Seafood Salad

I love this salad. It's easy, quick, and healthy, despite the mayo. I used the mayo that's made with olive oil, a good fat that we need. As for the crab meat, I use the imitation kind because it's cheaper. I'm sure the real thing would be better, but if made in the proportion below can serve as a nice addition to any appetizer table and server about 10.

Ingredients:
2 packets of Imitation crab meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 packets of tiny shrimp
6 scallions, finely cut
4-6 TBSP of mayo, just enough to coat everything, but not to drown it.
2 hard boiled eggs, grated

Steps:
1. Mix everything in a bowl
2. Serve

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, in large part because I love all the cooking. Most people dread all the cooking, but I even take Wednesday off so I can make a few “spares”, just in case something doesn’t turn out and people still leave with overstuffed bellies. I still love the holiday, despite the mandatory family squabbling. But without further delay, here is the menu I’m planning (and yes, I take help where I can):

Appetizers:

• Chicken wings (not a Thanksgiving staple, but I love them and they seem to go over pretty well with the family).
• Seafood puffs (puff pastry stuffed with seafood, store bought, and I hope they’re good).
• Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Pizza Bites
• Smoked Salmon wrapped Baked Asparagus
• Baked Asparagus with Cheese
• Shrimp with sauce

Salads:

• Seafood salad
• Egg salad and mushroom

Main Course:

• Turkey (DUH!)
• Baked potatoes (my family is averse to mashed potatoes with skins and I am averse to pealing potatoes)
• Stuffing (of the StoveTop variety. My family will accept no other.)

Dessert:

• I bought two pies at Sweet Pies of Door County and we’ll have that. They’re yummy, try one.
• I also bought a Russian-style dessert called Zephyr in Chocolate. I’m not exactly sure what’s in it, but it seems a marshmallow-type substance covered in dark chocolate.
