Dear Believer: My mom had a green thumb, but unfortunately she employed it in the kitchen, not the garden. Her salmon patties contained more egg than salmon. Which resulted in disgusting huge yellow spots. And, unlike you, she made the darn things every Tuesday night. That was bad enough. Worse was the fact that I’d have salmon patty sandwiches in my lunch bag on Wednesday. Go try to trade one of those babies for a cupcake or even a banana.
