About ten years ago I found a recipe in the paper for cured salmon and tried it out. Ever since then I can't bring myself to buy real smoked salmon more than mayyyybe once or twice a year as a real treat, because let's face it, I can't match what they do in Norway and Scotland with real smoke! This is a reasonable, cheap substitute for when you get a salty-smoky fish craving, though. Goes great with...

The July 2009 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Nicole of Sweet Tooth . She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network. I really wanted to like this Challenge. Really, I did. After all, Milanos are one of my absolute favorite cookies. But... I don't like Mallow cookies.
