Daddy's Birthday

I saw some Salmon in the cupboard and it reminded me of how much Daddy liked Mackerel. So I thought I would make some Salmon cakes. I made up about 1 cup instant potatoes, threw in 2 hand fulls of oatmeal, 2 eggs, a chopped onion, and 2 small cans of salmon. I rolled the patties in corn meal and pan fried them using less than a Tablespoon of olive oil....so maybe we would not call it fried....also you know I never have corn meal so I opened up a box of Jiffy mix and used a little of that. They made so much I will have to eat them at every meal for 3 days to eat them all...I had some fresh spinach I wilted down and some steamed asparagus. I made some peach tea earlier today using frozen peaches and it tastes almost as good as Olive Garden's peach tea.

I had been having a bad week this week, more mentally than physically, I think. I thought surely I was not this bad last year on Daddy's Birthday so I pulled up that post on my blog last year...I was worse, much worse than today.. Don't bother to look Sisters because I was pitiful! This time last year was when I was taking that chemo that made my blood pressure go through the roof...I was off my rocker for sure..

I'm glad I looked though because I all ready feel much better just knowing I am not as crazy as I was last year at this time...
