Blast you Old Phart Plods and Stelbel! In order to make sure I could go back to Maine next year, I fried some clams and tried them. I broke a tooth! Those shells are hard!!! I don’t see what you find so good about them.
There is absolutely no reason you cannot flatten these into cakes.

“Fish Balls”
1 1/2 cups flaked cooked fish
2 cups mashed potatoes
1egg
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon finely minced onion
1 cup fine dry crumbs or crushed Corn Flakes
To flaked, cooked fish add mashed potatoes,
beaten egg, melted butter, salt, pepper, minced
onion, and beat until light and fluffy. Form into
balls and roll in dry bread crumbs. Chill. Saute (sic)
in hot fat until golden brown, about three
minutes. Yield: six servings.
Bonus recipe from the same source; one of the handiest sauces I know.
This is the basic soup version, but medium is the handiest (I’d bet a reasonable amount of money that I’ve never intentionally made the thick version).
“Thin White Sauce”
1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper Melt butter in top of double boiler. Add flour, mix well and cook one minute. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly until thickened. Cook two minutes. Add seasonings.
Notes from me:
I always use a stove top burner set on low to melt the butter.
Then thoroughly mix in the flour, salt, and pepper.
Let it cook for about 30 seconds. If it browns a bit, it doesn’t matter, but don’t let it burn.
Then add the milk, turn the burner to medium, and stir while the sauce is heating and thickening.
This sauce, as I said, has two more variations.
Just change the butter and flour amounts to 2 tablespoons each for medium, and 3 each for thick. Everything else remains the same.
I use medium for, creamed salmon/tuna (on toast) and cauliflower, cheese and spices of type and amount to taste for chip dips and, of course, sauces flavoured as wanted for anything else (try stirring it into a pan of fried ground beef and cooked vegetables and you’ll have a tasty gravy sauce already on the dish).
these both sound really good! i already make the gravy, but haven’t made the fish cakes in ages. thanks for the great reminder. I always have flounder and salmon in the freezer, sooooooooo….
Thanks, Happy³, Cass and John brings back memories of a better, a softer, time in our lives. And it reminds me, again, on how good a singer Cass truly was, I noticed how smoothly she blended her voice and pitch when she enjoined John in the first reprise.
They certainly don’t make songs and singers like this nowadays!
love Claude’s ‘do not touch’ animations!! I dare say my favorite part is Claudes ‘Ooh shut up’ line. And of course, the snack bar intermission. Great fun.

Yep, Claude, you really fooled them. Cleo knew, but she wanted to watch the excitement. You will never learn, Claude, and we are glad…….sorry!

I can’t see Cleo’s chariot…
It’s right under the arch, in the back.

Does your shoe have a boy inside
What a funny place for a boy to hide
Does your shoe have a dog there too?
A boy and a dog and a foot in a shoe
What a cute, happy little guy!

WHEEE!!!
That one isn’t moving as much for me. Not like some before! 😀
and for me, it’s NOT at all annoying, just fun.
yahoo! it’s moving!
You know, I do not see any movement. Maybe my eyes are shot.
naw, it’s just too much kielbasa.
make it large and concentrate on the center
This time I do see a little movement… not a LOT, but shadowy rings slightly shifting position, and some vibration in the middle.
The only movement I see is when I scroll the wheel.
I just went and got a carton of Whoppers. All because of that subliminal Snack Bar add.
JB has been one of my favorites. I can listen to him any time.
Claude, you are so clever! Almost tricked them. Cleo knew better, but did not see fit to save your dumb ass.

how did you like the Portland Head Light? that’s my all time favorite lighthouse.
oh, and the fish cakes. yum!

Good one, Susan!
Funny!!
I’m fairly certain that is a Gary Larson, pre Farside.
Dragon out that old comic probably took you all knight.
groaning over here
I’ve never fixed these or eaten them, but I have a feeling that you are supposed to take them out of the shell before eating……I may be wrong.
It’s tough to chew with your tongue in your cheek, too.
So I’ve found out!
The “Good Sport” video is the best!
Thanks, Happy³, Cass and John brings back memories of a better, a softer, time in our lives. And it reminds me, again, on how good a singer Cass truly was, I noticed how smoothly she blended her voice and pitch when she enjoined John in the first reprise.

I always loved Cass’s voice. Her version of Dream a Little Dream of Me is a long time favorite. Thanks Happy, for posting this.
Mine too.

this is a great place to come!
So glad to hear.
great to hear you got some relief!……
I mean–REALLY GREAT to hear!
Tuesday I start the ‘torture’ chamber! I can hardly wait!
(GROAN)
Sorry, my caregiver is showing.
Do what your PT tells you to do!
Like Nurses, they know stuff!
great advise, my friend! i have a very knowledgeable PT whom i trust religiously
I’ll second Happy. Pain during PT is weakness leaving your body.
good analogy.
Oh, that is such a relief!
Claude is lucky it’s August…
That button works even better in the Springtime,,,
and the ending is worse in the Fall.
…
I’ll have a small popcorn, please…
care for some caramel corn?
MMM’s favorite!
I’ll give you a little groan there. Clever!
drive up bank in Colorado converted from old caboose
I’ve been in train cars converted into restaurants, but never a bank. Interesting.
there’s one we like in Spokane called Frank’s Diner. great food.
I hope that’s on a disconnected line. Otherwise it would be real easy to rob. Of course you have to get a locomotive, first.

No “flies” on Claude. Shoulda had a Red Bull before he pushed the button.
Oh wait… it doesn’t really.
Good morning, Cleophanatics!
?
Well, now we now why Claude keeps pressing that button… “just because.”
No let up in heat and humididity… sigh
Y’all stay chill. (((((HuGz!)))))
