Coincidentally, I was at the hairdresser's that day, flipping through magazines, waiting for my turn, and spotted a recipe for "crab cakes". Yes and almost copied it out by hand. But, having joined the techno age, realized in time that my iphone would do it for me. Perfect timing for our crab.
I emailed my friend, Linda, to see if she would like to help with all that prying out of meat from shells, for a good share of it. Thus a crabby party was hatched. Good kitchen shears were useful, ice pick, pliers and nutcracker. We set to work, ending up with 3 pounds of shelled crab meat. And relaxed after with glasses of lemon mead and chips.
Sorry Bob for a very crabby week-end, ha ha. We had not only the Crabby Patties, but crab with melted butter, lemon and new potatoes, Crab Quesadillas and Crab Salad Niçoise. I hear Linda enjoyed her share as well.
