Hey I went fishing this weekend too! About 5 average sized trout and we ate them last night...yummmm :-) Oh tell me, did you cook them over an open fire, with lots of butter? I could eat every last morsel from the bones when they're all buttery. Yes, all buttery and I did eat every last morsel. We have two of them that we didn't cook, so I'll have them tonight! Your new profile picture is really cool! That is a cool picture! Darn, not a front shot.. You would've gotten a cow mask. You can't tell from that angle, but I am in fact already wearing a cow mask. Never go fishing without one. cow masks are pretty much awesome. I'm glad that you've recovered from your illness and that you're enjoying yourself. Ooh, I love the picture too.

Isn't "fresh lox" (I'm assuming "lax" was a typo) an oxymoron, since lox is smoked and all that? I still don't know how you can be so slim while married to a chef. :)

Karin, lax is short for gravlax. I suppose the only way you eat it is fresh, or relatively fresh, since it tastes bad if you keep it more than a day after you take it out of the brine. Lax may be cold smoked (mmm), but I've only been curing it skin-side down in equal parts vodka, salt, sugar, and lemon, seasoned with dill and pepper. And then I eat it!

Right now, I'm training for a mountain race. That's where the food goes, thought I admit that having a summer job as a baker is pretty much torture for my ravenous sweet tooth. I could have eaten a dozen sugar cookies today... (sigh)
