Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It was a fish day for me too. Smoked salmon for lunch and mahi-mahi for dinner.

I'm probably doing the Jack Frost Time Trial next month. It'll be my first one since 2013, when I did one on my Free Spirit fixie.

Fish here, too. Crab cakes of dubious quality.

Actually I think that says, "I'm secure in HER sexuality."

Most blue crab commercially supplied in the US comes from the Gulf of Mexico. Old Bay Seasoning is sold everywhere. Maryland-style crab cakes are universal around the US.

@BillyD deserves three thumbs up!

Just got back from meetings, no riding since Sunday. Going through withdrawals. Hoping to get out tonight.

Egad, I hate Orlando traffic. And I thought Tampa traffic was bad.

Just because everyone can get the ingredients, doesn't mean that everyone does it right.

That's true...of folks in Maryland as well as everywhere else. Just like gumbo, everyone's crab cake recipe is different, in Maryland as well as elsewhere. So there is no one, right recipe. As mobile as chefs are these days, it would be silly to think crab cakes can't be made well anywhere the right crab can be purchased. As a Marylander I wouldn't be offended by the notion that "Maryland" crab cakes can be as good in Houston as in Baltimore. I would take it as a compliment. The greatness of the dish has led to its universal adoption. If it were true that you could only get good crab cakes in Maryland, how many of us would even know about them?

Now Buffalo wings...that is another topic altogether.

We were at a restaurant in Florida a few weeks ago and the server was adamant that we not order the crab cakes. She said she's from Maryland, so she knows good crab cakes.

It would also be silly to think that the probability of getting good crab cakes is the same anywhere. Look at any act of human creation - art, science, cuisine, etc - where there's clustering of like-minded individuals, there's a surge in excellence.

Also, you're doing it again.
