Finally, something to blog about

Finally, something to blog about...unfortunately it's not a happy thing. Well, I went down to the basement freezer today and discovered there was only one carton left of Trader Joe's mango sorbet. In case you're not familiar with this product, it was just introduced this year, and it is the most fantastic, flavorful, and fragrant mango sorbet you've probably ever had (or didn't). It is beyond delicious! That being said, okay, so I figure I'll stop by TJ's and pick up a few cartons to stash in the freezer. But, I decided to call the store first, since they've been known to be out of this product on several occasions in the past. Much to my dismay, I found they were out of it. Not only that, it gets worse, much worse...It won't be in again til at least February of next year! Aacckkk!! How can they do that? First they get us addicted to it. And then they stop supplying us.

Soooooo, I guess I will either have to put up with some other (substandard) brand or flavor (well, I do like Haggen-Daaz's raspberry), or I'll have to make my own. I'll keep you posted on that.

Today's recipe

So for dinner tonight, I found a good buy on some lump crab meat, so I'm making some crab cakes. Only 3 points each. Will have to see if I can get by with eating just two. Okay here's the recipe:

Crab Cakes

1 lb crab meat
2 egg whites
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1 Tbsp light mayo
1 Tbsp whipped cream cheese
1 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp mustard
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Combine all ingredients except crab meat. Gently fold in crab meat. Shape into cakes. Pan fry.
Makes 6 crab cakes.
