Smoked Salmon for Lunch
August 30th, 2006
Coming up with appealing lunches to pack can sometimes be a bit of a challenge.
I love a challenge 
Really, I’m growing more and more every day to enjoy packing Pat’s lunch. Oh, sure, sometimes I’d rather throw the lunch box out the nearest window than spend ten minutes packing food to put into it.
So here’s something new I have been giving him sometimes that he likes a lot:
A bagel - one of those with “everything” bagels that’s got all sorts of seeds on and in it. He can split and toast it at work.
Cream cheese - I put a good-sized portion of cream cheese in a small plastic container.
Smoked Salmon - a couple of ounces of smoked salmon wrapped in plastic wrap or in a small baggie.
He assembles this when he opens his box for lunch — He toasts the bagel, spreads the cream cheese on it, then tops it with the salmon.
His lunchbox typically looks something like this:
breakfast - yogurt with berries and granola or a package of oatmeal
lunch - a sandwich, wrap, leftovers or salad
snack - a Payday candy bar, an apple, or some cheese and crackers
Packing his lunch isn’t a burden at all, but another way to bless someone I love.

This recipe sounds good. Where do you get smoked salmon at?

I bought a package of smoked salmon at Sam’s Club. It’s about 4-5 servings and, being smoked, lasts a long time in your fridge. I think it’s probably not too hard to find at most of your nicer groceries.
