No weight implications here!! My wife is a nurse and a pretty darn good cook as well. In 20 years of marriage she’s only fixed 2 things I asked her not to fix again. Some of my favorites are dishes she learned in McClellanville while visiting my dad. On the other hand she can’t sew or iron worth a flip. She’s all of 5’1" tall and 105 lbs soaking wet and the only way she will get on a boat is with a cocktail in one hand and sunscreen in the other. She will let me fish and hunt pretty much all I want so I’m not complaining.
lol…Donnie wont touch a rutabega(sp) or liver and onions…so has now learned that when I ask him what he wants for dinner he had best say “it doesnt matter” more than twice or…well you know…Mcclellanville huh…that means we must be family

My wife doesn’t even bother to ask what we want. If she cooks it we will eat it. I weighed 165 when we got married 20 years ago and now I’m about to hit the big 5-oh and I struggle to keep under 200. She just doesn’t grasp the concept that sometimes we could just eat a sandwich. Donnie must suffer the way I do. We’ve had an earlier discussion about family in McClellanville. My dad was married to your aunt I think. (Judy)
dang…sorry…you are right…please dont fuss at me…after all we are family Judy “Judith” s a cousin.

Hey Mrs. Pen try this the next time you cook salmon. Mix mayo, mustard and capers with a little caper juice, salt and fresh cracked peppercorns to make a sauce and drizzle over the salmon after you plate it. Works for me.
thanks!!! woohoo…that sounds awesome…and i love capers…in everything…will do some this weekend…have you eaten it on other fish as well??
thanks again!
next time you fix something like that post it up for us to see…and drool over!
