Smoked Salmon! You can even, if you like, use cream cheese stuffed into
celery stalks with the salmon laid on top for a low carb version. It goes
well on crackers, or that dark scandinavian rye or pumpernickle, etc., not
just with bagels. For a salad like treat, take a thick slice of tomato
top with sliced red onionandthen the smoked salmon or lox. If you canget
hot smoked salmon that is also very god, even just plain or on a crcker or
cucmber slice.

Wendy-who will, once again , be alone this new Years Eve and missing Syd
blowing his rumpet out the window at midnight, auld lang syne, of course.
