Dining Pleasures From The Past THE DEVILED CRAB,

By The Chef

A

a LowCountry favorite has almost disappeared here!

tradition in the Lowcountry, 55 years ago my father would give us a string with a chicken neck on the end, we would wade a couple of feet into the river in front of our home and 40 minutes later we had a bucket of fresh local Atlantic blue crab.

Dad would throw them in a big pot of boiling water with a seafood seasoning. While we cooked and cleaned the crab he told us, “We’re going to make deviled crab.”

I can remember him saying that deviled crab originated in Florida, near Tampa during a cigar workers strike in the 1920s.

It was shaped in an oval to be held with one hand.

During this time crab was very plentiful and inexpensive; it was fed to migrant workers, labor forces. Stale Cuban bread was used with Latin American spices making it easy to carry with you to work.

Locally we were taught to make deviled crab and place it back into the crab shell, serving it for dinner.

Really good deviled crab is hard to find

8 • www.Ediblesmag.com

now — crab cakes have taken over. Today you can just purchase a pound of good crab meat and prepare your own deviled crab.

Here is our simple family recipe.

DEVILED CRAB: 1 cup of cracker crumbs 2-3 tablespoons of butter 1 pound of claw or lump crab meat 1/2 cup of mayonnaise 1 1/2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons of a good mustard 1 hard cooked egg, chopped fine 1 teaspoon of hot sauce 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning (early on, it was a Cuban spice-my father used). Mix well and place in your foil or real crab shell.....Put a solid small butter cube on top, now cool for several hours (to let seasonings attach ).

Bake at 350 degrees 4 inches from the top of the oven around 15-20 minutes (until it’s nice and brown)

NOTE: Good deviled crab isn’t found here now — good crab cakes have taken over!

If you’re looking for the best in Lowcountry cuisine you can count on an authentic soul food experience at Ruby Lee’s on Hilton Head Island.

By Associate Editor Ruth Ragland

Proprietor Tim Singleton’s inspiration for his recently launched eatery is homegrown — his mother and grandmother.

It’s his family’s first entry into the restaurant business but the menu draws on the dishes that kept them coming back for more at the dinner table at home when he was growing up.

“We’re really excited — our restaurant represents her authentic soul food,” he said of his grandmother, Ruby Lee. “Macaroni and cheese, collard greens, sweet potato pecan pie, fried chicken, oxtails — I can keep going on and on and on. She did a lot of things well.”

“We wanted to honor her name and put a business together that represented all the qualities of her life to honor her life — she represented class, integrity,” he said. “She was an incredible cook and more importantly she was an incredible black woman that took care of her kids, her kids’ kids and her grandkids’ kids.”

While it’s his grandmother’s life he wants to celebrate in naming the place Ruby Lee’s, Singleton is also proud to have his mother Deborah Govan as a partner in the venture.

“She knew she wanted to be a part of it,” he said.

“She came in on it and she inspired me to make it the best thing going.”

“Strong black women don’t get a lot of credit,” he said. “But there’s nothing like a mother’s love and support to carry you through a lot of adverse situations.”

Singleton has enlisted the help of his entire family in getting Ruby Lee’s up and running. It’s important to him to offer a family-style ambience welcoming customers from ages 8 to 80.

The location at 46 Old Wild Horse Road on the North end of Hilton Head provides easy access whether you’re coming onto or leaving the island.

Ruby Lee’s offers customers lunch, dinner and happy hour and also live entertainment on Wednesdays and Fridays at a very affordable price.

In addition to ribs, fried chicken and mouth12 • www.Ediblesmag.com 12 • www.Ediblesmag.com

Ruby Lee’s Sports, Blues & Soul Food

watering pork chops Ruby Lee’s has an eclectic menu that includes great stir fries, vegetarian plates, and seafood featuring crab cakes, oysters, shrimp and grits, and “traditional whiting fish with the bone it in that everybody loves,” Singleton said.

Singleton prides himself on serving food made from scratch at Ruby Lee’s and buying local seafood and produce.

“We take our time and do it right,” he said of Lowcountry favorites like she-crab soup. “We want to support the people around us as we build our business up.”

Patrons can also look forward to daily specials of the kind of fare that “just warms your belly,” he said.

“That’s the thing that’s going to separate us and make people want to try us.”

Ruby Lee’s Sports, Blues & Soul Food also features eight high-definition flat screen TVs for catching live sports action and a full-service bar with a great wine list.

Some of the best known names in local entertainment can be found performing live on Wednesdays and Fridays. Adding to the fun atmosphere is Singleton’s special collection of sports and entertainment memorabilia displayed around Ruby Lee’s.

“I’m praying and hoping we can stand strong in this economy,” he said. “If our start is any indication of how we’ll end then we’re well on our way.”

“There’s nothing we won’t do to make our customers happy,” Singleton said.

GREEN CLEANING

Natural Household Products to Use in Spring Cleaning

By Kathryn Vercillo www.kathrynvercillo.com Are you getting ready to do your spring cleaning? Do you want to try to keep that cleaning low-cost and green? Many people are interested in using natural products that are chemical-free. The problem is that many of the green cleaners on the market are expensive. But you don’t actually need those products for green spring cleaning. You can use normal household products instead.

1. Baking soda. This is probably the number one natural product that most people already know how to use in the home. It’s a natural cleaner that is most commonly used to get rid of bad smells in the refrigerator. It also deodorizes in other parts of the home and is great for cleaning stinky things like carpets or rugs. If you’re going to be doing some deep cleaning of pots, pans and Tupperware this spring then you should use baking soda there, too, since it will aid in deodorizing them. Additionally, the slight grittiness of baking soda makes it a really great cleaner for areas of the home that need to be scrubbed and scoured.

2. Hydrogen peroxide. You probably keep this product around your house because it’s great at killing bacteria. This doesn’t just work on your cuts, either. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to kill bacteria and mold all throughout your home.

This helps to keep your home safe for everyone who lives there. Hydrogen peroxide is great to use to clean the walls and floor of your home and it can even be used to clean the toilet. You’ll want to dilute it with hot water when using it.

3. Lemon juice. There is a reason that there are so many cleaning products on the market today that have a lemon scent to them. This fresh scent is associated with a clean feeling do to the fact that lemon is a great antibacterial product.

Lemon juice is a nice-smelling cleaner that helps to deodorize and freshen the home. It is also a natural bleach alternative. It can be used to clean glass, especially stained coffee pots. It can also be used to clean any copper that you might have in the home.

4. Olive oil. You would not believe how many uses for olive oil exist that have nothing to do with food. It’s a terrific home cleaning product that is used in particular to polish up your home.

It works really great on all types of wood so you can use it on floors and furniture. It can also be used to polish stainless steel which makes

14 • www.Ediblesmag.com

it a terrific spring cleaning agent for kitchens and bathrooms. And if you notice any squeaky doors or hinges while you’re doing your spring cleaning then you can also apply a bit of olive oil to end that problem!

5. Pure castile soap. This is the one product that you might want to purchase that you don’t necessarily already have around the home. This is a natural form of soap that is safe for the home. Dr. Bronner’s is a popular brand name but you can choose other brands as well such as Elysian Dream or Shadow Lake. Pure castile soap will work well in all areas of home cleaning that require soap. A great tip is to combine this ingredient with either salt or baking soda when you want to scrub an area clean. The grittiness from the salt or baking soda will assist in the scouring of areas such as the tub or the sink. The soap will help to really get these areas clean. This soap can also be used on laundry stains and even to clean your pets. You might also want to use a little bit of lemon juice to improve the smell.

6. Salt. Salt has a bit of that same grittiness that you get from baking soda (although typically a bit more so). For that reason, it’s a terrific product to use when trying to scrub or scour your home. Salt also has deodorizer properties.

It can be used to clean your dishes, especially greasy pans since it will soak up the grease. It can be combined with soap or vinegar to make a stronger cleaning agent.

7. Tea tree oil. Like olive oil, tea tree oil can be used to polish up your home. However, it does more than this; tea tree oil is known for its ability to kill germs. You can combine it with water in a spray bottle and use it to clean out mold and mildew from areas like the bathroom. You might also want to add this to your laundry to protect it from mildew and mold.

8. White vinegar. This important product is great for helping to clean your home. The reason for this is that it’s an anti-bacterial product that is capable of destroying germs. It’s also good for killing any mold that you might have starting to grow in your home.

Very few ingredients that you see on the list cost very much at all. Most of these are probably ingredients that you already have around your home. By choosing to use these as natural cleaners this spring, you’ll be able to really freshen up your home at a low cost. And you won’t have any nasty chemicals to contend with in your home!

You don’t have to live in Italy to live like an Italian.

Just experience Bella Luna Cafe and you’ll enjoy the passion for the good life.
