My brother, Gregory Gregory ( the kid so nice, Mom named him twice) asked me this question, and I'll pass it along to those of you who like lox.




"How much lox could a musk ox box, if a musk ox could box lox?"

Is the lox boxing musk ox wearing foxy sox? Any rocks in those foxy lox-boxing sox?

By any chance is this Musk Lox an elf cause I hear they have an assembly line up there?

There are capers in the box with the lox.

are capers the same as onion

Does a Lox boxing Musk Ox wearing foxy sox with rocks watch clocks?

Or does he just wait for his supervisor to tell him to go home?

Capers are the pickled buds of a Caper bush. They're nasty (unless, of course, you like them).

When the clock-watching Musk Ox in his rocks-filled foxy Musk Ox sox stops watching clocks and boxes more lox, the Musk Ox boss's stocks rocks.

Trapdoor, capers are not nasty. How could I make Koenigsberger Klops or Spaghetti Puttanesca without them?

Gotta get all the twongue tisting done before a Lox is put on the topic.

Is it Kosher to sell Lox in a Box?

This should probably be in the Off-Topic section of the Food Forum [FF-OT].

Which makes we wonder if there shouldn't be a Banjo-Related subsection of the Off-Topic section of the Food Forum [FF-OT-BR].

Wouldn’t we also need a Banjo-Related Clawhammer/Old Time subsection of the Off-Topic section of the Food Forum [FF-OT-BR-C/OT]

Should the Musk Ox’s boss who stocks rocks while the Musk Ox in his rocks-filled foxy Musk Ox sox require the rocks-filled foxy sock wearing Musk Ox to stop watching the clock and use that time to box more lox ?

Now I am hungry, it is hard to find good Lox down here. But a Brotchian is the proper way to eat them. Never heard of Caper toast. Capers are for pasta.

If the ox in question lives in the shed over by the Muslim church, would it be a mosque ox?

dawgdoc - Posted - 12/14/2009:  06:44:19

At least it comes with a napkin.

The Lox Boxing Oxen's name is Oliver Oliver - and his wife often calls and asks his boss, "Is Olly Olly Oxen Free?

We use onion and cheese, I might try some capers on it though.

Okay, so here's how you make it. This is an FF topic, after all.

Actually, this recipe is for gravalax, which is a Scandinavian version. But it's very close (classic lox is actually a brine cure - this is a dry cure, but it works well.

By volume, make up a mix of 60% white sugar and 40% NON IODIZED salt (non-iodized VERY important). You'll need about four cups of this mixture by the time you're done, so make plenty.

Take a very fresh salmon filet, remove the pin bones (easy to do with a small pair of needle nosed pliers) and set the salmon on a wire rack large enough to hold it, and put the rack in a pan big enough to hold THAT.

Pour on the salt/sugar mix. Liberally. You basically don't want to see any pink if you can help it. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and put in the fridge.

Every 12 hours, pour off the accumulated liquid in the bottom of the pan, rinse the pan and and re-apply salt/sugar, Re-cover, and back in the fridge with it. After about 3 days, you'll find that it pretty much stops giving off liquid. Wash off the extra salt, pat dry with paper towels or cloth towels, and you're done. Slice thinly on a bias and enjoy. To store, wrap tightly with plastic wrap - it should keep for about a week if you can keep from nibbling it that long.

Variants:

- classic gravalax is made sprinking the fish liberally with chopped fresh dill when you apply your cure mixture.

- another nice variant: after the cure is done and the fish is washed and dried, coat generously with a freshly ground mix of black peppercorns and toasted Szechuan pepper. Press into the fish.

Thanks, guys. If I had known you were so free of mental blocks and fond of mocks, I might not have posed the original question. Your responses have caused me to break several ribs and a gut, although some of them were patently crocks (and I don't mean crocs. I'm surrounded by several clocks, all of which suggest that it's bedtime. Holster your Glocks. The cocks do craw. The musk ox checks the locks on Fort Knox, hocks his jocks and shocks his parents by hanging out down by the docks, in expensive frocks, crying "Hello, cox!" Chocks away! Goodbye! A pox on no one's houses! If you've GOT to see a doctor avoid procs. P.s.: If Banjo Hangout is populated mainly by guys like you, Banjo Hangout rocks.

I read that the Saturn eats Lox and liquid hydrogen. Yummy.
