Desert crab

It's a beautiful morning, with a brisk, almost chilly wind blowing at sunrise.  Las Vegas will only be in the mid-80's this weekend.  Seattle might actually hit 80 tomorrow, when people start complaining about the obsessive heat. Down here, they are pulling out the jackets.

I've never made crab cakes quite like this. I just followed the recipe on the can, with a few additions like green onion and parsley.

They turned out quite tasty, especially with spicy Thai sweet chili sauce on top...

And, vegetable fried rice to round out our dinner.  Sadly, all nice visits come to an end, and I fly back to Seattle this afternoon.  I love a cooking challenge and told Dad to start thinking about the next time!
