Picking the crablegs October 16, 2004 ~ 10:57 pm
Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , trackbackWe went to Jordan’s Lobster Dock tonight to get my crablegs, and Rick came with his girls. Mom and I had crablegs, the Oldest had a shrimp sandwich, the Youngest some chicken tenders, and Rick, a cheeseburger. Because that’s what you have at a seafood place. No, seriously, he thinks he’s allergic to fish. Depending on what kind of fish and how they’re prepared. Don’t ask. In the past, he’s told me that fresh fish don’t bother him, so I’m guessing the parts of my crablegs he noshed won’t kill him.
The Oldest and the Youngest discovered that Jordan’s lobster bisque is pretty good when they shared it with mom and me. And when they saw all the fun involved in cracking crablegs and getting the meat out of them, they decided they wanted to help. They didn’t want the crablegs, they just wanted to crack them open and take the meat out with the little crab picks because “that looks fun”. They got pretty good at it, too. Of course, with the added time needed to let the Youngest pick the crab out for me (the Oldest was helping mom), it was a little cold when I ate it. But hey, if it was keeping her entertained, wtf, right?
To cap the night off, we left the restaurant in a monsoon. Rain coming from every direction. And, just as we got in and were shutting the doors, the hail came. But the crablegs were just as good as I remembered.
