Crab cakes and a field greens salad with a champagne vinegar dressing, all homemade.  And a nice Sauvignon Blanc.

When you have the time, will you put your crab cake recipe (method) in the Recipe Box please?  And which SB? 

I posted over in the Recipe Box, and the SB I am drinking is Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough (2004) from New Zealand.

Of course!  That's why it's so good, NZ SB.  We have terrific SB's in Western Australia too, sourced from Margaret River region, south of Perth.  However, most of the wineries are boutique and we don't see the labels in the US.

Value for money:  Try Jacob's Creek Semillon Sauvignon Blanc from Barossa Valley South Australia.  You can get it easily in the US and it is priced lower than we get it here.  Last I heard, it was still under US$5 per bottle...a very good drop.

Yeah, Jacob's Creek is always good, especially for the value.  I had a really good Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon the other day from Stonehaven, found it for $5.99 US.

Extremely hard to beat the South Australian reds, especially if you like the fruit-forward style.  The pricing story is interesting.  Because of NAFTA, Aussie wines are sold to the US through Canadian companies (fronts) thus avoiding tariffs which had killed Australian wine pricing in the US in the past.

I went to a little restaurant in my little town that I had never been to before. I ordered a BLT and french fries shaped like potato chips. The BLT was not very good, and the french fries were unsalted. My guests had persuaded me to order the fries, which came in a soup bowl as if ketchup was meant to be poured over them. Instead, I dumped the fries on my plate, poured salt in the bowl, then dipped each fry in my water before dunking it in the salt, rolling it around, then eating it. They were very good this way.

I'm intrigued by these "guests" of yours and their powers of persuasion.  Are you being recruited by a cult?
