conversation came up earlier about Korea and my translation app on my phone, decided to translate a small bottle of Soju I had. I was supposed to slam this before i got on the plane coming back. But, I was in the throws of a severe hangover and decided not to. So I tucked into my check bag. Here it is 16 years later, the funny thing when running my translator app over it was the fine print. It can give some folks some hope

in its full glory

Salmon!? Im going to try to make some gravlax style salmon on my smoker.
Nope this time we had wild caught pollack. They were out of salmon at food lion this week. I made it with the recipe I shared here a while back. It was really good.

If you still have booze in that bottle 16 years later, I don't think alcoholism should be too much of a concern.

Now I feel like I'm on the high side of puberty. I just realized the last time I was in Seoul was forty years ago.
43 and I haven't ever been Tom! I really want to visit some of the Asian countries.

I love the cold water fish like cod, Pollock, and halibut. Too bad you cant catch them here. Great choice!

Hoping the best for you my friend, listen to the Doc. Maybe to lighten your mood, I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize for taking part in the hijacking of your build thread
Thank you 😊
No worries, this thread is for all of us, no apologies needed my friend.

I don't know what gravlax style salmon is but I love salmon about any way I can get it. Lol
The only difference here is I will cold smoke them for a short time on some apple, or pecan wood.
