I had crabs

thats right, stone crabs.......  We have not had a stone crab fest in a few years, but in years past we've had up to twenty folks chowing down.  

 Only one claw at a time is harvested and the crab is thrown back into Florida waters to live, re-grow and hopefully defend themselves with the one claw.  The season is very limited and these bad asses were in the ocean on Friday and on our plates Sat. eve.  KJ puts together the sides they serve at Joe's in Miami, with stuffed tomato, coleslaw, and hash browns. The fest was a small one this year, welcoming the Mc Donald's along with the Driscoll's and the Guinta's.  We had a good time and played Apples to Apples after dinner.

You know why I put this in here.  My cat rules. And eats on the kitchen table when no company is around.  Don't worry I wipe it down, no cat ass served in our food.

Worked in the garden Sunday.  I got days, and days of work ahead.

photographed this last week for best of springs, green and red chili for El Paso Cafe on North Nevada.  I'm going to try it out this week and let you know. OMG does this look awesome or not?
