sarameg does have a gorgeous-o smile. As does, from photos, lisah.

I kinda want to go to vegas to see lisah's band. The trouble is I travel with a pre-toddler. One who is feverish and sad today.

Our crabbing evening is documented!

[link]

I've never had a whole crab. What parts are edible (besides the legs)?

Like, all of it? Except the lungs/gills. And the hard shell of course. There's the part that's called the "mustard" that is like the liver or something. I don't eat it but some people do.

The best meat is in the body in front of the backfins. That's the part that is picked and packaged as lump crabmeat.

I miss going to the Dancing Crab for a bucket of crabs (served in a bucket on your brown paper covered table).

but I will admit, lump crabmeat = so much easier. I should make crab cakes this weekend.

He'd LOVE us!!! The kids all do. Of course he may not love being in a smoky, very loud bar at 11 at night.

I just saw a guy wearing a t-shirt which I really hope is a joke. It's set up like those college athletic team practice t-shirts and it reads
BUTTE
Pirates
Athletics.

oh, yeah, of course. It's the Event of it that's the fun part. I have just finally, sort of, mastered the art of crab picking. The crabs we had last night were on the small side but were very fresh and easy to pick.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I now have an empty house.

well, no. he wouldn't love the bar at all. We went on a moonlight hike last night and he fell asleep in the carrier by 8:00.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

With lobster, most people usually just eat the claws and tail, right?
