Crab Feast!
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.
Thanks fat man for the crabs! It was the best idea ever.
As always Lindsay looks graceful on the horse going the normal safe speed and I look a mess going fast ;o)

What a perfect day. You’d never know it from the lack of happiness on my face in the pictures.
