Lox is supposed to be salty! That is why you put it on plain things, like bagels.
(Not whitey-flavor bagels like blueberry.)

When I worked at the bagel shop, there was someone who actually ordered cream cheese and lox on a chocolate chip bagel with some regularity. I just tried not to think about it.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
In a very nebulous way. I have no money now, so it is hard to think of moving, but I just love the thought of Alaska
If there's anything I can do to make this less nebulous, Sophia, let me know.
If Sophia moves to Alaska we must F2F there -- wouldn't that be fun? Okay, pricey.
Or, you know, even if she doesn't move here!
So far, it's notable for criminally wasting its lead actors, especially Gale Harold. I plan to give it another episode, but it better become a lot less predictable.
Yeah. It showed some promise, but not a lot.
I did enjoy envisioning Brian Kinney as the FBI agent, though.
That was the best part!! I've just been watching QaF on DVD recently, so Brian is fresh on my mind. I think that may be why the pained look GH gave from time to time looked so incongruous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The container just said smoked salmon. But it's hardly like I've never had the stuff before. This particular incarnation, however, tasted to me of nothing other than salt, and that's a bit disappointing.
It's possible my taste buds are shifting their appreciation (I do seem to be liking sweet less and peppers more, within reason). Or just that I got some salty-assed smoked salmon, which is Occamish to me.

For me, I am so used to hard smoked salmon, I can hardly taste the smoke on lox. It just tastes like raw fish to me, which I'm kind of meh about.

Brian Kinney is just a fun person to imagine in many situations! (no not that way). I read a fanfic where he was hired by Wolfram and Hart for publicity (I think) and it was fuh-nee. Also the one where he decided to run for office. Hee!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Lox is generally cold-smoked after being salt-cured. Without the cold-smoking, it's gravlax.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I thought that was a Klingon dish.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
hard smoked salmon
Thank you for reminding me to bug my mother about sending some down. Hopefully she smoked some this year.
Also, lib, did you hear that the Fly By Night Club is closing? So sad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
