One Day at a Time
I'm not even hungry yet this morning and that looks yummy!
You really DO live the life, girl. :)
Silver- Some of the best crabs on the planet, for sure. Thanks so much for visiting and welcome to Cajun Country.
Angie- Just get your crab traps out and hit the Basin. Or better yet, just order from your favorite seafood house. lol
Girlll, just when I thought I was completely seafooded-out this week, I come over this way and you've got me craving again! I may or may not have just snuck into the fridge and stole 4 leftover fried shrimp from someone else's take-home-box.
Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum! I am so envious of your fantastic food choices every time I read them. Those look soooo delicious.
Kora- I don't know if I've ever been seafooded-out, except maybe once, when I ate seafood for 12 straight days!! I hear you on the fried shrimp, my favorite!! I can't resist those either.
Cal. Girl- These crabs are even better than my other favorite crabs.(Chesapeake Bay crabs) Bet you can get really good lobster, there?
Sounds and looks amazing. I don't think I've ever had boiled crabs, but would love to try them!
Definitely this is cruel and unusual punishment, on the screen it looks so close, but in fact so far...
We used to pig out on crabs from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland years ago; and they were deeelicious...
Your photo here illustrates where sometimes catching a case of crabs is a wonderful thing ! LOL...
So nice to see you, Joanne. Just buy the crabs and let someone else boil them. lol (just follow the recipe) If Cajun seasoning isn't available, use Old Bay (lemon & herb) I don't cook them, but I sure do love eating them!
Owen, It's so good to hear from you! You say that you used to eat Chesapeake Bay crabs in Maryland? What a coincidence, as I lived on the Eastern Shore for many years and ate more than my share. Those crabs are "to die for", up there. They really know how to steam em' with that Old Bay seasoning. Yum!
You have it made in the shade down there!
Elizabeth- It's so hot down here that even in the shade, you're melting. Still a lot of fun going on, though! Wish you were here!!
