The "Your Choices are 'A' or 'C'" Story
It was an ordinary day. Getting ready to have supper. Last week at the grocery store we bought a box of crab cakes. Carol told me I wouldn't be happy with them, but after seeing the photo on the front of the package, I thought I might like them. Ever since we found Woody's Crab House in Northeast, Maryland we have not found a better crab cake. Woody's crab cakes are fantastic. Totally all crab meat and no fillers. Their crab bisque is also one of the best we have ever tasted. Creamy with plenty of crab meat in it. Well, the photo on the package of crab cakes showed really good looking crab cakes. They had to be good. Not! Half filler and very little taste to them. I know, she told me! But, that doesn't really matter because my story isn't about the crab cakes, but about what to have with them. We usually have sweet potato fries from Costco along with either applesauce or cranberry sauce. Now, I could eat, and usually do, applesauce with every meal. We, no make that me, go through a large jar a week. But, sometimes I do like cranberry sauce. Has to be Ocean Spray jelliedcranberry sauce. The kind you have for major meals such as Thanksgiving and probably Christmas. At our house we not only have it for those holidays, but also once or twice a month; along with the applesauce. I like to cut the top off the can, carefully run a very small knife around the inside edge of the can to release the vacuum and dump it onto a dish. Has to have ridges around it to make it good. You know, the ridges from the tin can. That way you know it is Ocean Spray. It's like a log of happiness in our house. Slice it into 1/2" pieces and your ready to go. On Thanksgiving Day the cranberry sauce is just as important as the turkey and pumpkin pie. At least to me; even with the applesauce. It's like getting 2 servings of fruit. So, what would be your choice with the crab cakes? The 'A' or the 'C'. And one final question for you; how does the cranberry sauce keep those ridges in it after you take it out of the can? It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
