THE SUB

ANOTHER REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T WASTE YOUR TIME IN THE SHAKE SHACK LINE. JUST A FEW BLOCKS UP FROM MADISON SQUARE PARK AT THE ACE HOTEL IS NUMBER 7 SUB. SIMPLY DELICIOUS.

I HAD THE BOLOGNA

DIY: WAXING (COTTON)

THIS BARBOUR HOOD NEEDED SOME REPROOFING AND I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A GO MYSELF. I HAD A TIN OF BELSTAFF WAX COLLECTING DUST, SO I CALLED AL AT NEW ENGLAND REPROOFERS FOR SOME ADVICE. I'LL TELL YOU I WILL NEVER DO A WHOLE JACKET MYSELF. FOR THE TIME, MESS AND EFFORT I WILL KEEP SENDING MY JACKETS (FOR REPROOFING AND REPAIRS) TO AL. HE HAS WORKED WONDERS ON A COUPLE OLD BELSTAFF MOTORCYCLE JACKETS AND IS ALWAYS AFFORDABLE AND PROFESSIONAL.

GRAVLAX FINAL

THIS IS THE GRAVLAX SERVED ON A POTATO GALETTE I MADE LAYERED WITH ONION AND DILL.

 THIS IS A PASTRY CRUST GALETTE I TRIED AS WELL. IT HAS SHREDDED POTATO AND ONION WITH DILL.

BOTH ARE DELICIOUS.

PROJECT GRAVLAX

WITH A PILE OF DILL LEFT OVER FROM A DEVILED DUCK EGG GARNISH AND THINKING ABOUT THE DELICIOUS GRAVLAX PIE AT M.WELLS, I DECIDED TO MAKE MY OWN.

INGREDIENTS:

2-3 LB WILD SALMON (I USED KING SALMON)

BUNCH OF DILL

1/4 CUP KOSHER SALT

1/4 CUP SUGAR

CRUSHED WHITE PEPPERCORN

CRACK THE PEPPER ON BOTH SIDES OF FILET THEN

EVENLY COAT BOTH SIDES WITH SUGAR/SALT CURE

PILE THE CHOPPED DILL ON THE SKINLESS SIDE 

WRAP TIGHTLY WITH PLASTIC WRAP

WEIGH DOWN THE SALMON

I USED A WOOD PLANK AND A PIECE OF BLUESTONE FROM THE GARDEN. A COUPLE SOUP CANS ON A PLATE PLACED ON TOP WORKS JUST AS WELL.

STICK IN THE FRIDGE FOR 48 HOURS. FLIP ONCE EVERY 12 HOURS. RINSE THE CURE OFF BEFORE YOU EAT IT.
