Johanna and Eric and Annette went crabbing this afternoon. They only caught two, and guess who got crab for dinner?! This girl. This is the first time I've ever had to kill a live animal (except for that time I shot a squirrel, which doesn't totally count), and I have to say that I felt kind of bad about it. I mean, not awful. But pretty bad. Then, once they were cooked and I was rushing to get dinner finished before Nick got home, and all 3 girls were purposefully trying to do everything in their power to not let me fix dinner, I sat there cracking the shell with my teeth. After twenty minutes of picking out crab and looking down at the tiny pile on the plate, I pretty much decided that I don't have time in my life for crab. But thank you Jojo and Eric for providing us with this delicious meal. If you guys ever go crabbing again, we will gladly come eat your already picked left overs!!!!
Crab is by far one of my favorite foods EVER! Flip hates it, so we don't have it very often. Yes, it is a pain to actually get to the meat, but once you get it out...Mmmmmm! My favorite part is using one of the super big claws as a toothpick to dig the meat out. It's a little sad to think that I will never again have crab cioppino at my Granma's house. So you enjoy that pain in the butt crab! And next time, invite me ;)
ReplyDeleteI guess we should've brought you a crab cracker as well! Your poor teeth!
