Salmon Weekend

September 5th, 2011 at 06:09 pm

Oh, I probably gained 5 pounds this weekend!

In-laws had a big BBQ for out-of-country guests on Sunday. We drove up Saturday to make it easier and to get some time with my own folks.

I am not sure how hot it was here, but getting near 100F on Saturday. We could just feel the heat seeping into the house, and was so happy to ditch town. Big Grin It's generally 10-20 degrees cooler in San Jose - on these hot summer days.

Saturday night my dad grilled corn, salmon and veggies. YUM!

Sunday morning my dad invited us on his donut run. YUM!

We got to the in-laws home close to noon and had "breakfast" there. Their guests from Australia were just waking up - so we lucked out. I ate a lot of bacon, along with some waffles, etc.

On the menu for dinner? Grilled salmon, burgers, sausage, corn. Plus deviled eggs, baked beans, etc., etc.

We lounged in the pool, ate well, socialized with the fam, and had a great time!

Got home about 9pm, and was surprised that the house was not a billion degrees. Phew! I usually leave one zone in the house set to 86 degrees or so (after a friends' newer/energy efficient home - much like ours - got up to 100 degrees during a freak heat wave while they were out of town - it killed the fish). I go 86 degrees for the cat, and when we get home late at night, it can take a while for the house to feel "bearable" on hot days. IT's usually hotter than 86, upstairs. WE did not expect to find the thermostat as low as 82. Phew! 82 I can live with.

--------------------------------------------

I was going to cook up some salmon this weekend, myself. I suppose I have had enough salmon, and can put that off a couple of weeks. Or maybe to next month. I guess everyone had the same idea! (It's not like we have any labor day salmon tradition - just happened to be the theme this year).

----------------------------------------------

We were going to hit Old Sac Gold Rush Days (a tradition!), but the potential heat has made it not very enticing. I think we will be pretty lazy around the house, though I may get some house chores done...

    I love BBQs, but I was not invited to any this weekend, but I have enjoyed being at home.
