by Helen Porter
Homemade Fishcakes - simple as simple gets. This makes 8 good sized fish cakes
Put 4 large baked potatos in the oven, gas mark 220. Rub sea salt into the skins and then turn the potatoes every 20 mins or so. They will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
When the potatos are nearly ready, get a baking tray and place foil down - leave enough so you can wrap the fish up!
Place 3 salmon fillets and 2 cod fillets onto the tray. Sqeeze a little lemon and drizzle a little white wine if you have any! Wrap the fish up and cook for 12-15 minutes or untill cooked. Please low down the oven as opposed to the top where the potatoes should be
Once cooked take the potatoes and fish out. Leave both to cool.
Flake the fish and the inside of the potato into a bowl, add salt, pepper and a few knobs of butter.
Lightly blend the mixture, but be carefully not to mash! Add about 2 handfuls of finely chopped spring onions and about 1 handfull of finely chopped parsley.
Once all the mixture is together, put in a fridge and leave for a few hours untill chilled.
Once chilled you can make the mixture into round patty shapes and again leave to chill for at least half an hour
You then have 2 options
Option 1 - lightly dust in seasoned flour (sale & pepper) flour and fry straight away
OR
Option 2 - dust in flour, then in eff then in breadcrumbs. Dont buy shopped breadcrumbs use some bread toast it and crunch up to make your own crumbs but remember season them!
Serve with a wedge of lemon and salad with perhaps a oil and balsamic reduction dressing

by News Canada
(NC)—As the holiday season arrives, our menus are sure to include tasty treats and yummy desserts, including traditional and new, anything-but-humble pie flavours. Pies are a favourite way to end a meal and they've been part of our culture for a long time.

Let's NOT Talk Turkey
by Kristin Johnson
The carving. The leftovers. The endless stuffing. Actually, you love the stuffing, cranberries and turkey trimmings. However, it's been seven years and you know your family will throw the turkey out the window if they have to eat the bird one more Christmas (and never mind the lectures about starving children in Ethiopia---or better yet, send them the turkey if you can get it through security.)
The Pilgrims and your third-grade teacher started something by preaching the turkey gospel. But if you didn't have turkey---as your vegetarian friends remind you, it's so much better than Big Macs--- what would you serve?
Some ideas:

Slice avocadoes and combine with sliced cucumbers, c Let's NOT Talk Turkey
