Crawfish

We were invited to our very first crawfish boil.  I must admit that I am not a big crustacean person.  I don't like seeing dead things in the same state they were in when they were alive.  The eyes, the legs, the antannae...  YUCK.  But, crawfish is a Louisiana experience, and I was determined to have it.  So I braved it all, cracked that crawfish open, and ate it.  Cracking the crawfish open was gross.  But the meat was good.  I don't think I'll be holding my own crawfish boil anytime soon, and I won't be ordering any at a restaurant (boiled at least), but if I'm invited to a crawfish boil again, I'll go.  Brielle loved the crawfish too.  She wanted to play with the ones we'd already cracked open.  Sick.  But it was a fun time.

Brielle and Daddy with the crawfish.  Brielle was really interested in them.  Look at that face as she checks it out.  Priceless!

Crawfish boils ARE an experience. My sister used to live in Louisiana, so I'm lucky enough to have experienced it once. And once was enough for me.
