Notes: I had run out of cheeses in Ames.  So, instead of heading up to Wisconsin with a cooler, I looked south to Des Moines.  I found a European market run by a nice fellow from Belarus.  So, look for new Eastern European cheeses and fruits!

 This stuff is pretty simple, but very well done.  The salmon is the star, but it shares the stage with the luxurious cream cheese.  Very good stuff.
