I'm cooking our salmon tonight in parchment bags (en papillote). This is one of my favorite (and one of the easiest) ways to cook fish. You can wrap and tie sheet parchment, but I like to find these little pre-made parchment bags…so easy for Airstream cooking. Here's a view inside…

We hopped on the ferry this morning (with our truck, our Airstream, and our Hobie) and headed for Whidbey Island. It was fairly effortless, actually. We showed up about 5 minutes before the ferry arrived (if that) and got right on it. Arrived at the Clinton ferry terminal and headed…
