Yeah, I agree on wild vs farmed — I started with wild, and switched. I like the fattiness of the farmed.
I might go back and try curing wild again sometime, some of my extended family prefer it.
Just looked at your comments on that thread and see you also prefer Atlantic to wild for the same reasons.

I had no breakfast (I wasn’t hungry) but by 11 AM I felt both the need to eat something and to get out of the house and away from my sister for a while. A few minutes on foot from her apartment there are locations of McDonald’s, Del Taco, Rally’s Hamburgers and Taco Bell. I wanted something on the light side as well as something which was, for lack of a better word, “cheap”.
So I chose Taco Bell. There are a few Taco Bell locations in Japan and in August 2021, I did have my one and only taco at one in Osaka. At the then rate of exchange it cost $4.17 for one taco…now with the current rate of exchange one costs just $2.97.
Anyway, I had a standard crispy taco ($2.16) and a spicy potato soft taco ($1.29). They hit the spot and rejuvenated me enough to go on a 8.6km/5.4mi walk afterward.

Back in PA, where it’s cold and rainy 
What better way to warm up than with a steaming bowl of pho & a delectable banh mi.

Irish soda bread to finish off the gravlax and a bit of smoked salmon as well. Fresh potato salad and cucs/red onion accompanied the fish. A mustard sauce was drizzled on the salmon and we had Kerrygold butter on the bread rather than cream cheese. That bread is so darn good, it has Odlums very coarse wheat flour along with AP.

David Chang / Momofuku style eggs - salt and vinegar chips, fried eggs, soubise, whitefish caviar, and chives. It came out pretty good.
Toasts with Mexican crema, chives, and leftover whitefish caviar.

It’s fantastic.
It’s a really good reason to get stoned.
It’s on the tiktok
Did you get the inspo from his recent cooking show? Looks great!
You see what happens, Larry, when you branch out from your regular taco provider and return to the formerly awesome Oaxacan joint at the Unimart? You see what happens? You see what happens, Larry?
Super-greasy lamb barbacoa with a side of fat & a piece of plastic 
, and rather bland but equally lardy carnitas tacos.
Guess we’ll stick to the PA dude’s tacos. Bummer, man.

Thanks! I haven’t seen the cooking show but just some clips from it where he made something like this but with an obscene amount of caviar.

Oh, yeah. That episode was insane. He had an entire bucket of caviar and clearly was trying to use it all up during the show. Bet the guests for the other episodes were pretty salty about that

I spent a lovely morning shopping in Chinatown but didn’t have time to make some bulgur for a bulgur salad I was planning for lunch today. When I got home I threw together a salad using spring mix, carrots and tomato. I made a vinaigrette using evoo, balsamic vinegar and garlic to dress the salad with.

Thinking mini muffuletta as I was given a quart jar of Central Grocery olive salad. Not traditional in any sense but tasted mighty good! A little ricotta, olive salad, mortadella and provolone were the components, I made two 6” flattish rolls from a small batch of pizza dough. Central Grocery has still not reopened
