That's exactly what I was thinking "that isn't grandma", too thin, pretty, and young!

You threw us all off with that old lady avatar pick with the bun.

You look great!

I wouldn't have the patience to shell crab for cooking, but get a few dozen jumbo hardshells, some butter, and I'm in!

Dungeness is pretty easy to shell though. Bigger, meatier.

We went with some friends to a casino one night and got comped a big buffet that had crab legs. They sat us right next to the big plate glass window at the front and just outside was the line of hungry people waiting to get in. My friend and I both had a huge mound of crab legs. We embarrassed the women folk with our eating skills that resembled those Vikings in movies eating turkey legs with big hunks of meat in their beards. At one point my buddy bit his finger because it didn't get out of his mouth fast enough. High class, indeed.

Sounds about right to me. Crablegs are a whole 'nother ball of wax over just some crab for soup cooking.

I have been selected to take part in the college's cooking competition again aka Cochise Chopped. I came second last year (by one point - curses!) and hope to win this year. I know one guy I will be up against and the dude can cook. I am wondering who the other two will be.

That sounds like something that would have happened to me...or my teenage daughter

I've been spoiled by giant king crab legs in the past, but now they are soooo pricey and much smaller. Guess over fishing (or crabbing in this case) is at it again. I agree that the stuff in the foil packet is much better than canned. Last time I opened a can of crab I was so disappointed that I fed it to my grateful chickens.

I've never gotten my hands on foil packed crab. I've only ever seen refrigerated Krab. Last time I had crab, I damn near lost a finger to my own mouth as well. Damn thing didn't pay attention to the rest of it's brethren moving away from the white rocks.

Well, a couple small clues like home addresses and/or vehicle make and model and the competition will thin out, if ya know what I mean.

LOL. Nah, I want to beat the dude in the kitchen. Only found out yesterday and he is already talking smack.

I could arrange for his ingredients to be "off"....

Seriously? I say follow the Teddy Roosevelt theory. Speak softly and carry a big ol' hunkerin' huge kitchen knife! You got this!
