Salmon is still smoking out on the porch and I'm back from an afternoon of volunteering at a local toy program that serves the entire county. I used to do this kind of volunteering years ago and now that I'm retired, I can return to it. There's a growing list of things that need to be finished sooner rather than later, and many of them contribute to the cluttering activity that's pretty continually in the background.

Last night I dug out a piece of the clear thick flexible plastic that gets used (in my house) as a table covering (the table cloth might be on top or underneath, depending on the activity) and cut it to fit the tall table in the kitchen. And that is where we working on cutting up the salmon and making the brine. I found a couple of other useful items in the cupboard where the plastic was stored and I probably need to find a new place to keep them if I want to find them again.
