Wilbert's Offering

Posted Tue, 03/23/04

 

Wilbert finally broke down and cooked a meal today. I can't remember the last time he propelled himself to the kitchen to cook for the both of us. He usually prepares his own breakfast, but since I don't eat until around noon I rarely get involved.

 

However, today he could see I was not inclined to cook. I'm trying to catch up on some writing work; being sick put me days behind. Wilbert took it upon himself to put together lunch. Granted we had leftover vegetables from our corned beef meal Saturday (a mix of cabbage, potatoes, carrots and butter with lots of salt); but my husband also prepared the following, and it turned out rather well:

 

Salmon Loaf

2 cans (16 oz. each) pink salmon, drained

2 C crushed soda crackers

2 C crushed Ritz whole-wheat crackers

2 jumbo eggs, lightly beaten

1 C milk

3 TBS onion, finely chopped

2 TBS dried parsley flakes

2 tsp. salt

Dash black pepper

Butter

 

In a large bowl, mash the drained salmon; combine with remaining ingredients. Form mixture into a loaf-shape; place in a buttered loaf pan (approximately 9x5x1). Bake salmon mixture at 350-degrees for about forty-five minutes or until loaf is firm. Note: Recipe makes enough for eight people, so it can be halved if desired.

Wilbert typically likes leftovers; he takes them to work for his night-shift "lunch."
