Crab Salad Stuffed Pita Pockets

The relaxation is really starting to hit me now and let me tell you, it is awesome! Day 2 of officially being on holiday and I already feel recharged. We've been waking up without an alarm clock, going for leisurely morning strolls around the neighborhood, picniking in the afternoons and catching up with family or a good book in the evenings.



With that said, holidays are clearly not meant for slaving away in the kitchen (it tends to interfere with all that lazing about time) but of course it's still nice to whip up something tasty. I bring you pita stuffed with crab salad. It's similar to good old tuna salad, but with the added luxury factor of using crabmeat instead of tuna. Even if it is still tinned. Because we all need a little bit of luxury around the end of the year...
