THE OLD COUNTRY BOY

Muffin-Tin Crab Cakes

Take the frying and fuss out of crab cakes by shaping and baking them in muffin tins. For the best taste, look for
pasteurized crabmeat in the refrigerator case at your market's fish counter, a better choice than canned varieties.
Make It a Meal: Try these cakes with some tangy tartar sauce and coleslaw.

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or serve cold.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1 pound crabmeat
2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tip)
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
3 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
10 dashes hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6 lemon wedges for garnish

Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until a coarse crumb forms. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup crumbs.






DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Generously coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.


Mix crab, breadcrumbs, bell pepper, scallions, mayonnaise, eggs, egg white, hot sauce, celery salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups. Bake until crispy and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

SUNDAY - LOTSA' TIME TO KILL

Just got back from 3 hours of CHURCH. Good lessons in SUNDAY SCHOOL meeting on "How to treat your wife like a QUEEN". I do that all the time.

Wilma comes home from work & I usually arrive home from the GOLF COURSE about the same time. I ask her "what's for dinner?" She says, "I want to eat out". I says, "can't be spending all that money on frivolous things".."I need a new set of Calloway golf clubs".

So she starts dinner - I say "Nothing fancy, leftover FILET MIGNON, TWICE BAKED POTATO, ASPARAGUS TIPS with HOLLADAIS SAUCE will do nicely. Bye the way, do we have any Apple Pie left"?

After dinner I try to help her with dishes by reminding her that they won't wash themselves. She claims she's tired. "Take your time, as long as you've got them done before I go to bed. The dishwasher might keep me awake".

This goes on & on, her complaining about working all day then having to put in another 4 or 5 hours around the house. I remind her that when she was younger she was abble to put in a 15 - 16 hour day's work without complaining.I tell her "I'd help you, but the JAZZ are playing the HEAT tonight and you know I can't miss the game".

I wake up in the DIXIE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER with 2 broken legs, multiple contusions & various other ailments. The Dr.s say they'll send me home in a couple of weeks, but I can't do any work around the house for at least 2 months. There goes my opportunity to treat Wilma like a Queen.

I'LL TRY IT AGAIN NOW THAT MY LAST POST WAS SUCCESSFULL

It has been over a year (Sept 9, 2009) since my last POST so I wasn't quite sre how to save & publih my post. I think I've got it now swo I'll chance it once again.

Yesterday LARRY HANSON & his extremly brilliant GRANDSON GARETH (takes after his GRAMPA) came by to record a few of THE OLD COUNTRY BOY'S experiences. For some reason, LARRY thinks some of my life history is worth recording.

GARETH is 12 years old, a 1st CLASS SCOUT, working toward his Eagle Award. His many interests includes SPACE, ENGINEERING, GEOLOGY, READING & many more. An extremly smart & interesting young man, takes after his GRAMPA. His GRAMPA is a retired PHSCHOLOGY PROFESSOR from New HAMPSHIRE. A former BISHOP,a former PROFESSOR at BYU
(7 years) & 17 years as head of the PHSCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT at a University (I can't remember which one) in NEW HAMPSHIRE. A very smart individual & for some reason he has taken a liking to me & likes to listen to my lies.

Anyway, I spent a couple of hours recounting my experiences in the Air Force (4 Years), 10 years in Aerospace & 4 years at the University of Utah, while LARRY recorded them. They seemed to be interested in my 10 years in the SPACE PROGRAM more than anything else.

GARETH asked several incteful question about the SPACE VEHICLES, ASRONAUTS, etc. Made me feel like my life had not been a total waste after all.

WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT ! ! !
