Hi Sean,
RH> It's under consideration for us, just haven't gotten the old round
RH> tuit. (G)
SD> I understand that only too well...
Not quite enough hours in the day sometimes. Other days it feels like
time is dragging--but then it speeds up and I still haven't gotten
everything done I'd intended to do. (G)
RH> quite high and muddy, even into western NY and on our way south. Got
RH> back, turned on the news earlier tonight and found out we've an air
RH> advisory for tomorrow, the Canadian wild fires are still making it
RH> rough to breathe.
SD> We're in the same baot here. Took the bus to and from the hearing aid
SD> clinic at the VA yesterday during a "code orange" air quality alert.
SD> Thankfully it just made my eyes burn a bit but didn't hurt my lungs.
We were anticipating air alerts while we were in NY and VT, had a few
days of sunny but hazy weather in NY. Got to VT and the rains came
pouring down so the air cleared up. Most of the time I feel the smoke in
both my eyes and lungs so I appreciate the rain. Got back to NC and
have had a lot of hazy weather; I think it's beginning to clear now.
Had an EF3 tornado hit the Rocky Mount area (a couple of counties east)
yesterday during a brief, but intense storm.
SD> Just checked the air quality for today. It's green. It's green for
SD> fire and smoke also. It's dark and cloudy...probably getting ready to
SD> burst.
The weatherman on the station we watch said that by the week end things
will be clear here. Meanwhile, I'm staying inside as much as possible.
SD> Anyone in the US can check their air quality by going to
SD>
https://www.airnow.gov and entering their ZIP code.
Good to know. I usually check Weather Underground on my phone; they're
pretty good about local issues.
(salmon)
RH> We buy it from time to time but not all that often. Got some canned on
RH> the shelf that we need to use up, maybe some will go into fish cakes. I
RH> don't have a real recipe for them, just a mix of a mostly drained,
RH> picked over can of fish, chopped onion, egg or two, flour and/or bread
RH> crumbs basically--mix until it holds together, fry in a bit of oil
RH> until browned on both sides. Good with fried potatoes.
SD> Here's my recipe for salmon patties:
SD> Title: Sean's Salmon Patties
SD> Categories: Main dish, Fish, Seandennis
SD> Yield: 4 Servings
SD> 1 Can (14 3/4 oz) Salmon
SD> 4 oz Saltines finely crushed
SD> 2 T Onion flakes
SD> 2 Eggs
SD> 1 T Lemon juice
SD> 1 t Black pepper
SD> Oil or butter for frying
More basic than mine, but the use of lemon in it sounds good. I use
bread crumbs instead of the crackers--reminds me, I need to do a machine
loaf to make into crumbs and crutons. I'll probably wait a bit until
temps cool down a bit but still need to do it at some point this summer.
