Mackerel Patties

April


1 15oz. can mackerel, drained, flaked
1/2 c. celery, diced
3 T. onion, minced
3 T. oleo
3 T. dry parsley
1 egg
1/2 t. horseradish
salt/pepper

Mix fish, bread crumbs, veggies, egg, horseradish and seasonings. Shape into 5 patties, Fry on each side in oleo for 4 minutes or until golden brown.

If you are living on air or food pantries and health matters most, this is very healthy and that old bread and that single egg can make this meal. I don't fix it a lot but I have been in those shoes.

An excerpt from my diary April 23, 1978

I'm trying to teach you the song "Point of no Return" by Kansas as we walk to Mayberry Park to fly kites.
All went well until a stray dog ran across our lines, jumping at the kite tails. He just wanted petted and you girls did that well, then he just walked away. You see, there are enjoyable yet fleeting moments in ones life that happen for a second but the sweet memory lasts a lifetime. When you feel down, take yourselves back to those seconds in your own lives..Mother
