I'm so lame. I'm publishing an entire post about crab cakes. I bet you're a little embarrassed to know me right now.
Moving on. One of my 2010 To-Do List items is to make crab cakes (sidebar!). Aside from Mike's mashed potatoes and maybe a perfect cupcake, they're my favorite food. But unlike sex or pizza, you actually can have a bad crab cake. I don't want my first (hand-cooked) crab cake experience to be bad!
Neither does Mike. He puts up with a lot of my experimenting in the kitchen, but he'd sure like to know he's getting something delicious for dinner.
Do you have an incredible crab cake recipe? Do you know of one you can link to? So far, I'm leaning toward trying the Barefoot Contessa's recipe. She's from prime crab country after all.
But, still. You are the smartest people I know. If anyone can trump the Barefoot Contessa, it's you.
(Also, we're staring down our last Meatless March day. I'm doing just fine but I'm pretty sure Mike is going to have a cheeseburger for breakfast on Thursday. His words today: "I'm over this crap." Anyway, I'll write about our meatless month soon.)
