2 cookie day

I had to have 2 cookies at the lunch meeting today. However, I did not require 3 cookies. That would be ridiculous!

Poor S. I made salmon patties last night for him, which he'd been requesting for awhile. However--the recipe I found on Allrecipes.com called for "seasoned" bread crumbs, which I used. Whoo-wee! Them patties was spicy hot! Even I could only stomach eating one, and they turned out pretty good otherwise. Anyway, because of them, he was up from about 3am on. I could hear him wandering around the house, unable to sleep! (In contrast, I slept for 9 hours.) From now on, "regular" bread crumbs will be used.

Salmon note: there were some gross little round bones that were in the canned salmon I used. I picked them out. Then, as I was frying the patties, I saw a bunch of tiny white bone slivers. Oh great, I thought, we'll be picking bones out of every mouthful. However, when the patties were nice and done, I picked one of the bones out and bit it to test it. It was perfectly edible! We ate the patties and didn't even notice them. Questions: Why/how does this happen? Were those even bones???

Now I'm packing up for tomorrow. I'll be all day in Montgomery County, TX. Looks like I have to leave the house around 8am (ouch) to get there in time for my 10am class. Dang, I'm going far. I'm getting almost $70 in mileage, so that should be a clue. Now, where can I have a $15 lunch up there?
Silly picture taken summer 2005, for no reason at all.

My mom used to make us salmon patties (in my opinion, ugh, but anyway) and there were always those tiny bones. As you said, they're edible.

Oh ok, good to know! DH loved 'em, just too spicy.
