CRABS CRABS CRABS
When we go to the Oregon coast to visit family, we are often lucky enough to be treated to a feast of dungeness crab. We were there recently, and oh my, it was good. I think I have the best family-in-law in the world.
My lovely mother-in-law, G, comes from the DC area and grew up eating some kind of small crabs. Blue crabs? Apparently a person can eat more than a few in a sitting. When she moved out to the west coast, she made the seafood counter guy’s eyebrows go up when he asked her how many dungeness crabs she wanted per person and she said “Five or six.” Haha! Although hmmm, I could probably eat that many I love them so much. It would just take me all night to do it.

Yah, I don’t know what kind of crabs we eat out here but they are small and you don’t get a whole lot of meat. I don’t know that I’ve ever had a really big crab.
(I also thought you’d be debuting some kind of crabs palindrome.:))

Hi Lisa!
And Oh! What a good idea! A new palindrome is long overdue.
And, if you ever get out here to the left coast, please please please try to get a hold of some fresh dungeness. It really is so very good.
