Twenty years ago, my friend since childhood and his wife and kids were at my place for a barbecue.  He convinced me to sign up for farcebook.  With his family and mine watching I saw a girl I knew in school.  I blurted out "I remember her, she was incredibly tight!".  My buddy hooted loudly and said "TOM, YOU DOG!".  His wife, and our young kids were shocked.  My wife relegated me to the doghouse for a couple days. 
I tried to explain that it came out wrong, I meant she was very trim and tight looking.  Nobody would believe my clarification.  Part of my buddy's YOU DOG comment was we both knew her and she was a very devout christian that was unapproachable in a sexual fashion.

Carl's Jr burritos

Carl's Jr and Hardees are one company but they each have a couple menu items that the other doesn't offer.  One of these is the steak and egg burrito at Carl's.  It's really good for a fast food chain.  Steak, eggs, cheese and fresh veggies. The fresh chilies, tomato, and onion really make this burrito tasty. It's very mildly spicy.
Anyway, if you find your way out west where the Carl's Jr operates, it's worth a try.

The grocery store had copper river sockeye filets for $10/ lb. the steelhead and farm raised atlantic salmon were $15/lb. They're ok, but not as good as reds or kings. As far as copper river, I really don't see a difference between that and other rivers in Alaska.  Reds are my second favorite salmon, but I prefer kings as they have more fat on them.
Anyway, this red has enough fat that it started to soak into the paper wrap after four hours in the refrigerator until I put it in a couple of ziplock bags for the freezer. I've never seen a red that oily before.  I'll be finishing my szechuan chicken and fried rice leftovers tonight but planning on salmon with cream peas and new potatoes for tomorrow.
