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.
Olives.
Cucumbers and tomatoes as condiments.
Cucumbers and onions — looking pretty.
Capers and chives.
I like my cream-cheese with chives in it.
Muenster and Swiss. Always makes me think of the Muenster Rebellion but I love it still.
Two kinds of whitefish salad. Chunky smoked.
And creamy whitefish salad (lots of mayo). I actually like this one better.
Two kinds of lox, regular and pastrami lox — which I now love. Low salt too considering.
Pickled herring.
Roasted beets.
Matt made a frittata too.
And here is my plate — delicious but it did induce ridicule for including 4 full bagel halves!
To combat the salt, I also tried a strategy of pounding a cold press coffee, which seemed to work.
