Crab cakes

The other day I was hungry but didn't have much time, so I whipped up some crab rice cakes. Wait! Crab rice cakes? I thought they were difficult. It turns out they are easy as pie (which is a deceptive saying, if I ever heard one). All you do is get a can of crab, a cup of cooked rice, a beaten egg, and about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. Mix it all together and form into 4 cakes (in your hands), squeezing out the excess liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter on med-low heat in a skillet. Cook the cakes about 5 minutes on each side. Yummy! Now here's what I would do differently next time: Add some yummy spices, like pepper, a little garlic and perhaps some cumin. Then maybe dip in marinara sauce.

Here's a pic of my crab cakes:

Here's another shameless gloating mountain picture. The moon was just rising and the picture really doesn't capture it's SIZE as it came over the Sandias. It took my breath away. In sad news, I am horribly sick and the large roll of TP is now my constant, loving companion. To make it worse, last night, Lucky was really hyper while I was trying to sleep. He had about a hundred different needs and he definitely let me know. It makes me wary about the prospect of parenthood. Not that that's a real prospect any time soon. I should just stick to crab cakes.
