Blonde Cop
A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also blonde. The blonde cop asked to see blonde driver's license.
She dug thru her purse and was getting progressively more agitated.
"What does it look like?", she finally asked.
The policewoman replied, "It's square and has your picture on it." The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman.
"Here it is," she said. The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, "Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop."

July is shaping up to be a busy month already. July 4th on a Saturday - not sure how to handle that one.
Then, the following week Shucks will be slinging some Shrimp Cocktail, Gumbo, and Clam Chowder at the O Fest at the Shops of Legacy, 168th & Center. We will be outside, right by Shucks Fish House, and miraculously right next to the Wine Garden. What are the odds????
July 19th brings the 30th Anniversary Party of Absolutely Fresh Seafood Company. It's been a great ride, and it looks like we will survive this recession (hopefully), and continue this locally owned and operated fish biz for another couple of decades.
After that, I'm taking my son, Charlie, on a drive. A really long drive. He has never seen an ocean, so we're going to fix that in Southern California. Plus we'll check out some mountains, giant Redwood trees, and maybe even the Grand Canyon.
Sometimes it's good to be busy.
Thanks for everything, ladies and gentlemen. And check out the 45 things to think about, at the very bottom of this pesky email.

Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns
Dear Walter,
I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor's daughter. I am 41, my husband is 44, and the neighbor's daughter is 22.
We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job eight months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Susan
Dear Susan:
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
I hope this helps
Sincerely,
Walter

Classic Grilled Salmon
Our own Executive Chef Jon Dye's has a great idea for grilling Salmon. Here is how you can apply his classical training:
4 fresh salmon fillets
Medium onion, sliced
1 cup carrots, chopped
½ cup celery, chopped
2 each bay leaves
1 cup red wine
½ cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
SPTT (salt & pepper to taste)
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 cup heavy cream
Sauté onion, carrots, celery and bay leaves in 2 T olive oil for approximately 10 minutes over medium heat. Allow to cool, then add wine and ½ cup olive oil and pour over salmon fillets (it's good to use a Tupperware-type container for this).
Refrigerate for 24 hours, turning over occasionally for even marinating.
Pour off marinade and reserve for making a sauce. Grill salmon for about 5 minutes per side, on a pre-heated to medium, grill. Or broiling is fine as well.
While salmon is grilling, you can make a sauce with the marinade by straining off the marinade to get rid of the vegetable. Stir in approximately one tablespoon of corn starch into ¼ cup of water until it is dissolved, then add to the strained marinade. Bring to a boil slowly, stirring constantly. It will be ready when the salmon is cooked.
Pour over the grilled salmon, and enjoy with a Pinot Noir, rice and vegetable.
