Another Recipe from Pile to File ~ Saucy Salmon ~ Winter Woes

I tried yet another recipe from my hoarded pile.  I did adjust it a teensy bit, and although green onion gives a dish color, I opted for shallots.

It's not really called "Saucy" but it did make a lot of sauce, so I think I could cut back on the sour cream next time.  I am lucky to be able to find organic butter, sour cream and cottage cheese at our local grocer.  I also had organic whole wheat rotini noodles on hand for this recipe.  The family fought over leftovers, they liked it that much.

We awoke to all water pipes frozen.   Oh glory.  I can absolutely say, without care, that I am sick of this winter.  It can leave any day now.   

I helped Hubby work on the pellet stove, and we removed the auger, and are looking for a new one now.  Last night Hubby was so cold, he was in bed with a sweatshirt on, and the hood up.  I had to laugh, he looked hilarious.  It really was that cold.  My hands hurt to knit.

Hubby picked up the price list for meat chickens - Jumbo Cornish Rocks, $1.20 each.  Last year we raised White Rocks and they were too small.  We are still contemplating.

Last night we got a call that Hubby's niece's daughter (17) was in a car accident.  We have yet to hear if she is okay, but her passenger was sent up to another hospital with various injuries.  The passenger ended up in the back seat after impact.  Unfortunately, the daughter driving had pulled out in front of someone, and it was a road where folks drive 55mph or more.  I was told the woman who hit them is okay.  Ironically, one of Hubby's nephew's boys, had been in the area at that time, and actually was one of the first folks to come upon the scene.

Here is the original recipe (from the 1968 cookbook, The Pots & Pans Cookbook, by Ann Seranne, and Joan Wilson), noted with our changes (other than using organic, or home grown items):



Salmon Romanoff
(serves 4)

1/2 cup finely chopped green onions (I used shallots)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. butter 
1 cup cottage cheese
2 cups sour cream
5 dashes Tabasco (or homemade hot sauce)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pound can salmon (I used pouches of wild caught salmon)
6 ounces medium noodles (we used  12 oz. organic whole wheat rotini, there is that much sauce)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (we used a bit more)

1. In a 10 inch skillet saute onion and garlic in butter until onion is transparent and tender.  Empty into a large mixing bowl.
Note:  I simply removed my skillet from the burner, and onto a hot pad.  I mixed right in the same pan.

2. Stir in cottage cheese, sour cream, Tabasco, and salt.  Stir in liquid from can of salmon.  Flake and add salmon.  Mix lightly.

3. Preheat oven to 325°F.  Grease open baker (10 x 6 x 2 in.)

4. Cook noodles in 3-quart saucepan according to package directions.  Drain and stir into salmon mixture.

5. Turn mixture into baking dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese.  Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly brown.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
