My wife and I wanted to try something new for Thanksgiving this year. When it is just two people, cooking a turkey and everything that goes with it can be overkill. We decided on smoked salmon.
Last year I bought a gas and wood smoker for doing BBQ. Hey, I live in Texas now. It is required for all men to learn to BBQ! I have done pork loin, ribs, and brisket with great success. Smoking a brisket is an all-day affair. The best brisket I ever made was in the smoker for 10 hours. Obviously salmon was not going to take that long, but I really did not have a clue what to do. So I went to the Internet. I found a recipe right away using Google. It turns out that smoking salmon takes less than an hour, unless you want to make jerky.

I found The Internet has had a profound impact on society, from big things like business-to-business applications, to small things like recipe web sites. Today I cooked the best salmon I have ever had, period, thanks to a recipe I found on the Internet. Knowledge is indeed power, and its also yummy.
