Just saw MuskyBob's recipe and I know what is for dinner next Friday:) This one I made Thursday and it is great. Easy, fast, and folks who normally don't like fish try it and will love it too.

No, I lucked out. I got sent to Germany for 17 months. Somehow 97 of the 99 guys I was in training with got sent to Nam. I got Germany, and the other guy got Stateside. I wish I had that kind of luck salmon fishing. :) I consider myself very lucky to be able to get out on the water and I often wonder how many of the guys I was in basic & other training with made it back. I pray for them all, especially Veterans Day and Memorial Day. God Bless America!

It's a small world. I was in Bamberg, Germany, 65-68, then on to Viet Nam from there after some special training. Lot of memories, some much better than others.

Just checked your website. Neat. Loved your fishing poem. My "Hippner Pond" was Fisherman's Paradise on Spring Creek near Bellefonte, PA, where my Dad started taking me fly fishing when I was about 9. Those were the days:)

We're both lucky to have a lot to smile about. Good luck on the water this coming season.

I love chowder. The cheesy chowder recipe made me think about cheese storage. If you ever had cheese go moldy in the refrigerator this may help.

Take 1/2 of a paper towel sheet and fold it to about a 2 or 3 inch square. Moisten this sheet with white vinegar and put it in the shredded cheese bag or in with a chunk of cheese. The vinegar will not alter the cheese in any way, but you will never have moldy cheese. A Cheesy Grin.:D

Give it a whirl. No more blue cheese here.:) Vinegar has been used for centuries as a preservative. I never had a dill pickle or bottle of ketchup up go bad.

Vinegar is also good for medicinal purposes. Dilute some apple cider vinegar in warm water, and drink it when you have a sore throat or a cold. Eating a dill pickle will also help with a cold or sore throat.

Eat Chowder and Dill Pickles.:lol:
