Crab cream sauce recipe
This is one of my favorite recipes. The sauce is simple but amazing - far more than the sum of its parts.
4 - 5 oz lump crab meat
1/4 stick Danish butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 heaping tablespoon chili garlic sauce [Asian style]
1/4 cup whiskey or bourbon [I used Clynelish single malt scotch]
10 oz heavy cream
4 tablespoons tomato sauce
Saute shallots in butter until clear. Add the crab meat and liquor, then ignite to burn off the alcohol. Add remaining ingredients and then reduce until you have a thick sauce, stirring frequently. Once you reach the desired consistency, sample and add salt to taste. It won't taste like much until you have the salt mixed in. But once you've added the right amount of that, magic happens.
Serve over seafood ravioli, accompanied by a nice chardonnay.

Yep
If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.

True
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

Lots of posts today...
The entire metro Atlanta area got blasted with snow last night into this morning, then a nice layer of sleet on top of that. Schools and businesses are closed, the roads are covered with snow and ice, and the vast majority of people are staying at home. Boring, but that is why there are so many posts to the blog today.
