In the midst of the usual and unusual chaos that currently reigns in our house I totally forgot about all of you.
I've been busy driving, to my doc appts, to Larry's doc appts, to Larry's PT appts and taking Colin to dog school.
Also to the bookstore, the feed store and the grocery store.
AND DID I MAKE A SCORE AT WHOLE FOODS YESTERDAY!!
Yes my internet buddies it is fresh Dungeness crab season here on the north coast. Local crab fresh from the boat, cooked on the spot and delivered to local grocery stores all in just a few hours. Generally crab can run any where from 5.99 lb (and most of those places won't clean and crack it for you) to 7.99 lb but it comes cleaned and cracked. I got it at 3.69 lb cleaned and cracked. I went a bit crazy and bought 4. We ate one last night, will probably eat another tonight and the last 2 will go into recipes. How about crab and avocado enchiladas with green sauce, crab fishball soup, crab cheesecake or just plain old crab right out of the shell?
I almost lost in again today as the grocery store I was at was doing the same thing today. I stood in line considering getting another couple, then came to my senses and decided I should deal with the ones I have first. It's a time consuming job to pick all the meat out of a crab. But oh so worth it.
Although we almost had a crab related tragedy today. I was putting things in the fridge thinking wow there's lot of space here. THE CRAB, WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE CRAB. Larry had decided to clean out the fridge and decided that a bag full of crab looked like a bag of old leftover Chinese. I darted out of the pantry, where's the crab?, where's the crab? He claimed not to have touched it. I said it was in a green bag. Oh, I threw that in the garbage. Fortunately it's wrapped in 3 separate bags one inside the other and was at the top of the garbage bag I was able to rescue it. Let me tell you he's one lucky husband tonight!
So in short after a change in meds and fresh crab dancing before my eyes I'm a happy camper. Even with my dog that battles walking on a leash.
I have BTW found my camera cable, read the instructions and still can't figure out how to download. I figure the directions where written by an engineer.
