Cap’n stace

What is it about the south and boiling things? When I lived in Louisiana we were always having a crawfish boil, or shrimp boil, or something boil. Some sort of shell fish was going into a ginormous pot of boiling water and we were having a party. When I lived in Maryland, famous for its crabs, we had cakes and I don’t think I saw a huge pot of boiling shell fish the entire time I lived there. Now that I am back in a southernish state the parties are starting again. The other night at work people pitched in and had a crawfish boil, I’m talking 60lbs of crawfish. They laid newspaper on a 6 ft plastic folding table and poured the crawfish and vegetables directly from the pot to the paper. It was such a sight, alas I did not have my camera. I guess we will do a food night once a week so next time I will be prepared. It was a fun evening.
