Our New Summer Release Is Out

The Chesapeake Bay Edition

Ahhhhh...Summer has arrived! For us Baltimoreans that means it's time to break out the Old Bay, pop a nice cold one, and enjoy the sunshine with friends and family...hon. It's with this wonderful mental image in mind that we were inspired to create our latest edition. For centuries, the Chesapeake Bay has been the center of commerce and culture for those in this watershed region. Our favorite part of the Chesapeake is the bounty of beautiful tasty crustaceans known as the blue crab. The cuisine of the Chesapeake is wonderfully unique and heralded by many around the world. Hell, my mouth is watering typing this blurb. In the end, we found it only fitting to incorporate the majestic blue crab on the back of the driftwood-inspired cover. We hope you enjoy not only the notebooks, but the ridiculously awesome crab cake recipe below!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

1 cup crushed saltines (about 20 crackers)

PREPARATION

Stir together first 5 ingredients; fold in crabmeat and saltines. Let stand 3 minutes. Shape mixture into 8 patties. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet; cover and chill 1 hour.
