I came across this site which says it has the best way to make home fries. I have some potatos that need cooking so I might give this one a try to celebrate our independence from the british.

I was at Costco a few days back and saw these in the freezer case. Now I will admit I generally avoid the frozen pre-packaged anythings (with the exception of the quick and cheapo burgers since some days you just want a BBQ burger with no prep time) but these Salmon burgers caught my eye.
Costco – Trident® Wild Alaskan Salmon Burgers
I picked up a bag for $12 I believe, and I put two on the grill last night. They were…interesting. I like salmon, but I have never had a salmon burger. I was confused on even how to eat it becuase salmon generally is not served on a bun…ever? So I put the burger on a bun because thats what burger means to me…”put on bun to eat”. With a hamburger you put cheese on it, do you put cheese on a salmon burger? With a fish filet you put tartar sauce on it and a burger you put ketchup…what do you put on a salmon burger? All these questions led me to just put it on a bun plain and dig in. It tasted like salmon, but on bread. I will say that it was kind of confusing for my palate, that whole salmon on a bun thing.
I ate it but it wasn’t very satisfying…I can imagine it would be great if I had a condiment to put on top or if I had used my coal BBQ and given it some smoke instead of my gas grill (it was raining and I was tired).
So my review on these is if you are adventurous with condiments try them out and tell me what I should or shouldn’t put on the rest of these when I cook them…otherwise I think I will just cook them and eat them on a plate like a salmon pattie.
What could be better than a hard boiled egg, wrapped in sausage, rolled in breadcrumbs, and deep fried? Please let me know if you can think of anything. Scotch eggs are a fantastic, artery clogging, heart attack inducing, gastrointestinal experience not to be missed. They are also messy and annoying to make; but it’s worth it.
Begin by hard boiling six of the eggs. While they are boiling crack your seventh egg into a mixing bowl and beat it along with the tablespoon of water. Smash up your breadcrumbs if they aren’t already. Get your sausage out and also put your flour out on a plate.
Once your eggs are done peel them and roll them in the flour until they’re coated. Also coat your hands in flour. Now the fun begins.
Separate your sausage into 6 equal portions and begin wrapping your eggs in the sausage. I found the best way to do this was to form the sausage into a patty of sorts and then push the egg into the center of it while wrapping the sausage up around the egg. Stick and pinch the sausage together so that the egg is completely coated in sausage. You will probably want to wash your hands after this. My dog was very happy to clean off all of the sausage stuck to my hands when I was done.
Once your eggs are covered in sausage, dip them in the beaten egg with water and roll them around until they’re completely coated. Now dip them into your breadcrumbs and roll them again to completely coat in breadcrumbs as well.
Deep fry (or pan fry) the eggs in oil at 370° F until they are well cooked. You want to be sure that your sausage is cooked all the way through which takes longer than you’d think (or at least it took longer than I’d think). I don’t have a deep fryer so I cooked my eggs individually in a small frying pan with about a quarter inch of oil in it. If you use this method it’s important to keep rotating the eggs and rolling them around in the oil to keep from burning the breadcrumbs, or you could probably cook them on a lower temperature than I did, it’s up to you.
Cool your eggs on a paper towel to soak up some of the excess oil, slice them in half and serve.
