Pot & Cover

This was a good week for food in our home.  Just a regular week (second week of the school year), but the food always makes the week better...and I can't wait to come home and kiss the cook! The tools ready to cook, the right knife (sharpened by dad), a solid cutting board and some Bourbon to sip. time to sauté a bag of onions But Papa Murphy's Cowboy pizza for dinner.  My favorite take out pizza. Crab cakes in the making and our usual salad. sipping bourbon with orange twists the Sautéed onion cooling off and headed to the freezer Scott's crab cakes . Nice and crispy but tender inside.  I loved them...but they didn't meet Scott's standard.   had pilaf left over as a perfect side, with Scott's sauce for the cakes a little pork belly  mushrooms and fixins for Marriage Chili ! spices tender pork loin chili cut beef nice and browned fresh cilantro hot hatch chili...

please remember that although I write these words...these days 90%+ of our recipes these days are made by my E.M. (everything man)  These are a variation of his crab cakes...herby, salty, rich and delicious!  Douce with fresh lemon juice...preferably lemons from your grandma's California trees...and EAT! crab cake recipe

Guy Fieri, or however you spell his name...well there are just crazy menu items featured on this show! Things like fried chix benedict...crazy stuff...so no wonder when Scott later announced Crab Cake Tacos...well eaters can't be choosers...if he's gonna cook...twist my arm! You'd think crab cakes would be enough...but in our house many things are elevated in popularity if its in a tortilla or between two pieces of bread with mayo and cheese. I have to admit, in the spirit of the crazy dishes on Triple D...I made up a 'crab cake benedict' recipe (at least in theory), of a piece of buttered toast (think a thin slice of good sourdough, toasted with butter), a crab cake, a fried egg, melted cheese and either hollendaise (sp?) or peppery cream gravy...scott ...
