Had a great Easter Sunday...
Started off oddly enough throwin league with Chase Pearson down at the bowl. Had to call ahead and make sure the schedule hadn't changed due to the Holiday. Made it down there in time no problem. Took 3 of 4 from the "2 Witches".. which used to be quite a feat with their handicap but they're getting better all the time! Sometimes we get lucky...
Was heading for home to do my laundry when Mike Mikkelsen called and said they were having Sunday brunch at his place. Told him I was going home to do some chores and he said to bring the laundry over to his place and do it while we ate. Paddy was kind enough to let me squeeze in a couple of loads inbetween her stuff so I got that knocked out. Erik (youngest son) was busy concocting one of his culinary delights. He loves to experiment in the kitchen. Sunday's creation was Chicken Saltimbocca. I'd list all the ingredients (you've probably figured out the chicken part)but I'm way too lazy.. That's what Google and the Food Network are for... I will say it was mighty tasty and the lemon sauce was killer. Almost as good as sqeezing a lemon over King Crab legs or Lobster... Yum Yum... I've posted a picture of the finished product. Sucked down a few Mimosas as well and he whipped up some deep fried bananas and ice cream for desert.
Chicken Saltimbocca!!!Once the laundry was dry I dashed over to Laura's where she was patiently waiting with Jason and Melissa Woody. She had a hankerin' for some company that afternoon and invited us all over for a boat ride and some fishing. I got to meet her puppies Schlitz and Guinness,(Dacschunds of course) and play a little tug 'o war with 'em.
They groove on the lake. Especially Schlitzy.. He loves to chill at waters edge and look for fish. Pretty cool little dude. Jason had rigged a couple of poles so I grabbed the spinner and started casting. Laura was skippering the boat and would position us just so and then we'd cast in between moored boats. Jason got hit right away and pulled up a pretty good size fish. They were all bass and they were hitting pretty regularly. That lake is full of the things. We stayed out well after sunset and took the scenic cruise. One house in particular looked like someone had bought at least two lots, bulldozed everything and built a waterfront corner mansion on the property. Gorgeous!!! No flash on my cell camera or I'd have posted a night shot of it. I'll take care of that next time out... I've included a shot of one of the little ones I pulled from the lake. I'm pretty sure I got 4 bass from the 15 or so casts. Plastic worm worked like a charm. The photo inset in this section is our most gracious host and skipper. Capt. Laura Stern... she's the sweetest thing and can drive a boat. Who could ask for more?
Jason with Moby Dick....Back to the dock and in for dinner. I didn't know we were gonna eat but Laura had whipped up some pasta and salad for us. It was delicious and went down pretty quickly. Got to meet her Mom too. Really nice gal. Very upbeat and jovial. Except when I tried to do the dishes! She wasn't having any of that! Hope to visit with her again sometime. Laura and Mom whipped up some coffee and Bailey's for us too. That really hit the spot. All in all a wonderful Sunday. Great food, great people...
