I’m a Pickin’ & She’s a Grinnin’

I LOVE Dungeness Crab!!!  Volunteered at our Annual American Legion Post 190 Crab Feast last night.  With the help of all the veterans, their spouses, and some of the Ripon High School ROTC squad we managed to put on another successful Crab Feast.  Our Post has been putting on Dungeness Crab Feeds since 1946.  We served over 450 guests.

I always buy some of the crab to take home which I meticulously pick.  The crab is cooked, cleaned, and cracked at the processing facility in Santa Rosa, CA.  It’s a labor of love … and SWMBO loves Dungeness crab as much as I do but she don’t like to pick it.

Here I am doing some pickin while watching the Daytona 500.

I bought 10 lbs.  You can see 4 lbs worth of pickin in the bowl while I work on one of the remaining three 2 lb bags.  Lots of bodies and claws.

In our future I see lots of Crab Cakes, Crab Louis Salads, Crab Dips … the list is endless  Grin Grin Course, there’s just plain grazing with some homemade cocktail sauce!!!!!
