Meals this week...

• Last night:
• two kinds of smoked salmon, using different cures from Manikowski: Fish, Grilled and Smoked; using feed corn as well as wood to generate smoke. As Manikowski insists, the smoke is mild and sweet, not the potentially acrid and bitter smoke some woods can produce. Though when I heated some corn on the stove as a test earlier, it seemed to me that by the time it was fully incinerated it had gotten some nastiness about it.
  
• smoked olives - same reference; wonderful
  
• campfire potatoes: roasted in foil over coals - same ref.; very good
  
• Zydeco catfish "wellington": smoked calzone-like stuffed dough packets with fish, cheese, veggies - large and tasty. Also from Manikowski.
