Salty Saturday 2017

Jan05

Salty Saturday is the traditional family bagel and lox brunch we do on the Saturday after ThanksGavin.

For the last couple of years it’s been hosted at my cousin Matt’s house.

In his sunny dining room.

Across the way is the kids table.

And a look at the spread.

Some leftover cheeses from the night before.

Bagel cheeses, like the all important Muenster – let’s hope it’s not feeling rebellious.

Cream cheeses, red onion, and capers.

Condiments.

sliced hard boiled egg.

Philadelphia lox is way better on average than LA lox — except Wexler’s.

Whitefish salad, my particular favorite salt bomb.

Whitefish without the mayo.

Heartburn central: pickled herring. And a bit of fruit to finish.

I also tried a strategy of combatting the salt buzz with a triple shot of espresso, seemed to work.

See here for more ThanksGavin posts.
