Two weeks ago I plopped this celery butt into a bowl of water.

Slow smoking ribs on a cedar plank - tonight's supper.
I'm thinking of grilling apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon to accompany. I've never tried that. Any suggestions or thoughts? The ribs are two hours into a six - hour process. Sunset serenity on a Sioux Lookout summer evening.
Downchild Blues Band playing quietly over calm waters. A family of Goldeneye ducks, bills tucked beneath their wings, floating, dozing, in the twilight. Lovers, canoeing silently beneath the stars, alone with paddle strokes and the rising moon, trailing smooth glide -ripples. Glory from my deck on a wondrous Tuesday. A boyhood dream in full bloom. Potatoes, onions, mushrooms, and tenderloin grilled on the deck beside the lake.
Even in town we do okay. My friend Gerry Rodeghero from Illinois surprised me with this gorgeous carved fish when he came for a fishing trip this summer. He has fished Lac Seul for more than 50 years.
I had hoped to hang this beauty on a wall at camp on the weekend, but didn't quite get around to it. Maybe next week. Meantime it's sitting in an honored place on the table inside the cabin. I think this is beautiful! We had the most wonderful Buffalo Wings tonight, deep fried in the Palace beside the lake.
But I wondered all evening why I had a fly in my wine, but not in my shorts. The Palace is my happiest place on earth. Here I sit on a warm and sunny Saturday afternoon, shaded from the sun, soaking up the lake view surrounded by my camera, binoculars, box of "fine" wine, travel humidor with some great cigars, portable clamp on ashtray/cigar holder (it'll be especially handy on the boat), smart phone connected to bluetooth keyboard and mouse, portable phone charger, assorted other paraphernalia, barbeque and deep fryer within arms' reach, and two faithful pooches asleep at my feet.
The thought slides quietly into my brain, "If only I had a pith helmet I wouldn't have to move all weekend." I'm looking for witnesses to my arrest today after a foot pursuit through Fresh Market where I was outnumbered 3 to 1, captured and cuffed behind a frozen food unit near the dairy case.
Anyone with pictures of the pursuit and subsequent incarceration please post here. Note, please, that I have escaped and am now in the witness protection program. Thank you to my MANY friends who posted bail. Those who would still like to contribute to a great cause (hospital and handicapped children ) please call anytime this weekend 738-4483 and pledge an amount. With grateful heart... MEEGWETCH, THANK YOU. Post pictures here now, please. |
