**Sixteen o’clock, and the chowder is just about ready. I’ll give it another five minutes.** In the meantime, I’m snacking on the crispy salmon skins that I cooked in the toaster oven with a little salt. ---

@Johnny_L.A: Those skins sound fantastic. I did not know \*\* lunch\*\* had been a MMPer. Thank you. Makes the rest make more sense. Hadn’t known they were a Doper; hadda have been a loooong time ago. As to @Bumpazine, here is their last MMP post from 2+ months ago: > [@(Old) Writing Letters - A Stationery MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-writing-letters-a-stationery-mmp/990993/166): > > Hey y’all I’m going to be gone for about 5 days.

I used about 1.3 pounds of wild-caught salmon (less the skins), one pound of Yukon Gold potatoes (3 small potatoes), a medium onion (8 ounces), two stalks of celery (5 ounces), and three small bay leaves. > [@LSLGuy](#): > > @Johnny_L.A: Those skins sound fantastic. Oh, yes. I hate wasting food, and I _love_ crispy salmon skins. These had a bit of meat on the edges too. I put some foil in the toaster oven tray, sprayed it with PAM, put the skins on, sprinkled them with kosher salt, and stuck them in the toaster oven for 20 minutes (I think at 350º, but I’m not sure – whatever it was set to). ---

Howdy Y’all! **red and MOOOOOOM** have expertly explained N.O.L. I am so used to doin’ that and forget not everyone may know. In other news, still rainy here but supposed to go away soon.

Happy Sunday! I am so far behind I will never catch up. It’s been busy around here, but it looks like nothing gets done. There is so much going on. It seems like for every item I cross of the list, three more must be added. I’ve been sleeping a lot too. I guess my body needs it. It’s been rainy all day today and we are supposed to have snow in the morning. I hope it doesn’t last long; I need to go out tomorrow. ---
