I used to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with my gal pal in California. That’s where I had my first taste of roast turkey and I’ve gotten hooked ever since.

Since Thanksgiving and Christmas is only a month away from each other, she would try not to have roast turkey twice. Actually I wouldn’t have minded having turkey twice in a month but well, I wasn’t calling the shots.

So she would either have ham or a pork roast for Christmas. It’s nice to have something completely different to look forward to, like some plump scallops, for example.

Or lobster tails? I rarely see lobsters sold anywhere, only served at fancy restaurants.

But if you live in the continental United States, you can shop The Crab Place for award-winning Maryland seafood and have it delivered fresh to the your doorstep. They offer discounted weekday shipping to different parts of the US so you should definitely check that out.

On the Black Friday weekend from November 28 thru December 1, 2008, you can use this link to save 25% off their award-winning Maryland Lump Crab Cakes.

I love crab cakes dipped in chili sauce. I don’t think they ship internationally but I’m definitely checking out the free seafood recipes on their site for some ideas of what to cook for Thanksgiving in case I really can’t find that turkey .
