What is stopping you?

I first encountered this at a deli in Pike place market 40 years ago, been making it ever since. I have yet to find a restaurant that serves anything close.

BBQ’d salmon wraps skin and debone a salmon filet, king or sockeye is the best. Cut in 1” slices, sprinkle lemon juice liberally. use large grape leaves, trim the stems. You can wash off the brine or not, I don’t. Wrap each slice of salmon with 1 or 2 leaves, depending on size. Do not fold the ends, this allows the leaves to crisp up. add more lemon juice over the wraps, refrigerate for a few hours. start the BBQ on high, bring to high temp. Cook the wraps for about 2 minutes each side. Crispy and browned wraps. The wraps keep the salmon moist. serve with your favorite sauce. Wife likes Pateks Mango, I like their hot lime, or my hatch green Chile salsa. leftovers are good hot or cold. will post photos soon…

Green Chile stew with pesole. 2 qts chicken stock, 1qt water. 4-16oz cans of hominy rinsed. 2 cans diced red tomatoes. 4lbs browned pork shoulder or ribs cubed with fat trimmed. (I would normally do 2lbs, but the kids would take all the pork ASAP, leaving a veggie stew.) 8oz of Brads homemade Hatch hot green Chile . simmer for 4 hours until the pork falls apart. Serve with flour tortillas.

Sure didn’t expect to be first! an oddball color combo, at least to me. Razor sharp interfaces between colors.

Great photos!!!

I’ve gotten taken on similar mibs.. bad purchases can be a good eduction.

Lionel girls oven. My wife ran a train store with her ex for 25 years, she also has the girls train with the box.

Looking Chinese to me…

I admit transmitting to my wife, but haven’t seen any negative side effects. She has her own collections, Czech perfume bottles, UV glass, and nutcrackers. When Xmas rolls around I have to put away some Blenko floor decanters so she has room for her display.

Ah-ha! Co-dependent collectors.🙃🙃🙃 (my wife and I have the same issue, we enable and hunt for each other.) now it makes sense👍

Assuming you are single?🤣🤣🤣🤣

Which show?

I wish I had been able to keep it, along with his Ranchero…😢. I do have the custom tags from his last car. <LRD> Leland Russel Doty. He was my grandmothers 4th husband, married in the 40’s. A Seebee who became a civil engineer for the state of New Mexico. I also have his PE stamp. He taught me to drive in the Ranchero, in Deming NM.

Cool! Saw one on American Pickers. Grandfathers was a bolt-on briggs&Stratton, with a friction wheel that was lowered into the front wheel. Not sure of the age.

My grandfather had an old Schwin with an add-on motor similar to yours. This was in the mid 60’s.

I tend to ignore both terms, just like “Unique”. Just marketing terms for more money…

SELL’em if you got’em!

Green Chile cheese burgers last night, with baked beans, also topped🙃

Thanks buddy!

Hatch NM green Chile, Big Jim variety. HOT😅 roasted 55lbs last weekend, diced 15lbs and canned it. A little vinegar and sugar added. I put it on most everything I eat.
