  This is simple, hearty, cheap, and all the ingredients may just be in your pantry and fridge. It was invented by a desperately broke, food-loving Ph.D. student in the midst of a bleak central Pennsylvania winter. I know, I know...canned salmon?  Remember--it's supposed to be dirt cheap!  And once it all comes together, you won't be thinking about what's in the recycling bin.

<br />As a postscript...I am getting married in two weeks, and the invention of this recipe 4 years ago cemented a friendship that has since evolved into something more.  When I see this recipe, I think about the role good food plays in our lives, and in our histories.  This one is dedicated to Grant--for making an honest woman out of me!
