Bobbie Crab Boil

Ryan spent a good portion of his childhood in Louisiana and has fond memories of the crab and crawfish boils his parents used to host. So, when Frank and Paula came to visit, we thought it would be special to have our very own crab boil. Using Frank's recipe and special ordered blue crabs we had quite the feast. While preparing the boil, a surprise thunderstorm sent the boys into the basement for a short time but they left the door open to keep an eye on the pot.

I'm a little squeamish about food with eyeballs but was determined to give it a try. After a quick lesson in pickin' crab, I joined in the fun. Pretty tasty if you just don't think about it too much. We made short work of all the crab and then sat back and enjoyed the beautiful South Carolina night. This may well be a yearly tradition.
