Now why couldn’t this be yesterday? I mean, how convenient would that have been! Lenten Friday, Oregon Day and Crabmeat Day all rolled into one amazing supper. Oh well, I guess we can’t have everything.

Oh My, It’s Crabmeat Day!
Today is National Crabmeat Day. For us, the best part of the Lenten Season are the Crab Feed Fundraisers. In the past, these were social occasions. Sadly, last year many churches canceled their events completely in the wake of the pandemic.

When it comes to recipes, do you have a pet peeve? I have two. Okay, maybe more than two, but two that come to mind immediately. The first is a list of ingredients, the order of ingredients. The second is additional information that needs you to be redirected to another site or another page in the book.
Bayou Country Cajun Crab and Corn Casserole
Bayou is a French-English word for a body of water found in low-lying areas that creeps along its undefined shorelines. It’s a bog, a swamp, a marshy-green thing. The color isn’t necessarily in the water but rather in the reflections. It’s sticky and smelly and bug-infested. It’s also filled with amazing beauty.

Baked Crab Legs Kissed with Garlic Lemon Butter
Another great suggestion for Labor Day. I don’t know about you, but our grill is going to be packed with all sorts of good eats. Yet some sweet, succulent crab legs would be such a welcome addition to the banquet table. When I saw this recipe, I knew in an instant that it would be perfect.

Grilled Alaskan King Crab Legs with Compounded Butter
A little oil for grilling, some lemon wedges as a garnish and the legs. Enjoying crab legs doesn’t get much simpler than this. But then again, we could complicate things with Compounded Butter. But that’s just an optional thing.

Old Bay-Larger Maryland Steamed Blue Crabs
Confession time – I’ve never personally tried this recipe. It’s in my collection in the hopes that some day I’ll have access to live blue crabs. And when I do, that I’ll have what it takes to cook ’em live. To those of you that can get ’em and cook ’em, how I envy you!

Smoky Grilled King Crab Legs are Delicious!
I guess it’s all these photos I’ve been sharing lately of our recent Holiday Vacation to the Pacific Northwest that has my mind occupied with bounties from the sea. Okay, so these Crab Legs actually hail from Alaska. While it might be a stretch, Alaska is about as far North as you can get. And I love the Pacific Northwest.

Crab Oreganata in a Scallop Shell
Don’t you just love these shells? I know I do. I like anything that is served in something different – like a shell or a hollowed out coconut bowl or bread or pineapples. We once ate at a restaurant that used pineapples cut lengthwise and hollowed out to serve rice, sweet and sour pork or teriyaki chicken. It was awesome! I want to try a backyard tropical party with pineapples as serving platters and drink cups. I think that would be fun, don’t you?
Pack a Picnic and Take a Walk in the Park
Today is National Take a Walk in the Park Day. The day was intended to be a way to relax after a long and busy day. Walking in the part is said to be calming and therapeutic, an excellent way to clear one’s mind from the stress of the day. While all of that is great, and we should spend more time visiting our local parks, one of the things I love is to pack a light lunch to take on my stroll. I like to take my camera and a note pad, too. Spending time with nature gets my creative juices flowing. It’s nice to have the notepad for jotting down thoughts or moments that I don’t want to forget. Strolling through the park always brings new discoveries. And the most amazing discovery of all are those we make about ourselves when let our souls be still for a moment.

Today is National Crab Stuffed Flounder Day – How Delicious!
Today, February 18th is more than just Presidents Day, a day many Americans honor George Washington and Abraham Lincoln with huge mattress sales. It is also National Battery Day, National Drink Wine Day (good advise with politics being what they are these days) and National Crab Stuffed Flounder Day (boy, that’s a tasty mouthful).

Crab Alfredo
Two of my favorite foods combined into one awesome dish – Linguine in an Alfredo Sauce and sweet, succulence crab meat. What could be better on a Friday evening in September? Served up with a simple tossed salad and a nice bottle of your favorite wine, what more could we ask for? Oh yeah, let’s not forget some warm garlic bread. Now all you need to make this a perfect evening would be a few close friends to share your table.
Snow Crab Leg Clusters in Garlic Butter
Snow Crab. While not as meaty as our favorite, the King Crab, Snow Crab is sweeter and less expensive. I adore the added garlic-butter flavor that seeps into the meat during the warming process. Unless you live in a coastal town, or get your crab from a large fish tank, all crabs are cooked when they’re caught then quickly flash frozen for transport. You’re basically just heating them up, whether that be with steam, on a grill or in a large pan with lots of butter. Once killed, crab has a very short shelf life and can be dangerous to consume. It’s how you choose to warm the crab that makes a difference in flavor.
Grilled King Crab Legs with Garlic
Since just before Thanksgiving, our local Costco has had a seafood and meat case in the middle of the fresh food section. It looks like those cases in the old-time butcher stores, with offerings behind glass and an apron-clad clerk waiting to take your order. The steaks and roasts in the cases are enormous! You know those Cowboy Cut Rib Eye Steaks that were making the rounds on the cooking shows a while back, but you couldn’t seem to find them at your local grocery store? Yep, they got them! One steak will feed an entire family. And those big steaks come with an equally big price tag. While the presentation is on a grand scale, you are paying a good deal of money for a handle bone that you cannot eat. Did I want to buy one? You bet. However; I just could not justify the cost.
