Christmas is on the way!

Today is the last day of November, where did the time go?  Summer was here and gone. I did put the pool up this year and it was fun to get in there this year.  I missed it last year and the year before...glad I was able to get it up now.  In January, I will be able to join a Y!  Yipee!  I am so happy I will be able to go and swim and use the machines.  Maybe I can get to feeling better...I really haven't been doing much cooking.  Been going out a lot with a friend and so I don't have the recipe this month.  I promise I will try to work on getting more recipes on here!  Have a wonderful Christmas!

March?????

My goodness where has the time gone. It has been one wickedly cold winter here in Ohio, ice, snow, wind, now thunder and lightning...wild season.

Next week starts Lent...fish will be the star of the season. Here is a recipe for Salmon burgers..hope you will enjoy it!

1 can of salmon, drained, skinned and boned 1/4 c. dry bread crumbs

1/4 c. finely diced onion 2 Tbsp. mayo or salad dressing

1 beaten egg 1 tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. parsley flakes 1/8 tsp. garlic powder

Hamburger buns

In a medium bowl combine salmon, bread crumbs, onion, egg, mayo, lemon juice, parsley and garlic powder mixing well. Shape into four burgers ( Mix will be moist). Grill until both sides are browned. Serve on the hamburger buns with your favorite sauce and toppings.

Happy New Year

Yes, it is now 2011. The time has been flying by. I did find my mom's recipe box and found a really old recipe that my grandmother would make. It is Czarnina or Duck Soup...I'll share it with you as I did like to eat this...

1 6 lb. duck

1 c celery, diced

1 c prunes, unpitted

1/2 c. vinegar

6 TBSP. sugar

2 TBSP salt

1 c cold water

1 c flour

duck blood

cooked noodles or dumplings.

Cut duck in pieces and put in large pot with plent of water. Bring to a boil and spoon scum off surface, lower to simmering and add celery, prunes, vinegar, sugar and salt. Duck should be tender in 1 1/2 hrs. About 15 mins. before it is done, slowly add fluid duck blood blended with cold water and flour. Stir constantly until soup thickens. Serve the soup, prunes, and meat with the cooked noodles or dumplings. (There really isn't much more than a Tablespoon or two of duck blood needed) Hope you will try this and enjoy!
