Leftovers XIX: Salmon Cakes

Another big meal last night means another round of leftovers tonight. Not that we mind in the least. We prefer to serve too much rather than too little. We certainly do not want to leave our guests wanting more. And leftovers allow us to do interesting things the next day, like tonight’s salmon cakes.
Leftover from last night was a good amount of salmon and mashed potatoes. Both had an Asian flavor, which gives dinner tonight an Asian theme.

Leftover mashed potatoes usually become croquettes, but the salmon inspires us to be a little more adventurous by way of salmon cakes. They were fantastic. Crispy fried breading. Rich and creamy inside. Just wonderful.

Perhaps most impressive is that both older kids ate them. The baby refused, but we are happy with 2 out of three any day. Besides, she is just as happy eating her oatmeal cereal.

The big news today comes from our daughter. She took her first math test today. She got a 94%. She was disappointed.
