Crawfish Races and a Boil

Father's Day weekend required a special meal to kick it all off.  Nothing says "man food" like sucking crawfish heads (Shhh, I don't partake, but that will be our secret). 

The hubs thoroughly enjoys a good crawfish boil, twisting the heads and sucking 'em back, not to mention he's got pulling the tail meat down to an art.  Swilling beer and getting all those juices and beer mixed up in his beard just adds to the manliness of it.  A boil is a perfect Father's Day meal.

We ordered that mess of crawfish from our local grocer.  They're live when you get them so have fun with it.

You can race them...

antagonize them...

Scare your little ones with 'em,

but be warned.  Someone just may piddle on your floor.

Lucky for me it was only crawfish piddle.  As our "big girl" exclaimed, "I pee on the potty!"

  Look at that big 'ol Granddaddy in the center there; look at those pincers!

  

At last, the supper, pork & venison sausage, corn on the cob, and red potatoes.  Mmm, mmm!
