PLANK CHALLENGE
Have you ever tried BBQ salmon on a plank? If not, you have to try your hand at planking salmon as the smoky flavour it imparts is super delicious. I picked up some wood planks at the hardware store at very little cost. You can choose cedar or even maple. Just make sure the wood is untreated and natural. To prepare, soak the wood planks overnight so they don’t catch fire while cooking. The planks will smoke but should not burn. I used a whole side of salmon, but smaller fillets will work just as well. Place your fish directly on top of the plank and season it well with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Top it with fresh lemon slices and fresh dill weed to add even more flavour. Cook it on your grill until it is done to your liking. Impress your taste buds and your guests with this easy and tasty dish perfect for dining al fresco.
HATS OFF
If you are like me and happen to have a collection of well-loved hats that are no longer wearable, don’t throw them out. Instead create an interesting wall installation. They can be hung on the wall using pin tacks in the arrangement of your choosing. They make a great addition to an entry or a bedroom wall in place of artwork. If you don’t
have any, look for them at thrift shops as a cheap and cheerful wall decoration.
