Monday dinner

Chef salad with creamy Italian dressing. The tomatoes are creole. I don't know how but they are. They are sold 2 to a pack at Matherne's out here in The Place To Be.



I called sweetie from the store and asked if we needed anything for the club sandwiches. He said WHAT? So I asked louder. We went back & forth for a minute or so and then he said, "Oh you mean chef salad." - uh yes that's what I meant. The signal would not go from brain to mouth.

That looks so good. I love me a chef salad.

We're having some "Mexican Stuff"... rice, Fritos, chili, lettuce, green onions, tomatoes... with that Rotel/Velveeta stuff that I eat WAY too much of and have to cut out of my diet. I also had some seedless red grapes.

Recipe

This is another one I'm testing for the Vicksburg cookbook. Old Bay and cayenne are used for the seasoning. Yum, yum.

Harry's feeling better and loving all the cards he's receiving from NOLA. He's my miracle.

I love those!

Haven't had them in ages, so thanks for the recipe. I remember when we were kids Mom made those for us on Fridays. My Sis and I got a kick out of the crunchy bones in the canned salmon. They still got crunchy bones in 'em?

You're a morning person, aren't you?

February 9 2008, 6:27 AM 

A woman after my own heart!

Lolly's recipe sounds close to the one I like. I'm using olive earl to fry. Any better suggestions?

Yes - my most energetic time of day!

February 9 2008, 6:38 AM 

It has annoyed some in the past, but PC is a morning guy, too, thank goodness!

I plan on using olive oil, too - I think it'll work fine. I have no other suggestions - the baking powder is very curious and I bet that's the "secret" ingredient in this one.

I've noticed that every salmon mousse or dip recipe I've ever found calls for canned, not fresh, salmon. I wonder why? Maybe it holds up better? I dunno.

Pretty salad

February 4 2008, 7:10 PM 

I had some iceberg lettuce for a change and made a little salad to go with left over stew turned into a pot pie. Nothing picture or sponge worthy. No I rarely saw Seinfeld.

I second that emotion

February 8 2008, 12:14 PM 

Paula. I could have a little of each also. Lolly, would you please share your salmon croquette recipe?

I will be cooking quite a bit today and organizing my 3 refigerators. I am sure there are a few things screaming out to me in one of them. I am dragging ass today....was up until 4 am with sore throat and coughing. Time for the airborne and zicam. Thought of you, Barb. Maybe it is some upper respiratory bug trying to pull me down. The weather has changed in the past week. Who knows. I do know that I will be making at least 2 kinds of soup today.

If anything is worthy of pics, I will post.

Salmon Croquette Recipe

February 8 2008, 2:53 PM 

If this should be on the recipe page, will a moderator please move?

Here you are Maria

Salmon Croquettes

1 can salmon
1/3 cup minced onion
½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
dash cayenne
1 beaten egg
½ cup flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder

Drain salmon, retaining 2 tablespoons of the juice. Mix fish, eggs and onion. Stir in seasonings and flour. In a cup, combine baking powder and reserved juice and let it foam. Add to fish mixture. Make patties and fry in a little oil. The baking powder makes light and puffy patties.
