Crab Cakes

I made these crab cakes for David’s celebratory dinner. I went to the market without an idea of what I was going to cook. The near by market had cans of crab on sale for $7. I thought that was a little expensive but what they hey, I associated the price with quality. I sautéed onions and garlic. I toasted some old Hawaiian sweet bread in the over and made bread crumbs. I mixed up the bread crumbs with the onions and half a can of shrimp, the crab, parmesan cheese and some eggs. Dipped the cakes in the remaining bread crumbs and pan fried them up with some butter and oil. I served them on top some sautéed fresh spinach and asparagus.

I also cooked up some artichokes and ate them plainly with mayo and ketchup mixture. I LOVE artichokes. I can eat them plain and steamed.
