Salmon Patties with Lemon Sauce

A nice homemade dinner on the table, some Herbie Hancock playing in the room… Father’s Day dinner is amazing.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can salmon, drained and bones removed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp. minced onion
  • 1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper

Combine ingredients; mix well. Spoon into 10 greased muffin cups. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until browned.

Lemon Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 4 tsp. AP flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 to 1/4 tap. Tobasco

Melt butter in saucepan; stir in flour to form a smooth paste. Gradually stir in milk; bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and Tobasco. Serve over patties.

Out of Sorts on the Boring Side of the Line

Honestly, I dont even remember which game was being demoed — Medal of Honor? Black Ops? All the shooters I saw at this weeks conferences kind of blurred together for me in a stream of non-stop explosions and guns and “ripped from the headlines” power fantasies… and my rigid E3 schedule and general lack of sleep certainly didnt help. I think it was the former, but I suppose that doesnt matter so much as what I do remember… namely, the sensation that the games industry has forgotten how to communicate by any means other than screaming at the top of its lungs about the awesomeness of lovingly rendered gore.

Read the whole thing. This is an all-too-often unspoken-about problem in games today.

At a time when some stand-out games are finding ways to transcend the previous limits of the medium and tell compelling stories, other developers are creating games that glorify violence to the abandonment of storytelling.
