Freeze leftover pasteurized crab meat?
Comments (10)Zabby, I could have used your help on that dinner! Our waitress/friend guessed the crab sauce had no cream, but when I made it just with chicken stock, wine, butter, and flour, it tasted like gravy! I'm sure an expert sauce-maker could have done better but I would have preferred a cream sauce to what I made. Maybe next time I eat there I'll talk to the guy who made up the recipe. It was a special, it's not always on there. Anyway, ok dinner, but I should stick to cooking vegetables since they're always my favorite part of the dinner anyway...I finished the broccoli and potato cakes but not the halibut. Thanks to all the feedback, I decided to use up the crab by making crab cakes tonight. I looked at Tyler Florence's recipe (which my friend made once) and kind of estimated for the amount of crab I had. They were good, not very stuck together, but great taste and hardly any filler. I fried some leftover mashed potatoes into potato cakes, sauteed some mushrooms that didn't fit in my shepherd's pie, and spread leftover roasted garlic on bread my friend made & brought. Voila! A delicious dinner for two created entirely from leftover ingredients. The best part was the drinks, which I made with both the halibut and the crab cakes. Also inspired by my favorite restaurant. Lavender citrus martini: Mix vanilla vodka with a bit of Cointreau, enough lemon juice to give it a little tartness, and lavender simple syrup (I like it kind of sweet). Delicious! Lavender simple syrup: Mix equal parts (by volume) sugar and water in saucepan. Add a few sprigs of lavender and boil till sugar dissolves. Cool in a jar in the fridge, leaving in the lavender. Use up within a day or two. Good in the martini, delicious over grapefruit, spectacular in lemonade. Dancinglemons, glad to see someone else in central VA. I wonder how many of us there are. I was thinking of organizing a berry-picking trip to Westmoreland Berry Farm on the Northern Neck. My kitchen isn't big enough to host a jam-making afterward, but we could have a canned goods pot luck picnic at the berry farm. Maybe I'll make a post in May when it's almost berry season.

Comments (39)Thanks everyone! Annie, I looked at Stanley's site and found many different sizes to choose from. Not sure about shipping outside the US though. Amazon.com won't do it and Amazon.ca only carries things that I don't care for. None of the retail/hardware stores listed on Stanley's homepage are available in Canada, but Wal-Mart. Of course, the Wal-Mart stores here in Canada are very different than the ones in the US. AM, I completely agree with you about the fact that Wal-Mart stores don't carry high quality stuff especially the ones in Canada. Anyway, after searching for an hour I finally found one local store: Home Hardware, that carries Stanley Thermal bottles. They are small, 1-L and 24 Oz are all they have. Maybe the 1-liter will work. Compare to what he eats right now (basically nothing), 1-liter of hot food will seem like a huge meal to him. Mara, I don't believe we have Chick-Fil-A in Canada, at least not in our city. Even if we did DH probably wouldn't bother to go look for Chick-Fil-A for a meal. A chocolate bar from the vending machine and a cup of coffee at the office lobby would be much easier to him. Jessica, I could never get angry with people who try to help me. I will consider the Bento box idea once the weather is less brutal. Definitely would try sushi because DH loves sushi. A salad is good too as long as the box has lot of compartment so the greens, protein, and dressing won't mix until he's ready to eat. Will off to Home Hardware next week to see if I can find the Stanley bottle. They have it listed on a national site doesn't always mean they have it in a certain store. Thanks again, everyone! I will continue to try. Al...See MoreChoosing crab...
Comments (20)I live in Annapolis. To my knowledge, none of Phillips crabmeat is Maryland crab - it is from overseas. They have closed the restaurant in Annapolis and I would avoid buying their seafood if you want authentic crab meat (like from the USA) . They used to be a family owned restaurant at the beach many years ago, where you stood in line for hours to get a table - back in the good old days! Below is a locally owned Seafood Market. Google Annapolis Seafood Market to look at their website. I have no business interest in them other than as a customer. If you really want fresh crab and you want to pay the shipping, I highly recommend them. This time of year the crabs are not from the Chesapeake Bay. I would never buy crab in a can / tin - pasteurized - changes the texture as well as the taste. Anytime you buy frozen crab meat - thaw it in the frig - container upside down. A tip from a friend who was a Maryland seafood distributor. from Annapolis Seafood Market "We ship seafood to anywhere in the United States Air Crab Flyer To place an order, please call: 1-866-862-CRAB (2722) or e-mail us at aircrab@annapolisseafoodmarket.com."...See MoreCrab cakes?
Comments (36)Here's the recipe I usually use, from a friend in Annapolis. It's pretty similar to some of the other recipes posted and is pretty light on the Old Bay. I'd like to try Marilyn's salmon cakes and just happen to have some fresh salmon right now, so maybe tomorrow will be the day. Delicious Crab Cakes 1 lb. crab meat (picked through) 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon mustard (regular) 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 eggs (slightly beaten) 1 teaspoon parsley 2 pieces white bread - no crusts (I pulse it in the food processor, but a blender would probably work, too) Mix all this together - toss in crab meat last and donÂt overmix. Gently form into individual patties and refrigerate for 1/2 hour prior to frying. Fry in approximately 1/4 inch oil (I use half butter and half oil) about 4 minutes each side (or until nicely browned)....See MoreSherry8aNorthAL
