Made using my mother's decades old method that she clipped from a
magazine before I was born. Not cracker or breadcrumbs or flour as the
binder. Crushed corn chips. My mother called them "Corn Doodle
Burgers". I think that's what the original recipe called for - a
cheaper version of Frito's.

It calls for a can of salmon, drained and flaked with a fork then placed
in a deep mixing bowl. (remove the bones if you wish) Add one large
egg, some minced onion, a Tbs. or two of sour cream (use prepared
mayonnaise if you don't have sour cream), 1 cup of crushed corn chips.
Sprinkle with some pepper. Mix it together then form into about 6
patties. Place on waxed paper and chill in the refrigerator for about
30 minutes.

(At some point Gary will chime in about the bones in canned salmon and
not liking salmon patties even without the bones. Okey doke.)

Pan fry the salmon patties in neutral oil (canola is good) until browned
on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

I like these made with the crushed corn cnips every once in a while
because they're salty, and I like salt.

It sounds quite similar to the method of using cornmeal as the binder and
doesn't sound half bad. After all, it does have mayonnaise in the mixture!

Really? Then how come most of what we hear about you cooking involves
some sort of Tex-Mex, beans, beans, more beans, and brown rice? BTW,
there's nothing wrong with steamed vegetables but I also roast, stir-fry
and grill them. And unlike you, I don't seem to have problems finding
*good* fresh vegetables.

I do cook a wide variety of foods. I don't expect everyone to like what

Even cheap McDonalds isn't stupid enough to try to sell
fish sandwiches with bones in. Notice the current fish sandwiches
are boneless.

Bone-in salmon started last century when, with no refrigeration,
canned salmon was a big hit. The original companies, decided to
cook the salmon, bones and all, just to save labor and money.
First time salmon for many so they accepted the bone crap. Tiad.
So very tiad!

Tradition holds though so modern idiots will still buy it.
The few times I buy canned salmon, I'll pay more for the small
boneless cans. No odd recipe with chips either...make them just
like you make crab cakes for a good meal.

In my worthless opinion though, only good salmon is fresh
BONELESS salmon steaks. Good eats. Let the "trailer trash" of the
world eat bones and all from a can. Tightwads willing to eat
cheaper. lol

Remember: Everyone loves Jill's meals.

GM, why don't you go back to your burning out computer screen and turn
it off. Umprompted my ass. Julie snarks at me about not *steaming* and
*lightly salting*. All I did was explain how I was making salmon
patties. I dare to reply and you call it umprompted?

Take off those rose glasses. Betcha $50 she wouldn't eat a salmon
pattie/burger if you paid her. Her reaction would be "ewwwww". I'm not
the one who constantly says "I don't like that" or "I won't eat that."

Excuse me? I'm not the one who claimed to be a Princess. Look back at
Julie's history and see where she declares herself to be one. Living
over a ballet studio and having delusions of grandeur doesn't count.

Salmon patties don't have bones in them. You remove the bones before
mashing the salmon with the other ingredients. DUH.

I would like to hear more about that one. For years, Jill was
forced to spend and eat $1,000 per year at the Club. If not, she
had to pay the difference anyway.

Now she claims she got out of that. I'd like to hear how she
supposedly pulled that off.

Tell us a story, Jill. :)

The bones in canned salmon are very easy to remove but some eat them
for their nutritional value. MY first wife who could barely boil
water managed a very good canned salmon loaf that employed cottage
cheese... I'm sorry I never got that recipe. She had no problem
picking the bones out.

Alleged calcium. I pick them out with a fork when I drain the salmon in
a collander over the sink.

I've never had salmon loaf. I have made a nice large stuffed sea shell
pasta (baked) dish that was stuffed using drained (bones removed) canned
salmon. Flaked with a fork and combined with cottage cheese, egg. I
don't recall the exact details. I baked it with a dill cream sauce
spooned on top. It was very tasty!

Don't knock a crock pot. I used mine to make a chuck roast a couple of
weeks ago. I browned the roast first. Came out falling apart tender
which was my intention. Nice gravy. I served it with mashed potatoes.

He's still miffed because I didn't try his recipe for split pea soup.
What he doesn't know is I saved the recipe. Want it? Here it is, as he
posted it in 2014 and is admittedly not *his* recipe:

"This recipe comes from an old "Fresh Market" cookbook.

Split Pea Soup with Sweet Potato (or Butternut Squash)
=====================================================================
1 16oz package of dried green split peas
9 cups water
3 bay leaves
1 tsp. salt

Simmer these, covered, in a soup pot for about 2 hours until peas
have cooked down to a smooth consistancy. Remove the bay leaves.
**note - you don't have to pre-soak the peas**
----------------------------------------------
Prepare the following:

3 T. vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
4 medium sweet potatoes (or 1 medium butternut squash),
...peeled and cut into 1/4" - 1/2" cubes
1 tsp. salt (or leave this out if you prefer)
2 tsp. dried mustard
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. tarragon

In a large skillet, saute the onions and garlic in the oil.
When the onions are tender, add all the remaining vegetables
and spices. Saute for 4-5 minutes, then add 1 cup of water
and let simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender.

Add the vegetables to the cooked peas and simmer for 30 minutes,
stirring often.

After serving, add a little salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
=====================================================================
You can eat this right away or let it sit awhile (or overnight) and
it will thicken more. (I never wait!!!)
This recipe makes about a gallon of soup. What we don't eat
in 2 or 3 days, I freeze in serving-size containers.

Here's the nutritional info for the total batch using sweet potatoes.
Slightly less calories if you use the butternut squash instead.
Fat: 43 grams
Carbohydrates: 435 grams
Protein: 124 grams

Total calories: 2,121 (18% fat calories)

(remember that info is for the whole gallon, not individual servings)"

FWIW, I do think split pea soup looks like vomit. Peas (unless they're
very fresh, small peas) aren't my favourite legume. I love lentil soup,
though!

Having said that, who is he to criticize? He just posted about making
broccoli cheese soup (in appetizer servings, whatever that means) using
Lipton Noodle Soup mix. He's quite the gourmet! LOL

I agree it can be very good.

Lipton Noodle Soup Mix? Yumm!

Enriched Egg Noodles [Wheat Flour, Eggs, Niacin, Iron, Thiamine
Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Folic Acid],
Maltodextrin, Salt, Corn Syrup (Dehydrated), Monosodium Glutamate,
Chicken Fat, Chicken Powder, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil,
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Cornstarch, Yeast Extract, Parsley
(Dehydrated), Chicken Broth (Dehydrated), Disodium Inosinate, Disodium
Guanylate, Turmeric, Natural Flavors, Spices.

And no glass of wine with that for Gary. Wine would interfere with the
delicate flavour of the soup!

Wow, I just found out I am a terrible person: I LOVE split pea soup, AND I eat
the bones in canned salmon. Which, BTW, is far from cheap food for "trailer
trash." If the salmon is mashed with a fork, nobody knows if there were bones
in it or not. How picky of some people!

What a couple of ignorant "foodies." I happen to intensely dislike asparagus, and
okra. But as far as I go, is to say, "Throw it in the compost." I don't make a personal
deal out of it nor insult the posters who do like it. To each his/her own, eh?

Do y'all who are picking on Jill have nothing better to do today? Are you in the Sunday
doldrums? Go make some cinnamon or pecan rolls, that will take a while. Or if you
have a living mother, do something nice for her, and stop giving in to your basest
instincts.

P.S., I also love beets. ;-))

I think Damsel spoiled the idea of split pea soup for me a couple of
decades ago by insisting it should have pepperoni added to it. IIRC she
shared a pic and it looked like very greasy green glop. :(

I remember many posts where she said her husband didn't like or wouldn't
eat what she cooked. He'd pick up something on his way home from work.
If she did happen upon something everyone liked, she'd cook a whole
bunch of it. Then she'd complain because they didn't want to eat the
same thing day after day. Variety is *not* her forte.

After reading years of Ju-Ju's whiny posts and the fact that her husband was
never home, working she said, it's not hard to imagine why he left. So, no
sinking to low depths, just surmising.

Well, Jill, Damsel may have been trying to be original, or she didn't have a ham bone handy.
It is never greasy, on its own, and ham flavors it well. I do not like lumps in it, though, and
always use a stick blender to smooth it out.

As to regular peas on their own, I really dislike them, and pick them out of any Stouffer's frozen
meals I eat.

What are you nattering about 'basest instincts'? I'm 100% positive many would
not care for what I cook at all just as I care not for what some people cook.
Nobody is forcing me to eat what I don't like and I'm affording them the same
courtesy.

Years and years. We all heard the tales about how he was never there or
he picked up something to eat on the way home. The writing was on the
wall when she kept posting about how no one would eat what she cooked.
All the failures. Her "champions" tend to ignore or conveniently forget
those posts. Meanwhile, if I choose to steam veggies it's somehow an
abomination. Go figure.

Nothing wrong with cooked salmon bones in the can. They are so soft that
if you bite into one you probably would not even notice.

Funny, but when you see real dancers they tend to be slender and fit.
Then there is Julie and her alleged dancer daughter who don't fit the

The antithesis of ballet or other choreographed dancers. Ballet dancers
do tend to be slender and fit. Male or female, it's rigorous work and
burns off a lot of calories. I've never seen a fat professional ballet

In Bruce's worthless opinion (he said it!), the last fish
patties/burgers he made used canned mackerel. Want to talk about
trailer trash? Canned mackerel ranks right up there. IMHO and YMMV.

When I drain the canned salmon I do pick out the bones. It's easy
enough to do with a fork. But I don't freak out over it if there are a
few of the very soft bones still in there when I mash the salmon. Pick
those out with a fork, too.

The recipe is very tasty even without the crushed corn chips. Normally
I just use a little flour to help bind the mixture together with the egg
and minced onion, sometimes minced bell pepper, salt & pepper. The sour
cream if I have some or mayonnaise if I don't. I usually don't have
sour cream so I use mayo. Either way, they're quite tasty.

I am not a fan of mackerel. I worked for a while as a sea mammal trainer
and started my work day cutting up hundreds of pounds of the Spanish
Mackerel to feed to the critters. If I walk into a fish store and there
is mackerel I can smell it over the other aromas.

My mother used to remove them but when I was a teen I learned from a
friend that the do not need to be removed, that you can just press them
lightly with a fork and they disintegrate.

I'm not trying to push salmon patties on anyone. Like them, don't like
them. All I did was post about what I made for dinner and how I made
them. Terribly sorry it was about *food* and *cooking*. I've got no
idea why it led to a discussionabout whether or not I steam or lightly
salt anything. Note: I didn't steam the salmon patties. LOL Might as

I like them with canned mackerel or with canned salmon, so we have
either. Should I avoid canned mackerel because it's cheap? What kind
of snobby nonsense is that?

Besides, this whole newsgroup is built on cheap. Chicken wings for
$.95c a pound, cow's ass for $.75 a pound, armadillo dicks for $.10c a
piece, insecticide-ridden Walmart vegetables, GM corn, xanthan gum
concoctions etc. You're all a bunch of tightwads from hell :)

I never really thought about them. Mom's recipe said to pick out the
small round bones so I did. But I don't freak out if there are a few
left in. They're so very soft when they are mashed I never really
notice. Extra calcium, actually! Gary just wants to pick on me today.
I don't really care what he thinks about what I cook and eat. I love

You keep saying Tex Mex. I never said that.

I make what *we* like to eat. I made steaks tonight for the gardener. I
don't eat steak. Can't digest it. That's fine as I don't like it. There is
leftover Pad Thai. I did purchase the brown rice noodles. The rest is from
scratch. I don't like that either. Actually never had it because...eggs, but
it doesn't appeal to me.

Recent posts have been of stew, bread, soft pretzels. I also made pasta with
red sauce and Italian cheeses, Italian seasoned chicken breasts, walnut
crusted chicken breasts, a cheese ball... The list goes on and on.

Beans are my favorite food. Always have been. I happen not to like steamed
vegetables at all. I think are tamales and hum bow are the only steamed
things I do like.

I believe that you live in a warm climate where you can likely grow most
produce year round. I don't. So far celery has been the only problem and
that has been confirmed. It's not just here.

Get over yourself. You seem to think you're superior. You're not.

I never lived above a ballet studio. I lived above Jay and Lynn's dance
studio. They taught ballroom. Not sure what happened to Lynn. Here's Jay's
current studio.

http://jays-dance-experience.com/

I have confirmed that it is him because I saw a pic of him under images. Not
on his website.

The old building is now a Walgreens but it was very near his current
location.

As for the Princess thing... Yep. I am a Princess and I deserve to be
treated as such. I say that all the time because it's true.

Bullshit Dave.

Me age 8. Yes, a dance pic.

Same recital. Me in the middle.

http://s6.photobucket.com/user/juliebove/media/a1.jpg.html

Me on Halloween. No, I did not usually wear that makeup but I did wear that
dress and gloves a lot. This was the time period where I was teaching mainly
disco.

Now bug off Dave and go steam something with Jill.

Well, Jill, Damsel may have been trying to be original, or she didn't have a
ham bone handy.
It is never greasy, on its own, and ham flavors it well. I do not like
lumps in it, though, and
always use a stick blender to smooth it out.

As to regular peas on their own, I really dislike them, and pick them out of
any Stouffer's frozen
meals I eat.

I still miss Damsel!

I really miss our recently departed Cheri. She was cool.
I hope her family is dealing with her loss ok.

She must have known that something was seriously wrong.
She last posted at around 10pm the night before her operation.
Just normal posting as always.
Next day she was dead so maybe died on the operating table?
ARRGHHH! WTH?

Anyone closer to her know the details?

I'm not even going to attempt to crop this one so sorry for
posting it all. That said:

Idiot Jill has no clue to what I cook other than pea soup.
Jill thinks pea soup looks like vomit and won't try it.
That's a princess thing. Daddy's little spoiled girl.
Cindy thinks it smells like vomit.
Joan thinks it's disgusting.

My opinion...none of these girls knows how to cook pea soup. lol

Steaming veggies is fine. Microwaving veggies with a lid is also
an equally good way to do it.

You went wrong when you admitted to steaming a thick steak on the
stovetop with a lid rather then finishing it off in an oven.

You tried to recover your comment by saying the lid had vents.
Still steaming, Jill. Fail!@

Evil bitch. I'm picturing you now in kitchen reaching for a knife
with an evil grimmace on your face. You sent us that pic. No
doubt, your ex husband took that pic.

Kids in dance class is just an activity and a good exercise. Not
necessarily wanting or expecting to be a professional dancer.
Quit showing your dark side.

Not at all. You are still buying mystery beef since you don't
raise and kill your own cattle. Your home ground beef is still
mystery meat. chump.

And that's one of the oddest things you claim here. 12oz burgers?
Get real.

If we don't like it, why should we cook it?

I've hated it all my life, no matter who makes it.
