It is only 190 cal per 1/2 cup serving! Since you ate only a teaspoonful, it does not even count, right? 
Homemade and fresh. I remember parents driving thru NJ for fresh tomatoes , and eating them on way home. Fresh corn. Picking strawberries or apples. Love fresh markets. Oh yes, we’d drive an hour to a place that made its own ice cream, fruit varieties, pumpkin, etc. the folks had many fruit trees and a large garden. We’d pick our own cucumbers and tomatoes, those little ones.

Crab Cakes (adapted from the New Basics cookbook - by the Silver Palate folks)
1 lb fresh lump crab
1 cup cooked corn (I actually do fresh corn on the cob and cut it from the cob to include)
1/2 c each of finely diced onion, green bell pepper, celery
1 c mayo (I use less and it’s a product from The Ojai Cook - Lemonaise)
1/2 tsp dry mustard
cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste
Combine these ingredients then add 1 beaten egg and 1/4 panko (can also use saltine cracker crumbs). Form into eight (8) patties and coat with panko. Chill at least 30 minutes but no more than a few hours.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet; cook each cake about 3 minutes per side until golden.
They say to serve w/tartar sauce but I just offer more of the Lemonaise and fresh lemon wedges.
