After eating too much heavy pan-fried crab cakes, I conked out about 7pm due to the fact I was up at all hours calming a blazing Edie. The day was mostly spent in the kitchen and running about with Edles, not a bad way to wile away the hours.
TODAY'S COOKING:
Pumpernickel Bread: Cooked up this recipe in the bread machine. This is strong bread. Manly bread. Bread that says, "Shut up, sit down!" Pretty good. Big flavor. Makes me want to skip the machine and make the ultimate pumpernickel bagel.
Crab Cakes: No recipe, just winged it. 4 eggs beaten with 2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning, a container of lump crab meat, half a container of whole wheat panko, a few tablespoons of whole wheat flour, a teaspoon of brown sugar, mixed and left to sit in the fridge for a few hours. Pan fried in bacon fat brought home from the resto, in caste iron. Came out close to what I imagined, the salty celery garlicky aioli was a perfect counterpoint, joined nicely with the manly bread.
BREAKFAST: 10am, toasted bagel with cream cheese
LUNCH 1: 12:30pm, health salad, 2 pickles, potato chips, 2 tofutti cuties, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH 2: 4pm, crab cakes with aioli and pumpernickel, seltzer, flourless chocolate cake with vanilla whipped cream, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Chocolate cake was kinda ridiculously rich, as close to eating straight butter & chocolate as you can get.
