[Still Thinking]

Back east, I wasn’t a partisan of smoked salmon. But here in the Pacific Northwest, there are 4 or 5 different ways of smoking salmon, and some of them go extremely well with ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, crusty French bread and a good local microbrewed beer or ale.

Well, I love all that other stuff, so I'll take your word on the salmon and try some if I'm ever up your way.

“a good local microbrewed beer or ale.”

I’ve been a good teetotalling protestant all my life, but recently I heard an episode of The Survival Podcast about brewing that actually had my mouth watering. So being an info junkie I ordered the brewer’s bible, and have assembled plans for a still. We’ve got tons of heritage apples out in the country, and can only process so many. I’m thinking aple jack and brandy will have some serious barter value in the coming medieval economy.
