Salmon croquettes
Drain ~15-oz can salmon. Crumble in enough crackers to make the liquid ~a paste (~4 saltines). Add in salmon, pick out (and eat) visible bones.

Make into palm-sized patties, dip in cracker crumbs (~10 saltines), and fry until golden-brown -

Any help out there? -
Whack scale
I thought up a 5-point scale for when a book/movie/etc has brain-hurtingly-bad science, plot holes you could drive a semi through, and so forth. It's the head-whack scale. Basically, how many times you'd need to be whacked on the head in order to find it plausible. 1 whack for "only an expert would be bothered", 5 whacks for "you'd need to be ( Read more... ) -
Pumpkin, apple, and sausage soup
~1 lb bulk Italian sausage from Sunflower (1/3 hot, 2/3 mild), several pounds of pumpkin, cut into wee bits (maybe 5 pounds?
