Still Busy

 

THEY SURE ARE HUNGRY!



The last two weeks have still been busy.  Of course there were a few days with only a few boats at the dock and a few anchored out.  Many people have been enjoying the restaurant, with the deck being used to its full extent.  Thank you sun!!



RED SHOE GALA



There were dolphins in the bay a few days ago.  They were in a feeding frenzy and consequently most of the fish are gone.  The salmon jumping by the dock are gone, or so it seems.  We are convinced that the one we see jumping is the same one that has been there for three years, but we know that is not possible.  It is like it is teasing us and saying "ha, ha, come and get me if you can".  It would be nice to have a feed of fresh salmon.



YUM, YUM, CINNAMON BUNS AND BREAKY CROISSANT



Christine has caught huge crab in our trap at the end of the dock.  She gave some to a couple of the boats that were not successful.  George experimented and deep fried her one and it was delicious.  The shell was softer so crackers were not needed.  George likes to experiment with the deep fryer.  He deep fried a burger the other day, batter and all.  He says it was good but I have my suspicions.   I wonder what he will try next.  There have been bananas (good), Snicker bars (also good), hot dogs, battered fries.  I wonder if strawberries would be good.  Any suggestions??



FULL DOCK



The sun has decided to stick around for awhile (but it is drizzly today).  The garden needed the heat and sun and has exploded in some areas.  there are two rows of peas that must be 4 ft high.  They were staked in the beginning but because they were so heavy, they broke the stakes.  It will be interesting to see how the peas will be picked and if I miss any.  Berries are slow this year.  The blackberries are still green and small, only a handful of huckleberries (which I gave to Doug), salal are few and I did not see any salmon berries.  the Hopefully, the blackberries produce well so more jam can be made as it is all, all gone.  Only a few relish remain.

The annual potluck at the Blue roof is next weekend.  It should be a good time.  It will be interesting to see what George will cook up!
