A note to Cail Bruich: when you advertise gravad lax with salad and rye bread, do not serve sour-dough bread. It is not the same. Also, consider serving the sour-dough rye bread with a smidgen of butter. Just saying.
Ah, I am nursing a post-birthday hangover (although not due to any alcohol consumption – perish the thought! – just general enthusiasm). So many of you have sent me birthday greetings – thank you so, so much – and I will make sure to get back to each and every one of you. It might take a few days, but you’ll get a personal thank you.
However, someone is having a very special birthday today! Happy birthday, Charles!
