Best Salmon Cakes Ever
I grew up in a large single-parent family. My mother cooked a lot of mackerels but never salmon because mackerels were cheaper and could be stretched further in a stew to feed ten children.

I heard them talking about how good salmon cakes are.

During the time of my quarantine because of the coronavirus pandemic, I discovered an insatiable taste for bagels, especially the everything bagels.

I love the bagels so much and eat them so often that I might have become a bagel addict.
