Takeout: Crab Cakes and Sweet Sesame Seed Bread

One of the things that I love about living in New England is all the excellent seafood available up here. Just recently I even boiled my first lobster from the local Winter Farmer's Market (and no, it didn't scream or make any sort of noise). Recently, a Hannah Foods market opened up just down the street and they have the most delicious crab cakes I've ever tasted, served with a citrus remoulade sauce.

Every Friday, I treat myself to a few crab cakes and a lemon-lime Maine Root soda. (Hannah is also the only place I've found that carries this flavor--it's so yummy!)

At the market, they were also running a special on a sweet sesame seed bread. The bread itself tasted like naan, because it was soft and chewy, and it was topped with honey and dusted with sesame seeds. The honey had crystallized in a couple places, which made the bread even better. It was perfect as a dessert, especially served with some fruit, because it was sweet, but not too heavy. Plus, the sesame seeds added a very nice contrasting flavor to the sweetness of the honey.
