Asparagus Crab Soup (Sup Mang Tay Cua)
The soup is easy to make and is essentially an egg drop soup with asparagus and crab. Hungry Bear and I don’t like our asparagus mushy and brown, so I only cooked it for a few minutes. The soup turned out great and tasted like my mom’s, which made me and my tummy very happy!

Shrimp, Fava Bean and Zucchini Pasta
Despite all the peeling required with the fava beans (some you know I hate peeling things), the pasta was great. It’s a simple dish that really highlights the fresh fava beans. To put it over the top, add a poached egg to each serving!

Asparagus Crab Pasta with Leeks and Mushrooms
I added the juice and zest of a lemon to the pasta. Even with the canned crab claw meat, the pasta was really good. It had great flavors from the leeks and asparagus. The lemon juice and zest brightened up the pasta.

Stir-Fried Garlic Crab
On Sunday, Jane picked up crabs at Mission Market Fish & Poultry, where they quartered and removed the gills for her. The crabs were a reasonable $3.99 a pound. With the dismantled crab, Garry made stir-fried garlic crab. It’s a really simple recipe with a lot of garlic… think garlic fries. We used three heads…

Oysters and Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs
The frankfurters were stuffed with mustard, ketchup, cheese, onions and sauerkraut, then wrapped with bacon! I usually don’t like sauerkraut on my dogs, but I didn’t mind it this time. Who’s not going to like a bacon-wrapped hot dog on a toasted bun?!?
