Q & A

You've got questions, I always have answers! 

Q: Do I miss the "green" of New England?
A: Not yet. Sure I miss some people, and whatever, it was my home for a long time. I thoroughly enjoy the west and the variety here. Open sky where you can see. Stars in the night sky and meteorites. The smell of vanilla in a forest with Ponderosa pines. I'm making do. 

Q: Green Chili Salmon Burger Recipe??
A: Well, in many grocery stores in the US you can get little jars of "green chilis". I think they are roasted anaheim chilis and cost about 89 cents. This can be used instead of typical condiments for any burger, sausage, hot dog, etc. 

If you want to make your own salmon burger, I'd say skin the salmon, mince or food-processor it. Add any or all: minced onion, scallion, garlic, shallot, fresh herbs like cilantro, mustard. Mandatory: green chili, and probably want/need a binder like egg whites. maybe 1 egg white per 4 salmon burgers. 

Skip the buns and gets some real tortillas. Grill up extra peppers with olive oil at the same time, if hot toss the seeds,  chop and eat it instead of high fructose artificial colored ketchup, mustard and relish (which I admit I love).

Heat up the tortillas on the grill.

Q: You quit your job to go back to school so you make less money in the future?
A: Yup. You bet. Never been happier with a decision.  I'm going into renewable energy and leaving computers behind.

Q: Where's the bitterness? (As in "your blog sucks, where's the grandstanding?")
A: For those of you who don't know me, I may have a reputation of being rather acerbic from time to time. I left it in the Northeast. I'm not taking it back. (OK maybe it has something to do with not working full time, etc). 

Q: What's the weather forecast?
A: Sunny. Sunny and Warm. Sunny with a breeze. Sunny. Sunny with winds gusting. Sunny. ETC!!!!
