Five Senses Facts
Name a food you absolutely love?
Did you know taste is one of the five senses?
The five human senses in ABC order:
1. Hear- Sound waves enter our ears and travel through
our tiny ear canals that lead to the eardrum.
2. See- Light enters the eye through the cornea. That
light passes through the cornea and hits the eye lens. The light moves to the
retina and the optic nerve transmits the visual information to the brain.
3. Smell- We inhale air that contains odor. That air
binds to receptors inside our nose and then the odor messages get sent to our
brain.
4. Taste- When you eat, your saliva helps break down
your food. The receptor cells that are located in your taste buds sends
messages to your brain through your sensory nerves.
5. Touch- Our skin is the biggest organ on our body
and every part of our skin has touch receptors which travel along the sensory nerves
that connect to the spinal cord and the signals are sent to the brain.
Here is a tasty recipe for you to try out if you like salmon. I hope it makes your taste buds happy. Enjoy!!!

Salmon Burger Recipe:
4 tablespoons of olive oil; divided
8 cloves of garlic minced

2 slices of bread ripped into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Get all your ingredients together. Mince the garlic and dice
the onion. Fry the onion and garlic with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a
large frying pan on medium high heat for about 7 minutes or until golden brown:
stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside. In a large bowl put the
drained salmon, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, Italian breadcrumbs, ripped up
bread, 2 eggs, and the cooked onion and garlic; mix up well with your hands or
a fork and form into 6 burgers. In the same pan that you cooked the onion and
garlic in add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and let heat up add the 6 salmon
burgers to the pan and cook on medium high heat for about 8 to 10 minutes on
each side or until desired level of doneness is achieved; be sure not to burn them.
Remove the burgers from the pan and set on a plate with paper towels to drain
excess oil off them. Serve on a multi grain roll or bread of your choice with
lettuce, pickles, cheese, mayo, mustard, and ketchup or whatever your heart
desires.
