When I feed the dogs they sit until they're told they can eat, and I scoop a few kibble from each bowl so when they finish they turn to me and when both are done they're given the last few pieces from my hands. That way they don't look to the other's bowl to grab extra.
Smoked salmon last night is one of the best batches I've made. The only real change was using two types of soy sauce because I was running out of the standard variety. I had some black soy, rather viscous and very rich, that I substituted for about 1/4 of the amount called for. It's easier to make it when I buy the fillets; in the past I've bought whole fish and filleted myself, but those aren't available often.
The predicted high today is 86o. By Sunday it will be back to seasonal cool temperatures. Weird December.
