  1. Perhaps I did something wrong in making this dip, but it was way too salty and strong-flavored for my taste. I used the best canned crab I could find and doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9" pie plate. Somehow, something went wrong.
     
  2. A REALLY great appetizer, commonly known as Crab Rangoon when wrapped and deep fried in a wonton wrapper. To get closer to the Crab Rangoon recipe I get in a local Chinese restaurant, you can leave out the hot sauce and serve this with deep fried wonton wrappers cut into smaller pieces. A real crowd pleaser, but best served hot or warm.

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
