[lace-chat] crab cakes
Hello everyone This is prompted by a remark in Devon's article in the IOLI bulletin about crabcakes (no the bulletin wasn't about crabcakes, the remark was... ~)- what are they? what makes a good one? I hear about them as restaurant fare, do people make them at home? Is this a regional east coast dish? -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) who knows about *fish cakes* but they are more a leftover dish, than a menu item for dining out To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] crab cakes
Hi Bev, I'll jump in on this one.One of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay specialities is blue crabseasoned with a local paprika-based herb concoction called Old Bay Seasoning. They are steamed and then some people like to eat them one by one picking the meat right out of the shell. The best crab cakes use very little binder or filler and use the jumbo lump portion of the crab, but any part of the meat may be used and they are formed into a ball or patty and broiled or pan-fried. It is considered a local delicacy and on restaurant menus, the price is rarely indicatedit will say Market price, meaning the price varies according to the going price of crab meat that day, rather like foreign exchange rates g. The price is quite often higher than for filet mignon or other steaks! An even bigger specialty is soft-shell crab, which is a crab that has just shed its hard shell and is deep fried and you then eat the whole thingwhich looks a bit like a very large spider!

Thanks Lynn for your thoughts. Pity your President didn't offer any (has he got his speech writer with him?). After Tony Bair's second speech from the G8 talks abouth the incident, George Bush spoke to the media. Not a word of sympathy or thoughts of any kind for those involved. Just a statement that he'd contacted those responsible for homeland security to make sure that the US was well protected. I've been watching developments for most of the day, and as far as I know (not surprisingly) his speech wasn't broadcast again. My older brother and his son were both in London today. Fortunately they were both on the underground ahead of the bombs. Don't know if either of them have got to their homes yet, but I know they're safe. There were emergency sirens for a good part of the day in Poole. As usually happens when there's an incident, there were alerts at other train stations, and Poole was one of three or four in the south with direct routes to London where suspicious packages were found. Turned out to be harmless. Having lived with terrorism (mostly from the IRA) for many years, we tend to take this kind of thing in our stride. In the 70s, I worked in London, where bomb threats happened regularly. We used to take an evacuation as an excuse for a couple of hours shopping, with the attitude that if we got caught in a blast, that was our destiny.

RE: [lace-chat] London
Jean, I know that the thoughts and prayers of the American people are with all of you in Great Britain, most especially for those who were caught on the trains or the bus, and their families, as well as for those who are anxiously awaiting news of loved ones. And of course all of us on this list are wondering how Arachne Londoners are faring. I am pretty sure that I did hear President Bush, as well as some officials of his administration, offer condolences. I dislike the man intensely and think he is thoroughly wrong headed, but I think that your impression might just be the chance of which parts of his remarks were broadcast. I hope so. Can anyone confirm my impression? Best wishes, Carolyn Carolyn W.

Hi Everyone, I too would like to convey my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to those whose lives have been affected by this terrible act of terrorism in London. It is so tragic that we are living in this kind of world today where hatred can stem from religion and politics and bring about such merciless attacks on innocent people, when the opposite effect ought to be achieved. We have just had President Bush in Denmark on a 16 hour visit and we have never seen such security before. Doesn't he get paid enough danger money for his job? The risk of being killed is surely part of the job just like the job of the soldiers that he sends out to war. I cannot even begin to imagine the cost of the security for this one little 16 hour visit and then the same circus started all over again when he arrived in Scotland from Denmark. Maybe the security system would be better employed protecting the people! This visit to little old Denmark left everyone dumfounded. The airport had big delays both days because it and the airspace around Copenhagen was completely closed for an hour before he arrived and left again in his 2 presidential planes and goodness knows how many helicopters. The motorways were closed for an hour before he drove on them. The Queen's summer residence, Fredensborg, (means peace palace, ironically!), where he spent the night was sealed off for 3 days with enormous barricade lorries, barbed wire, police and secret service agents and gunmen were on the roof of the palace. The people who live along the avenue leading up to the palace couldn't have there door open for 3 days nor drive their car in and out. He only made one very brief public appearance for a short press conference. His visit caused immense upheaval and didn't do very much for his reputation here in Denmark where we have a very relaxed and free lifestyle. I just hope that it stays that way but according to the statement made by the culprits of today's vicious attack, Denmark is now threatened to be a target. Best wishes and keep bobbin' along from a lacemaker who has great difficulty understanding this world we live in.

[lace-chat] London Bombing
Heartfelt condolances from here in Australia, too, who have woken up to the terrible news. I can still remember vividly the night Sydney was awarded the Olympic Games - my son and many others went to the top of a nearby high arch bridge looking down the harbour, and he said there was such a feeling of high spirits and pride among the crowd. To have such a cowardly attack within 24 hours of your news must be so much the more devastating. What is this world of ours coming to. Don't we learn anything from history?

Can anyone confirm my impression? The chance of which parts is probably right. Or, to be precise, which remarks... The NYTimes (on-line edition, updated every hour or so - I don't listen to the radio, I don't watch TV, and I didn't feel like waiting till tomorrow) has been concentrating mostly on his *first* response, which is probably what *Jean* has heard: In Gleneagles, Mr. Bush drew the comparison between the aims of the summit and the bombers. On the one hand, you have people working to alleviate poverty and rid the world of the pandemic of AIDS and ways to have a clean environment and, on the other hand, you have people working to kill people, he said. The contrast couldn't be clearer between the intentions and the hearts of those who care deeply about human rights and human liberty, and those who kill, those who've got such evil in their hearts that they will take the lives of innocent folks. Mr. Bush said. The war on terror goes on. The man never could think on his feet (if he can think at all, which I sometimes doubt), but he is still capable of learning. He was accused - at the time of 9/11 - of not reacting quickly enough to the magnitude of the disaster to US. So, this time, he put the US security forefront, to avoid a second such accusation. He is also tenacious, and once he *has* learnt his lines and likes them, he uses them over and over (that's what makes me wonder if he is capable of thinking for himself) - he applied them here not because they were appropriate, but because he had memorised them (possibly for use on another occasion. Perhaps a bombing in Baghdad; those are happening there daily) Doubtless, someone in his staff - or even one of the other 6 heads left at the Gleneagle - nudged him towards the idea that it might be proper to offer condolences and express shock, before pushing his learnt-by-rote agenda... So, properly primed, he was properly shocked, and that's probably what *Carolyn* has heard. I'm sure that, tomorrow morning, all we'll hear is how he's all compassion.
