Foodie Alert
My sistergirlfriendgirl sent me a LoxBoxOK, I'm game. Publix has salmon on sale for 5 bucks a pound, and lox is going for close to twenty. I have Kosher salt, water, pepper and sugar. Pick up fresh dill, and I'm on my way home.
It took all of ten minutes to put the ingredients together, and that included rinsing the salmon.
Two days later, I look in the back of the refrigerator, and damned if the box doesn't contain something that looks like lox, as opposed to raw salmon sitting on a bed of salt and dill.
The RLA and I cautiously sliced up the salmon, and it did indeed look like real lox. A schmear of cream cheese later, and we are eating the best damned lox I've had in years. How about that?
Next time I'll use a little less dill and a hair less salt and try the Julia Child version with a little cognac.
This is so cool, I'm going to have to give them to my cooking friends, and you all know who you are.
The LoxBox can be found here.
Oy, yum!!! You’re ALMOST making me wish I ate fish. Almost.
Actually the LoxBox can really be found here! At least that’s where I got mine.
