Winter Food!

It has been raining for the last 3 days, off and on. Day temperatures in the 50s and night temperatures in the 40s. With winter weather, it is time to eat warm foods. Crab season is in. Prices have dropped. In December, we paid $3.99/lb. Last night we paid $4.99/lb, still a good deal. 12 crabs 28 lbs for 8 people...and still have 1 crab leftover. Here is a pic of an average crab we steamed last night.
Doug makes the best dipping sauce with salt, black pepper, lime and homemade mom's chili...Yummy! There was Vietnamese Pho leftover from the previous night so hot soup to warm the stomach. A nice dinner with family and friends is always great for a cold winter night. Chinese New Year is coming up in 2 weeks so keep posted.
