My mother bought two types of bread: the first was the kind of loaf with extra thick slices that sandwich dreams were made of, reserved for herself and her nice-but-probably-drunk boyfriend. The second was the no-brand white that was so fluffy as to be near-translucent, the stuff that cost less than a quarter a pop, […]
Same Day Hot Smoked Salmon
I’m going to say this riiiiight up front before the mansplainers and their ilk show up: this hot smoked salmon recipe isn’t one for the purists.
