On Saturday I finally fulfilled the promise I’ve been making to my sisters every time they come down here. CRAB FEAST!
It’s been so long since I’ve had for real home-cooked blue crab. I was just a kid back then. But this time I’m a big fat man so now I am the cook. Stand back everyone, I’m dealing with iced-down crabs here!
You have to season these bad boys up Maryland-style. Old Bay and salt on every layer!
You know they’re done when they look delicious.
We only managed to finish the first batch. There were three batches. A bushel is a lot of crabs. That is your tip for the day.
We make the non-crab eaters watch the kids.
Half the fun is getting the meat out. It’s like a treasure hunt. Lindsay is good at it.
Anatomy lesson! Boy crabs have boy parts…
...and Girl crabs have girl parts (and sometimes eggs inside).
Like any good crab feast, we ended the day with horseback riding.
Today is Kati’s birthday! You guys know Kati. She is Kari’s sister who is now my sister because I married Kari. Yay! Happy birthday, Kati!
It is also my sister, Lindsay’s wedding anniversary! I didn’t have to marry anyone to make Lindsay my sister. She was born that way. Happy anniversary, Lindsay and Bobby! I’m sorry you are separated by so many states right now.
I have another sister who I guess just graduated or something? Nothing particularly special about today for her though. Hi, Diana!
Try not to be jealous of all my awesome sisters.
9:31:39 AM Justin Blake: my kid just coughed and an apple jack came out
9:31:51 AM Bill Evans: maybe he’s a factory
9:31:57 AM Bill Evans: shake him and see if more cereals come out
2:10:27 AM Kristine Evans: i can’t take my eyes off all the fancy pants!
When you pop a pimple, do you ever worry, instead of shooting outwards, it’s going to shoot back into your body?
Ruby’s real stall done flooded on account of us having a multi-day break from a drought. Florida is all about extremes.
So we built this yesterday morning as quickly as possible. Yes my truck is acting as one wall.

1:29:41 PM James O’Donnell: why is that creepy
1:30:11 PM Justin Blake: i’m scared of you now
1:30:47 PM James O’Donnell: so if kari said that she wanted you to bring a bag with panties and a dead chicken to her grave 5 years after she died you wouldn’t do it?
1:31:14 PM Justin Blake: of course i would but it’d still be creepy
1:31:37 PM James O’Donnell: i don’t think the police should be getting involved in what is obviously a voodoo witch ritual
Have I ever told you the story of the time we cleaned out the shed at our old house?
Let me start a few months before that. You see we have snakes, 5 of them, and like any living thing snakes have to eat. Well, normally we keep a stash of frozen (pre-killed, obviously) snake food in the freezer. There are however occasions when Justin needs to get snake food live and kill it himself.
One of those occasions came up and Justin bought a live rat. Before Justin could, um…well, you know, the rat got away. Justin chased it up and down the driveway, but the rat managed to escape into our messy shed.
Okay, lets get back to the cleaning of the shed. We were pulling out all kinds of things, some to keep, some to toss. I found a box of rags that needed to be washed. Justin took the rags from me, took them to the house, dumped them into the washing machine, added soap, and started the machine.
We continued cleaning the shed and later once the load of rags was clean I went in to toss them into the dryer. I pulled out a handful of rags and put them into the dryer. Then I pull out a few more. I reached in once more only this time instead of pulling out a rag I pulled out a bone. What on earth? I looked inside to find more bones and a big clump of fur.
Ewww! Ewww! Ewww! Because I’m such a girl I ran out calling for Justin. He came in and cleaned out the washing machine. We later realized that it was most likely that rat that had gotten away a few months before.
I was reminded of that time today when I was out with the horses. I picked up some hay to take to Ruby’s stall. When I tossed it in there I noticed something odd in it. As I pulled my odd finding out of the hay I realized it was a FOOT.
Ewww! Ewww! Ewww! I tossed it onto the ground as quickly as I could. I’m not sure what kind of animal the foot belonged to. It wasn’t a domestic animal. It wasn’t a rat or rabbit’s foot. It was furry. And had it still been attached to an animal I would have likely thought it was a cute foot. It wasn’t attached to an animal though so it wasn’t cute, it was just horrifyingly gross.
