I have never used crackers for that kind of dish before. I would have
thought low carb bread would have held the cakes together better but as
I have never tried it, I don't know.

The last time I made crab cakes I used matzo meal as the binding agent
and the rest of the recipe was very similar to Susan's.
The critical issue is the TIME to allow the mixture to set. Just as
when you make matzo ball soup, you have to allow the mixture for the
matzo balls to stand for at least a half an hour in the fridge, so it
soaks up the egg and becomes a bit more firm.
You don't need much matzo meal or cracker meal. Everyone knows what
they can handle and what they can't. Low carb bread may not have the
absorbtive qualities of the cracker meal.
Crab cakes CAN be tricky. I like them VERY crabby and less bready.
If you eat them out in a restaurant, they are usually more bready than
crabby. After all, what is cheaper? Crab meat is expensive and
fillers are not, but it is the fillers that make them hold together.
Only if you make them at home can you control the ratio and as I said,
it can be tricky. Letting the mixture set for a while is a very good
idea.

That's what I use them for mostly too. I never seem to be able to make a
small pot of soup ;) I tend to start off putting stuff in a slow cooker
then realise I still have a lot of veggies and some liquid to go in and
have to tip it all into a stockpot.

I use my big stockpot to cook lobsters on the rare occasion that I

Back in the day, Legal Sea Food used to be primarily a fish market. It
was where Julia Child bought the fish she used while filming her TV show
in Boston. The restaurant was just a side business at the time.

This just strikes me as funny. I am sure it worked well, but the contrast
of Matzo meal with drab is just so incongruous:-)

Yup, and in California, too. very tiny trace amounts, as woudl be
expected with the winds coming accross the Pacific from japan. This was
talked about on TV soon after the problems in the Japanese reactor
started. it was only a question of time. They don't expect any serious
amounts in the air or milk in the aUS West coast. it, prooabaly wil get
to the Est Coast in smaller amounts in a few more weeks.

Here we have trucks that come around and pick stuff up. There are two. One
allows me to put the stuff by the garage. I use that one. You have to put
the stuff out at the street for the other one. Last time I did that, people
stole stuff out of the boxes. For instance, one of each shoe. So what was
left was useless.

There is a local charity around here called "people's place" and I

death when i cleaned out all my linens and gave them all the old

Then there is the local firehouse ladies auxiliary, and there is a
yearly yard sale to benefit them. I could tell you amazing stories
about the fabulous goodies I have found at yard sales, and of course
if I found something better than what I had, I would put the old stuff
aside and use the "new" ones. So yes, I do have a lot of stuff to

When I had a yard sale once, there was a dealer who came by, saw my
frying pan set which my husband had inadvertantly brought outside. He
came back three times hoping I would sell them. No way. They are
not for sale. My daughter who has an induction stove will get them
first. Induction MUST have ferrous metal frying pans. I already
gave her half the set and I have the other half. I am not going to
give them away, believe me, and I am half an antiques buff myself, so
I do know values pretty well. Thanks anyway :-)
Only thing is that I cannot use them myself anymore. Having broken my
shoulder a few years ago I can't lift them readily any longer.
