Even though Mardi Gras was over on Tuesday, we had our celebration on this past Saturday night by having our very own crawfish boil. We picked up 12lbs. of live crawfish in the afternoon in preparation for the festivities. Our guest included our friends Grant, Joe, and Sara. It was a challenge to finish all 12 pounds, however Jason and Joe stuck it out until the last crawdad was eaten.
We discovered Joe was the true Cajun of the group, sucking out the bodies and even eating the claws at times. We look forward to crawfish season every year and try to get in as many boils as possible. This batch was fairly good, however we have yet to see crawdads as good as pre-Hurricane Katrina days.
Although size, color, and vitality of the crawfish is important, the boil is really about just getting friends together with a pile of food and chowing down. We can't wait to show our baby how to tear open a crawfish!

As an avid Peta enthusiast, I must say i am outraged by your "festivities."
