So, a "Day for Firsts", our friend 
Well, I don't have all that elaborate fire pit and everything, but I DO have this little Weber Grill that hasn't seen fire nor food in about 10 yrs.
Another first. Salmon.
Growing up, Mama bought canned salmon, mixed it with Raw egg, onion and I think bread crumbs and pan fried them.
The smell was disgusting and to this day if someone is pan frying salmon, I have to leave the house.

Time to go turn everything. I'm afeared I don't have enough coals lit.
As I feared, I had to do an emergency restart, so now it will be a little longer, the veggies may still be quite crisp and I have no idea about the fish. The schwimps look done now though.
And the cook waits once more
Some dried twigs from the yard added, time to put away the charcoal
