Crab Cake topped with Spinach and Sunny Side up Egg
We have a newish restaurant in town and I have been working my way through the Small Plate section of their menu. One of the last items I had left to try was the crab cakes.
I rarely order crab cakes when I go out to dinner. They are usually all bread no crab and sit in your belly like a lead weight. These were slightly better than most, they were a bit heavy for me but did have a nice sweet crab flavor and after eating half of one I thought “these would be great with an egg on top.” So I had the left over’s wrapped up and this morning I reheated the crab cake topped it with a bit of sautéed spinach and a sunny side up egg.
Would I order these again? Yes, but only to-go to have for breakfast the next day.

Petridish.org: Crowdfunded science
Calling all armchair scientists! Petridish.org is a new site that allows you to help fund a science project, then follow along with the project team as it progresses. As with the successful site Kickstarter, which funds arts-related projects, backers reap a multitude of project-related rewards that range from updates and photographs of research in progress, to stones from far-away countries, even the possibility of naming a new species.
Since submarines began roaming the depths in World War I, sailors and oceanographers, who use sonar technology to map seafloor topography and identify ocean life, have regularly run into “acoustic ghosts”—inexplicable bodies of movable mass that sometimes rivaled the size of a city. Every time a theory emerged to explain the phenomenon, however, it was quickly shot down.
In 2003 scientists aboard a research vessel just south of Long Island, New York, discovered that the UFOs were composed of hundreds of millions of fish—massive gatherings on a scale never before documented. Using low-frequency sonar technology that penetrated hundreds of miles, they identified a school roughly the size of Manhattan.
