Well now, that should get rid of it! Throw in some garlic and you have all the bases covered.

I decided to eat afterall. Had some leftover souvlaki stuffed in a pita with all of the usua fixins. Now, there was a tone of garlic in the tzatziki.

The egg drop soup sounds good. Thanks for the reminder, I've been wanting to make it.

Swordfish is such a strong flavor, I always just broiled it plain. :chef:
 
How many crabs is in 5lbs? For home we normally use the bushel measurement.

My family is from Baltimore and used to the bushel basket purchases. Florida, generally sells by the pound. What I bought was a dozen that happened to be just over 5 lbs. I would suspect that most would not have been legal size in MD. :mad: Also, folks here can't tell male from female. I asked for males, but they managed to slip a couple females in. They also don't seem to understand the term "paper shell". :mad: Soft shells are $6.99 each.

But...were they good? How'd you serve them?
 
I love cottage pie, too, Alix. I usually dust the mashed taters with paprika and stick the casserole under the broiler for a bit. They freeze well, too.

Yep, turtle is in season here, so I made a turtle burger. I probably should have cooked it on the grill, as my oven dial isn't only off, it fluctuates as to how far off it is at any given time.

Chef's Salad with turkey breast, imported Swiss, tomatoes, lettuce, sweet onion, red bell pepper, navy beans, etc., with a Dijon vinaigrette. Deep chocolate muffins/cupcakes for dessert.

Yes they were good. Normally the whole lot would be dumped on a news paper covered table and everyone just dug in. We had individual "news paper plates". Traditionally, the crabs are all there is, well except for the beer, but we also had coleslaw and the best sweet hush puppies I've ever had. Google is your friend!;)
