a crabby new year



I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming 2010 with some dear friends. We spent the weekend at the coast and made the most of one of the best years ever for dungeness crab! They were ENORMOUS and amazing - you didn't even need to dip them in butter, mmmmmmmmmm!!!!

What we couldn't eat went into an amazing seafood gumbo the next day - it pays to have friends who know how to cook! We got to watch a storm roll in from the comfort of the cabin (in front of the fire!), watched movies, played games and then went for some walks along the coast when the weather let up. All in all not a bad way to start the year, in fact I think it would bode well if the year follows that pattern. Out enjoying the beauty of nature when you get the chance, great meals from the bounty of local food, friends who will ride out the storms with you. Can't ask for much more, can you? Happy 2010 y'all!
