4803. robertjayb - 11/6/2012 4:54:28 PM Help!
It is snowing and I am trapped in Wisconsin... 4804. iiibbb - 11/8/2012 3:22:12 AM The best thing I've ever put on a bagel, and it's taken years to find it.
Smoked Tuna Salad (i.e. Essa Bagel) – a work in process.
3 oz smoked salmon (West coast, not lox)
6 oz chunk tuna
3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tbl lemon juice
7-8 baby carrots
Salt to taste (pinches)
Place carrots in food processer and chop finely. Add tuna and salmon and incorporate with food processor. Add lemon juice, salt, and mayonnaise; run processor until desired consistency. May try this with some celery. 4805. judithathome - 11/8/2012 8:24:31 PM That sounds delicious! Cutting the smoked salmon with canned tuna evens out that strong smoked flavor, too...genius! 4806. judithathome - 11/8/2012 8:25:47 PM OOOhhh...maybe add a teaspoon or so of dill pickle relish!
Smoked salmon and dill? Primo! 4807. concerned - 11/8/2012 9:23:29 PM It is snowing and I am trapped in Wisconsin...
Pray for global warming:)
4808. resonance - 11/9/2012 2:49:12 AM The hell's 'West Coast smoked salmon'? Nova I know, Scottish I know, lox I know. 4809. Wombat - 11/9/2012 3:18:58 AM Hot smoked, not cold smoked. Like Kippered Salmon 4810. iiibbb - 11/9/2012 2:24:52 PM I may have over-reported lemon juice requirement, cut that by half... I eyeball everything but the fish (packaging) 4811. resonance - 11/10/2012 8:53:07 AM Ah. I'll stick with the Nova. 4812. resonance - 11/10/2012 9:00:35 AM I love cold smoked salmon. I absolutely love salmon sashimi. I could probably eat a pound of it! But hot smoked, let alone cooked salmon -- sorry, just can't do it.
Goes back to when I was a kid and would occasionally be fed this nasty ass salmon casserole.
There are a number of things I hated as a kid that I can now eat -- fresh tomatoes, any sort of onions, most kinds of fish, oysters, liver, horseradish, pate. There's been a couple of times I've tried cooked salmon as an adult, hoping it was something else I'd now like (because salmon's good for you and it's easy to cook and it's versatile). No dice. 4813. iiibbb - 11/10/2012 2:31:48 PM salmon is only a minor component of this salad... this is the best thing I ever put... it is still missing something, but I hapve a theory to test. 4814. iiibbb - 11/10/2012 2:32:40 PM to match that deli's flavor... this is really close though. 4815. iiibbb - 11/10/2012 2:37:25 PM I'm wondering if a hint of pimento would give the accent I want. I'm not sure how much to try yet. 4816. thoughtful - 11/17/2012 4:40:18 AM Finished afghan...will be wedding gift for a gal I know....
Now I'm working on a crocheted quilt which is a new one for me....consists of over 700 small squares that then get sewed together to create a pattern. 4817. arkymalarky - 11/17/2012 4:45:01 AM I love crochet. Used to do it a lot and I've been wanting to get back to it. Lovely afghans! 4818. judithathome - 11/17/2012 8:25:39 PM Man, that was a lot of work!! My sister does a lot of crochet...I have a beautiful afghan she made for my son.
I doubt I could take that up as a hobby now...I can hardly hold a pen to do my crosswrd puzzles and have given up driving altogether because of my problems with my hands. 4819. wabbit - 11/19/2012 8:16:10 PM Beautiful quilt, t'ful. I used to knit, now wish I had learned to crochet, though doubtful whether I could do either anymore.
JaH - squishy squeezie balls! I have them at work, at home, almost always within reach. You've seen my hands, exercise is the only reason I have any use of them these days. 4820. magoseph - 11/20/2012 6:07:51 PM Squeezie balls--Thanks for the tip, Wabbit. 4821. judithathome - 11/20/2012 8:26:18 PM Well, the food was fabulous at the Hawaiian Grille in Kileen TX yeaterday (160 miles from here) and the ride down south got off to a little later start than we'd planned; another couple went with us...not much later but just enough to set our return timeline coming home north being off and preventing us from being in a humongous multi-vehicle pile-up wreck on the way back!!!
Five huge trailer-trucks, one carrying hazardous waste, overturned and piled up...15 cars rammed into one another and one fatality happened when one of the cars was crushed between two of the semis. We were way in back of the traffic jam, coming upon it about an hour after the intial wreck...we were in that jam for 45 minutes until we got to an exit ramp and took backroads all the way to the next town....
Saw the news story after we got home and they said the interstate wouldn't re-open until after 9pm.
There were about 7 helicopters, HasMat trucks, ambulances, police, highway patrol...just scary shit. The other woman and I were crazed by the traffic all the way down to Kileen...we're not used to a lot of "open road" travel. Both of us would tense up each time a huge truck would go by; in fact, we finally ended up taking a mild "nerve" pill to calm down and thank god I had them in my purse! 4822. judithathome - 11/20/2012 8:26:52 PM Hey, Mags...howzit?
