Yesterday we were happy to see Tom's brother Bernie in from Indiana. We see him every other summer when we visit Indiana but he rarely has a chance to come down here. When we heard he was coming we knew we had to have a crawfish boil. We had to really look around for crawfish since it was a bad season for them. We finally found someone willing to sell us a bag which turned out to be 32 lbs. Tom cooked it out in the backyard, some mild and some spicy. The bag fell over at one point and a few escaped. We went chasing them around the backyard, trying to make sure we got them all, they sure move fast and they are vicious! If you've never been to a real crawfish boil, you have to try it sometime :). I am so glad we got to take a brake from the issues with Ally's teacher and spend time with family. To eat a crawfish you grab the head and twist it off. Then you grab the tail and pull. That's it, pretty easy. We boil ours in a big pot that you an check out at Academy. Then Tom adds the spices. Last he adds the corn and potatoes. A crawfish boil is a really fun, casual picnic style dinner. It's super casual and very tasty.
