Joey,<br />
Good suggestion to cook matzo balls in chicken broth. I will try it.<br />
<br />
Big day tomorrow watching the Cowboy/Giant game. Our daughter is coming over and I&#39;m preparing crab cakes to eat while we cheer for the &#39;boys. Just finished making creme brulee for tomorrow&#39;s dessert.<br />
<br />
Here&#39;s the recipe I will use and a picture of what I hope it will look like.<br />

Fleming&#39;s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar&#39;s Crab Cakes With Roasted Red Pepper Puree<br />
<br />
Yield: 10 crab cakes.<br />
<br />
3/4 cup mayonnaise<br />
<br />
2 eggs<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon Creole mustard<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning<br />
<br />
Pinch each salt and black pepper<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley<br />
<br />
2 teaspoons lemon juice<br />
<br />
4 tablespoons cracker meal<br />
<br />
1 pound jumbo fresh or pasteurized crab meat<br />
<br />
2 teaspoons olive oil<br />
<br />
Roasted red pepper sauce:<br />
<br />
3/4 cup each: roasted red pepper puree and white wine<br />
<br />
1 ounce olive oil<br />
<br />
3 tablespoons each, minced: shallots and garlic<br />
<br />
2 bay leaves<br />
<br />
1/4 cup fresh lime juice<br />
<br />
11/2 cups heavy cream<br />
<br />
1 pound lightly salted butter, cut into pieces<br />
<br />
1/4 teaspoon white pepper<br />
<br />
Chopped red bell pepper for garnish<br />
<br />
1. For sauce, in pan over medium-high heat, warm olive oil. When hot, add shallots, garlic and bay leaves; saute 3-4 minutes. Add half of the pepper puree; cook 2-3 minutes. Deglaze pan with wine and lime juice. Cook 2 minutes more. Add cream and let cook until reduced in volume by half. Add butter pieces one at a time until all is incorporated. Add white pepper and strain sauce. Add remaining pepper puree. Keep warm until crab cakes are ready to be served.<br />
<br />
2. For the crab cakes, heat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, Old Bay, salt, pepper, parsley, lemon juice and cracker meal. Add crab meat, gently folding ingredients with your hands. Be careful not to break up the larger pieces of crab. Portion into 10 cakes. Spread olive oil on rimmed baking pan. Place in hot oven for 2 minutes to heat the pan. Place crab cakes on hot pan. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.<br />
<br />
3. Spoon sauce onto warm plates. Top with crab cakes. Garnish with chopped bell pepper.<br />

 I have to follow Joey&#39;s lead and prepare a tantalizing menu. <br />
<br />
Hope you all have a great day.<br />
