because of the cold front that came through this weekend, kit and i decided to stay in all day sunday. we had a bag of live blue crabs, coco, cookies, chips, soy milk, a bunny, and some movies. and in the middle of lunch(it lasted 2 hours) i realized "whoh...this is a day lala would blog about with a bunch of photos and beautiful words" so iv got a bunch of pictures for you.....and beau.....ok just words-mostly spelled wrong.
kits dad got her a huge bag of blue crabs so we filled my sink with water and some salt, and put'em in. crabs are very angry at humans and each other so they fight ALL the time, kinda fun to wach. one crab inparticular was a total badass. so we named him frank, this is frank and kit.
we put all the crabs in a raundau(rondo-kitchen talk) with a little water and steamed them for about 20 min. this is what a pot of cooked crabs looks like. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................
i also clarified some butter to dip the crab meat in. it takes a long time to eat whole crab. lots of breaking and pulling and mess. totally worth it. if you have the time, its very relaxing and a good way to get to know people better, and just talk. one of the things i love most about food. its one of the great mediators of man.
so after about 3 crabs i came to frank. a little advice. never name somthing that you will eat 8 hours later. its kinda wierd. frank was no longer blue but bright red. and all the badass had cooked out. lifeless and stairing me in the face, frank said " this is an important day, act as it is, so i will not have died in vain". wow, thanks buddy.
"R.I.P.- frank. 2007-2008"
movies, coco, and cookies after that, and i stayed true to franks words.
and i got 'merica boots on saturday. yay 'merica!!!!!!!!!!!
