I went to the store for the second time and forgot to buy more French's fried onions, so it's "savory" green beans and the usual roasted chicken.  The green beans are sauteed in butter, onion, garlic, and salt, and simmered in chicken stock with a little bit of lemon juice.

Crab cakes and pasta salad.

Quote
1 lb fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, shells removed
1 T Worchestershire sauce
1/2 t Tabasco
1 t zest of lemon
1/2 C mayonaise
1/2 t white pepper
1 T creole mustard
1 egg
1/2 C red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 C green bell pepper, finely diced
1 T capers, finely diced
1 1/2 C saltine crackers, crushed

In a bowl, place all ingredients.  Toss gently to prevent crab from breaking into small pieces. The bigger the crab lumps remain, the better.  Always keep ingredients cold as crab will spoil easily.

Form cakes into desired shape and size. Typically not larger than 3-4 ounces each.
Using extra virgin olive oil butter in a sauté skillet, pan sauté on medium-high heat until golden brown.

The crab cakes sound great...where's the recipe for the pasta salad?

I don't know, I picked it up from Publix. :(

The recipe is supposed to be from Amerigo, a regional Italian restaurant that serves Tuscan-style food (very light, no heavy red sauces here).  They're served with a white bean salsa and lemon basil butter sauce.  The sauce is really good.

I found a great pasta salad at Kroger.  They call it a 'tomato salad'.  It's pasta salad with cherry tomatoes and bacon... very tasty, but they don't serve it all the time.

I don't think I've ever bought canned crab meat.  I guess there is lump and non-lump, but it doesn't actually say that on the label.  The non-lump meat is shredded with no large pieces at all.  I should have done my homework -- stick with lump meat.  The canned crab meat was to fill out the fresh-frozen whole crab I picked up.

I removed the last line about coating them in crackers.  Completely unnecessary.  They are better without the breaded coating.

Also, skip the olive oil and use butter.  You'll be happier.

Another night of crab cakes.  Delicious.

The Old Bay adds a little more flavor.

I made meatloaf, partly to taunt the DUmmies, but mostly because it's cold out and I like meatloaf when it's cold. Also made mashed potatoes, beef gravy, and crusty bread. I had leftover pecan pie and coffee for dessert.

It's too cold and windy to sit out with a cigar, so I'm having a bourbon in front of the fire.

Just had hashbrowns, a rare steak and now I'm relaxing with some hot chocolate and a small plate of cranberry biscotti.

Picked up some lamb shoulder from Publix.  It's always good stuff.  I just wish it was as cheap here as it is overseas.

Publix has lamb shoulder chops on sale again ($6.99/lb), but I still have another ribeye in the refrigerator.

The local Publix stocks jars from the Nashville Jam Company.  I picked up a peach habanero jam and some chicken wings and I'm going to try mixing them together.

I'm cooking another pot roast...my 2nd, but I'm an old hand with this now.
My first roast was a mere pound. this one is 3 1/2 pounds. I will have left overs!

I got a jar of "Better than Bullion." Didn't use it. its black, slimy, and looks like oily residue from a garage. Didn't smell like beef broth either. Yech.

Verdict: peach habanero jam makes pretty good wings.

I hate frying stuff indoors, so I'm baking the rest of my wings.

The NJS has a spicier jam, a 3-pepper and a 6-pepper jam they recommended for wings.  I went with the 3-pepper.

I grilled a porterhouse steak last night on my George Foreman.
For Brunch I grilled lamb chops. YUM!

Cheesy potato soup with bacon crumbled on top. My wife told me not to fry too much of the bacon. I said there's no such thing as too much bacon.

Cheese ravioli and spicy meatballs (pork and venison) with homemade red sauce. Italian bread with garlic butter, pepperoni, and toasted mozzerella on top, great for dipping in the sauce. Red wine.
