Smoked Salmon Spread with Dill

When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before cream sets out too long
You must whip it
When somethin’s goin’ wrong
You must whip it
Whip it good
Is it just me or is every single summer weekend a little too full for comfort?
Coupled with the crushing toil of modern work life, it’s sometimes a little too much to handle.
That was my weekend.
Which is how Devo ended up being the weekend’s soundtrack. An upbeat and wacky way to sail through it all.
We threw a ribs cook-off for the cooking club this weekend; about 25 members descended on our house for the barbecue potluck. While I couldn’t make ribs (because of the broken oven), two worthy competitors stepped up for the challenge.
That left me the cushy task of assembling of a simple, but elegant appetizer.
When Matt lived in Alaska, smoked salmon was (relatively) inexpensive and plentiful. He used to make smoked salmon pinwheel appetizers for us all the time. The accompanying cream cheese and herbs were a flavorful counterpoint to the salty smokiness of the fish.
That (and Ina Garten) was the starting point for this dish. It must have been good because our guests inhaled it and its savory zesty goodness.
Oh, and the ribs were mighty tasty too. I need a new oven already.
