Lox. Who doesn't like thinly sliced, dead, raw fish?

I’ll say something nice at your funeral.

"FP was a pain in the ass! But he was a kindly pain in the ass."

Something along those lines, OK?

Cream cheese and smoked salmon sounds way better.

There is that, but my grand-daughter (the youngest) gets her elder brothers hand-me down sneakers and flip-flops and doesn't seem to mind.

But my grandbaby wouldn't know a pair of brogans if she saw them.

She’s thinking, how is that cat going to focus that camera without opposable thumbs?

I grew up in hand me downs but at least they were my sisters. I got a new outfit once a year at Easter to wear to church. I did not like hand me downs.

Yes, sometimes I like the red onion too but it has to be so thin you could see through it.

Yeah, but I've got a 3 of my local grandkids yelling "Mobile Hamburgers" when they see a cow in a field.

I was thinking “Gee, he don’t smell too bad for a dead guy,” but that’ll work too.

Cute, although it was likely made to happen by smearing a little raw salmon on the camera, and having Kitty lick it off. Little-Miss-Frown Face reminds me of another time the smallest person in the photo serves to act as an impish contrarian. I’m thinking of the wedding for Prince William and Princess Kate. There they were, enraptured in their loving embrace of matrimony, when way at the bottom of the frame, this toddler looks up at them with the biggest scowl you could imagine, as if to say,”All this for a Wedding?”

Why would anyone eat locks?

I don't think even Johnny has a palatable recipe... ;-)

That reminded me of driving my three-year old nephew in the car one afternoon and, when passing by a cow pasture, I asked, "What are those?"

"Cows", he answered.

"What does a cow say?", I asked.

"Moo", he brilliantly replied.

"And what do we get from cows?", I continued.

"McDonalds!", he proudly answered. ;o)

What do you use to mask the brassy taste?

What's The Difference Between Smoked Salmon And Lox?

smoked salmon vs. lox

Smoked salmon is a blanket term for any salmon: wild, farmed, fillet, steak, cured with hot or cold smoke.

Lox refers to salmon cured in a salt-sugar rub or brine (like gravlax). Nova is cured and then cold-smoked (unlike lox or gravlax). There's also hot-smoked salmon, which is cured, then fully cooked with heated wood smoke.

Now, to acknowledge the purists. Real, authentic lox is made from only the belly portion of the salmon. Yup, like pork, the belly of the fish is typically the richest, fattiest and most succulent portion. Cured and smoked, it's saltier and more...uh..."aromatic" than its milder non-belly counterpart, and if you're lucky enough to try it on a bagel with cream cheese, it's hard to go back.

When you buy lox anywhere other than an old-school appetizing counter, even if it's clearly labeled "lox," what you're almost certainly getting is simply smoked salmon. And frankly, that's fine by us.
