Crawfish Boil, minus the Crawfish (for me, at least)

I don't like crawfish.  They're gross, disgusting little bugs who crawl around in the mud eating other fish's poop.  I don't like the smell, I don't like the taste, I don't even like the way they look.  But I did have a great time at Ms. Anita's crawfish boil yesterday!  And I actually took some pictures this time!

Me & Baby Bean, Isabelle, and Hayley & Baby Hicks!

Cousins! 

I can't believe you people actually eat this stuff.  Eww.

Ms. Anita and little Ethan, who actually has his eyes open!!

Almost all of my friends were there, and I got to meet three new little people - Steph's brand-spankin-new baby boy Ethan, and the two adorable kids Ali and Ryan are fostering, Kalobe (pronounced like "Caleb") and Katelyn!  Ms. Anita had cooked a big jambalaya for lunch, for the non-bug-eating people.  The guys played volleyball, the kids went swimming and fought over toys, and the girls held each other's babies and chatted over brownies (thank you Cherie!).  It was a great day for hanging out and catching up with friends I hadn't seen in a while.  Life has been SO busy for us lately, but hopefully things will settle down soon!

  1. Crawfish boils are so much fun! But they don't call 'em mud bugs for nothin'!

    I can't eat them that way but I do love cooking with the tail meat. My dh loves to peel and eat them though. We had one last time we were in MS (it was his first and only boil so far) and he loved it. Such fun!

  3. I don't like crawfish that much either! I just do it to fit in. :) I try not to think about how gross it is to boil them alive and rip their little bodies apart and peel off the yellow poo part...YUCK. I LOVE that you married into the middle of Cajun culture in Louisiana and you don't eat crawfish. Way to stick to your guns, girlie! :)

    You look so pretty in the picture with you and Blake and Isabelle!
