Smoked Irish Salmon With Potato Wafers And Horseradish Sa

Here's a side to the Christmas story that isn't often told: Those soft little hands, fashioned by the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb, were made so that nails might be driven through them. Those baby feet, pink and unable to walk, would one day walk up a dusty hill to be nailed to a cross. That sweet infant's head with sparkling eyes and eager mouth was formed so that someday men might force a crown of thorns onto it. That tender body, warm and soft, wrapped in swaddling clothes, would one day be ripped open by a spear. Jesus was born to die.

smoked salmon on top of that.  Brush with freshly squeezed lemon juice,
then add another blob of  Sauce, some pepper and another potato wafer.
Repeat twice more if you  can manage to balance it, ending with a
potato wafer. Garnish with  more Horseradish Sauce, red onion rings,
and a couple of cheeky  chives.  Yield: 6 servings  Notes: Recipe
