Memories are funny like that, we jumble things up and confuse the chronology of when things happen. It’s easy to lose track of time over the years, but the thing that has always fascinated me is why we remember some pieces and not others. There are memories that delight us, inspire us and hurt us, and yet certain things stick while others just…go away. Sometimes it’s big things that stick and sometimes it’s small and inconsequential things. Something that has always stuck out in my memory is seeing these gougeres on my friend Denise’s blog, Chez Us. For one, my friend Denise happened to post them on her blog on what happened to be my birthday, which happened to be my first in Chicago. Coincidentally, I happen to love cheese and bread and all things that combine butter and cheddar and flour.

So now, you can make spicy crab crisps too. When most people hear crab they either think crab cakes or Alaskan King crab, but there are a lot of delicious things that you can actually do with it: top your salads, stuff inside omelets, fold into a batch of macaroni and cheese. When I entertain, I usually resort to one of two things: a cheese plate or delicious guacamole with homemade tortilla chips. Or a bag of tortilla chips. Whatever, you’re not perfect either. While I fully support anyone’s endeavors in making guacamole in any way shape or form, adding crab to any entertaining repertoire is a great way to keep your friends or special someone from becoming tired of your cheesy attempts at bite-sized snacks.
