lemon pepper on the salmon. Both basted with a very light layer of olive oil when put on and when turned. About 10 minutes start to finish on the grill, tender and juicy. Mrs. Cheviot made some rice and purchased Mrs. Gerry's coleslaw. Meal met approval although I was admonished for photographing the blessed event. I did not wipe the fork LL. Can't win for losing some days...

Sure hope that meal tuckered her out so she doesn't paw ya all nite so your rested up for work in the morning!

She's down for the count. There's method to my madness...

Dotch, Del says rice isn't rice.. you were eating grass. Have you told the missus yet?  Looks really great....*slurp*  By the way, I now know where my missing glass went...but how did it end up on your table?! Will it be OK for me to start using that set in my pics, even though I only have three, or will the Fork/glass police be all over me for using a broken set?

Wild rice ain't rice.  It is a species of grass.   And Rice-a-roni ain't rice either. 

When is a duck not duck? When it turns chicken? I'm being really careful of things since this post, and advise others to watch out for things that are not what they "seem to be". Went to slice up some 'cukes last nite, and look what I found. Must be why Del doesn't like them.

There you go again, as Ronnie used to say.   Rice is rice.  Wild Rice is not rice, it is a grass, although tasty.  And that rice a roni stuff is more like floor sweepings from the pasta factory crossed with a close out sale from Dupont.

???!!  Now ya got me all confoosed and discombooberated..rice is rice, wild rice is grass.....but grass is a weed, just ask Cheech and Chong....

 

On a side note, so as not to be chased and poked by the Fork/.Hijack police, that bee ya put in my bonnet about the 'puter "touchscreen" made me do lots of investigation and looking/trying. I am now ordering a NON-TOUCH screen; just bumped it up to a 17" screen. Ya actually helped me out. I think. 

 

 BACK TO RICE AND GRASS, PLEASE...........................

You smacked that one otta the park!!!!!

Mr Fork here.  We had a fork meeting and agreed that Bobber's "power fork" is acceptable and actually condoned if it is referenced as such.  Good idea Bobber.  You do have to be a righty though otherwise it's just improper placement. 

hijacking???  I'm not following that reference one bit

Actually that was long grained domesticated rice, and not wild rice. It was tasty however. The one MN crop I regret not having an opportunity to work with when I was at the U was wild rice.  A lot of work has been done with it at their experiment station in Grand Rapids. I think they were afraid we would skip the test plots and just go fishing. Apparently the fishing poles we'd packed gave us away!  Both rice and wild rice are grass family plants and while the two are not directly related, they are close cousins. Both domestic and wild rice are gluten free for all you celiacs out there.

That's because it was up for grabs.

I don't care what ya call it, but I love wild rice. Other kinds, OK, not so much. The stuff I DON'T like was the saffron rice prepared by the Arabic folk I had while I spent time with them. And yes, it was prepared right, it was King Fahd's entourage staff.  However, they DO give some nice gifts out. 

 

 

Stupid "merge"...$#@!

Nope, they were in the back room. Away from me.   But, ya could smell their perfume long after they left. Those people use garden sprayer jugs to put the stuff on, and it stays, as it's a lot of scented oils. I busied myself with the stuffed goat and the huge bowls of fresh dates...yum! 

Their favorite American food? Chicken and pizzas......they cleaned out both Colonel Sanders and the Pizza Hut's here.

[Dotch]

Probably Bulls fans...

Here's what my plate looked like about 5 minutes ago. Fork is in the "power position"

 

 

[bobberineyes]

Dotch , what's the old saying,  you are what you eat comes to mind.  Lbbg,  perfect fork placement for hitting that plate like a pack of wolves! !!

[RebelSS]

I can't remember.  I tried some different stuff and frankly I think the family prefers the tried and true items so that experiment is over.

Speaking of forgetting, late last week I took my wife's car to a hockey game and after the game 100% could not recall where I parked.  When I strained my brain I went back and tried to recall walking into the rink and work from there.  I ended up confusing a different day walking in the rink and ended up 180 degrees on the wrong side of the building.  

I basically found it after a large process of elimination.  We all know I wasn't drinking so it seemed kind of odd and made me nervous....
