My cousin Sherry

Second night Karen made the best crab cakes I've ever had. No breadcrumbs and 100 times better than restaurant attempts (I got the recipe, of course).

My cousin Sherry joined. I haven't seen her for ages either and really enjoyed catching up. I didn't get the chance to meet her and get to know her until after I was living in the States (meaning, not until my mid-20s). Growing up in Japan, I missed hanging out with my dad's side of the family, and totally appreciate being able to reconnect now. I am very grateful that everyone is so warm and loving...AND fun and cool ;)

Wow, those look great. Does she use panko or nothing additional at all? Jenn and I discovered panko a couple years ago, and have started substituting it in any recipes that call for bread crumbs.

Hey Paul,

No, no breadcrumbs or panko whatsoever. Just tons of real crab, a bit of mayo, capers, herbs, eggs. I can send you the ingredients.

But I agree, panko is much better than American breadcrumbs. Especially if you fry stuff up, it's much tastier with texture. I promise to make coroquettes (with potato, salmon, and herbs) when you visit ;)
