For the love of lox
For Boxing Day, I went to IKEA today for some overdue furniture shopping. I have cardboard boxes (it’s a cheap box tie-in, sorry), instead of bookshelves, and I am determined to have all of my book friends out and happy by year’s end.
The shopping was fine and I spent money, yadda yadda yadda… but it was all backdrop for lunch. For the awesome gravilox plate. HEAVEN. A huge heap of lox (rhymes with box!), dilled mustard dressing, field greens and apple cake… somehow in the middle of Texas, it’s European food. Delicious and healthy (maybe for the mental health?)… the rest of the shopping day was a blur, but when I think of that lunch, everything about it is in sharp focus.
Tomorrow I’ll put together furniture-in-a-box and think of that lox, while I also plan dinner. You guessed it: we’re having salmon! (No more bad rhymes, though)
