With today’s New York Times talking about the low price of lobsters we decided instead of crab cakes for the holidays, why not lobster cakes! The recipe is the same, and directly from one of our Maryland coast listeners. (Just substitute lobster)
3 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1-pound fresh crabmeat- lump or back fin
8 saltines crackers crushed
Butter & olive oil for sautéing
Pick over the meat, removing any cartilage or shells
Mix together crabmeat, crushed saltines, light mayonnaise, and mustard.
Form into six to eight crab cakes
Chill crab cakes for 1 –2 hours- in the refrigerator to make them firm so they don't fall apart
In a large pan, sauté the cakes in butter and olive oil until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the senate judiciary committee and basically shrugged when asked if any other enemy combatant captured overseas had ever been brought to civilian criminal court to face justice. Talk about an incompetent boob, not to mention a disgrace.
