Is it Christmas yet?

Here in our kitchen , it is all about crab cakes and steak and pasta. Let us know if you have company coming and you need a special dinner. We bought cases of crab meat so we are makin' cakes like crazy. Four orders are being made now by customers in the front. (I am hiding in the back office)And we are selling off the over stock of shrimp. (The fish monger sent a double order and we have limited freezer space). Lots of folks think $12 a bag for 2 pounds of raw clean, no tail shrimp a good deal. Shrimp cocktail for everyone!

This is hectic around town too..with everyone trying to finish last minute shopping. I tried to drive thru the village of Maplewood yesterday. It was so packed! I just have two more gifts and I am done.

Are you thinking of New Years Resolutions? My very first one is that I am making fresh hummus for all our parties. Today's batch is irresistible.

Happy Christmas to all
