crawfish and humidity

Spring is in high gear in Baton Rouge...and along with spring comes two notable things.....humidity and boiled crawfish!! first, let me say that I've had previous experience with humidity, but louisiana is definitely the worst EVER!! I know this because of the shortness of my breath and the HUGEness of my hair.

The second thing I mentioned...boiled crawfish...is something I never really knew about until we moved to Louisiana. Boiled crawfish (along with snoballs and jambalaya) is a staple in this part of the country.

Everyone here kept talking about "going to crawfish boils" and having crawfish for dinner, etc, etc....but I had never had it. I wondered what the big deal was, so when our church announced that they would be having 750 lbs. of crawish at our church-wide "Day in the Park", I was immediately pumped!

After experiencing my FIRST CRAWFISH BOIL on Saturday, I have to say...its my new favorite thing!!

Here's a picture, for those of you that have no idea what boiled crawfish looks like (its usually served with potatoes and corn). mmmm...yum!


It is soooo good! Don't be scared...just try it!
