Okay, the last couple of times I have blogged about baby food it's been to show off. I'll admit it. But tonight, dear reader, I have to admit to defeat. Massive defeat. Ooooo, it was a Carla Kitchen Disater tonight!!!
I thought I'd try whipping up something yummy for Cate with what I had in the house. Again. You might remember the Chicken Balls - they were a spur of the moment deal-e-o and they worked a treat. Tonight I used for inspiration a can of salmon. In all honesty, it was probably all down hill from there.
Thought I'd whip up some salmon patties for Cate. I used:
* 2 potatos, boiled, skins on
* 1/2 can of salmon
* Some chopped frozen onions
* Smidge of minced garlic
* A few basil leaves (why? They were there. No other reason)
* 1 grated carrot (sneaking vegies in no matter what)
* 1 knob of butter
Whizzied it all up in the food processor, had orange garlic smelling mush. Hmmmm. Added:
* Shredded tasty cheese
* 1 egg
and whizzied again.
Still not much better.
Over it by now and had a grumpy kid on my hands to boot. I rolled little salmon balls in bread crumbs and fried them in olive oil. Oh bad. Bad, bad, bad. They just wouldn't bond together, they were waaaaay too mushy. As I was trying to flip them, they would just turn into piles of sloppy mush.
I made six before I cracked the mega shits and chucked the rest of the orange garlic goo into the sink and blasted it away with hot water.
I presented one to Cate but she met it with distain. She poked it with a spoon for a few moments them demanded custard and two fruits, followed by strawberry yoghurt (she's no fool). Well, you win some, you lose some.
Postscript:
I did freze the five other salmon patties but do suspect the dog shall be enjoying those at a later date. Ha! Sucker dog!
