Sauteed Soft Shell Crab -100 Meals You Never Thought You Would Eat Pureed - Recipes for Head and Neck Cancer patients

Ummmm, Jeff, have you flipped?  Yes and No.  Notice, I didn't give this one a recipe number.  I don't recommend soft shelled crab to anyone going through cancer treatment.  But I feel, I needed to mention that I bought soft shell crabs, dressed them myself, and sauteed them in sherry and butter.  Why?  Because I could - and damn it, cancer was not going to stop me from eating the foods I really love.  I'm seven years out from the first cancer I had, and it will not break my spirit.

I was standing at the Eataly of Boston looking at the salmon to purchase for my wife, because she love a good piece of king salmon.  And the soft shell crabs were looking at me, saying TAKE ME HOME, YOU'LL LOVE IT. And I did.

The point is, the whole reason we go through this awful treatment is so that life will get better.  Soft Shell Crab represent my triumph over cancer treatment.  Take the victories as they come.  There must be some dish that you look at and think - "I'll never get to eat that ever again . . . Put that on you Pureed Bucket List and put it on the refrigerator. Don't get mad that you can't have it, be motivated that some day you will celebrate by having your victory supper with that dish as the main course.  Some day, you may not have to puree and that dish will be served as intended.  Every bite-full will be the best bite-full you ever had.
