Statement of purpose: gravlax

In the midst of being overwhelmed by the massive, Nordic expanse that is Canton’s new IKEA, Jessica and I encountered its second floor cafeteria (!) around lunchtime. I was thrilled immediately, not by the furniture store’s more famous Swedish meatballs or cinammon rolls, but by a big sign: “Gravad Lox: $4.99.” I hadn’t had lox since New York last year, and I paid nearly $10 for it there.

Anyway, it was delicious, and I’ve still got an appetite for it. Apparently, it’s not too tough to make. Expect a post soon regaling my triumph or defeat.
