Crawfish and More

How many crawfish is in 30 pounds? I posed the question at the crawfish party but no one cared -- hey, the more the merrier.

RK and I hosted a crawfish party for his friends last Saturday (6/3). Most of them had not tried it and they were curious as to what it was.

We ordered 30 pounds of crawfish and they were delivered early Saturday. RK's buddies were normally late to parties but this time they all showed up pretty early. Everyone brought something to make the feast complete. Steven and Russell even found Louisiana beer for the occasion. That was very nice!

We did it Cajun style with the seafood boiler. It was an impressive sight when we dumped the crawfish onto the table along with corns and potatoes. This year, I added a little surprise to the bucket. When the crawfish was poured onto the table, out came two dungeness crabs! They really liked that! I called it the delight factor...

Beside the crawfish, we also had other food. Everyone ate, went swimming and ate some more. A good time was had by all.

The crawfish feast is becoming an annual event for us. We really enjoy all the woos and ahhs! It is exciting that food can bring so much joy. So, we will have one more crawfish party for the family before the season ends in early July.
