Crawfish Time

 

so this happened over memorial day but I am just now getting around to posting the pics.

there is nothing like a good old crawfish boil.

I have been eating crawfish since I can remember (and I am still alive and kickin for those who are thinking eeewwww gross)

all is takes is a couple pounds of cawfish

a good stock pot

 



oh wait maybe even some more pounds of cawfish

 



some pretty great men who get them ready for boiling

 



some trays to put them on to eat (by the pound)

 



onions, potatoes, corn and sausage (not pictured)

 



seasoning

 



some family and friends

 



and a pretty awesome, curious nephew who doesn't mind touching them and showing them to bear. (my kids steer away from them) golden boy calls them red bugs and naturally little girl does the same. hopefully one day I can pull some of my cajun roots out of them.
