Well, last night my dad got bit by a copperhead snake and is in the hospital for treatment.. so my mom's mother's day gift is a few days of peace and fucking quiet.

I also bought her some crawfish.

we boiled a mess of crawfish up last weekend,........its been a weird crawfish season,...they dont seem to be as good as last year

my family went to Famous Daves, such good food

Yea they've been lacking a little.
They're just starting to get big right now. A little later than usual. The batch we got today had some monsters in it finally. A couple weeks ago all we could find was medium to small.

At least the prices dropped after Good Friday rolled by.

amen,...
i've got 30 pounds commin on for saturday

Nice.
Live, right?
Cause no matter what you do, you can always make 'em taste better than the pre-cooked outlets.

One thing I'm adamant about is using Zatarain's crab boil (liquid) when I'm boiling crawfish. It's an absolute necessity. Salt, obviously. Throw in some potatoes, corn on the cob, Onions, a little garlic, and after they're boiled let 'em soak for at least 20 minutes.

Epic drools.

yes live,....pre cooked is gross

thats how we boil them as well,....only we also throw in artichokes and whole heads of garlic

AND we also have grilled boudian,....have to have the boudian

Shiiiiit now you talkin'.
Boudian is fiya. Done.

I didn't think you texans would share that taste with us.

east texans

i'm damn near a coonass

maybe a bit late, but maybe i can save someone a little for next year.

don't be one of those lame @zzes that goes to the flower shop at the last minute with $50 and expects the world. people like my wife, who make your arrangements, have to work the holiday because of people like that.
go early, and spend at least $100. then the designers won't hate you, and mom will refer to you as "the good son"
