Salmon Cakes and a wonderful blog

The Aspiring Homemaker no longer posts, but I love her blog

She is from a self-sufficient, homeschooling family in rural Georgia, and they participate in reenactments at several locations.
I make the salmon cake recipe in the above link on a regular basis but substitute dried potato flakes for the cornmeal. It reminds me of the fish cakes my mom would buy from Joe's Seafood Market in Woodside, Queens. We are talking Depression era food here - inexpensive and yummy. My mom would serve the fish cakes with Franco-American canned spaghetti. My husband got to enjoy this canned spaghetti once when he was my fiance. I promised I would never make canned pasta when we got married. LOL. I grew up with it and never questioned it.
Anyway, the Aspiring Homemaker is a lovely young lady with some great recipes and pictures, and I am sad that she has discontinued posting, but you might enjoy perusing her blog too.

By the way, before The King's Speech which I own and is a wonderful movie, we had Bertie and Elizabeth - a BBC production that I own and enjoy very much. Fish cakes come into play in this clip,  about a minute in.
