Hey JD & Mrs. Their Just Due, How about sharing your chili & crab dip recipies? (please?) :)

A wonderful party Libertina! A day, I know, we won't soon forget. Thank you so much for hosting it.

Mrs. Theirjustdue is fast asleep (our having spent the day taking our four grandsons to the Ballard locks, but I'll do my best to pass her crab salad recipe on to the chapter.

Mrs Theirjustdue's crab salad:

Approx. 4 cups cracked Dungeness Crab

Chopped Celery to taste

Chopped Sweet Wala Wala onion to taste

Now here's the secret:

Just enough cubed white bread, trimmed of crust, and buttered on both sides to absorb the moisture and give it added bulk (We're lucky and get the crab, literally, from our doorstep, here on Camano Island, but if it had to be purchased, the ratio of crab to cubed bread could be adjusted without any noticeable loss in taste or quality).

A generous amount of Mayonnaise (to taste).

Mix well by hand and let stand overnight in refrigerator.

Serve over a bed of lettuce and/or garnish with with parsley, chopped green onion chive and sprinkle lightly with paprika.

Note: Four cups of crab made enough to fill the large foil container we brought to the party, so unless it's a comparably sized crowd, much, much less crab will due.

BTW, Our daughter and her two son's had a blast and she assures me she will register and no longer be a lurker.

WOW!!! What an event. Such beautiful happy faces. It's truly an honor and privilege to be associated with such a generous wonderful group of American patriots.

I get to go home in the afternoon Tuesday, charged up and good for another 3,000 miles. I can't wait. This place will make you sick. The meals are so bad, I started asking for an IV instead of the food tray.

Did Clemenza's leek quiche taste good? No wonder he finds Seattle homey. Real North westerners don't eat quiche. (Just kidding, I'm going to make it sometime myself since the recipe was posted), after what I've been getting for the past 4 days an unwashed raw leek sounds pretty darn good.

I've made my physician promise to reschedule any future procedures if they interfere with FReeper activities. This is twice now, he's messed with a Freeper event. I still haven't gotten to meet CarryOkie face to face. No More. I'm beginning to think he may be a member of DU. LOL

Thanks for thinking about me and the wife this past weekend. Wonder what I'll manage to do for our 28th anniversary? It'll be kinda hard to top this one...NOT. LOL!

Talk to you soon, thanks for the ping.
