I transferred the new picnic table outside the other day. You can check out some pictures over at http://www.snotpocket.com/pictab.htm.

I think tomorrow I am going to try and boil some crawfish. More to the point, I am going to try and get some crawfish to boil... I already know how to boil them. If you have never been to or held your own crawfish boil, you are really missing out. It is one of those things in life where the process of it all is just as rewarding as the final product, if not more.

Usually once a year we have a crawfish boil at my friends house, I think this will be the 7th annual crawfish boil. We have not set a date yet, and I am getting a little worried that we may run out of time, or have to have it on such short notice that people won't be able to make it. Crawfish season doesn't end until around the middle of May, so I suppose we still have ample time, but we usually try to have it in April.

The annual crawfish boil is one of the few times a year that we all get severely polluted. We start drinking off the keg a little after lunch time. Usually by the time it gets dark, the keg is empty. Once we have to send someone to the beer store for more beer, things have usually gotten pretty interesting. Its always a blast.

Anyway, I am having a hard time waiting until them to eat some crawfish, so I think, if I can get some, I will do a small batch at home to tide me over. I will photo-document the process if it all plays out, otherwise, I probably just wait until the big day.
