Miss Tickle

while KnitterMe surges forward with fancy new patterns for the fancy new year

Caterina intends to tickle Skaterina's fancy and tease her inner child

with a blue crab lump cocktail and a side of shoestring fries

this was Kappy (Skaterina as a little girl) 's favorite lunch when

grandpa Pete bribed her to go to lunch with him

he favored luncheons in glamorous coctkail lounges usually

located in spiffy hotels

this was in the 1940's / yes, during the war / and in the District of Columbia

Washington, D.C.

the potatoes are prepped

Caterina is using The Pioneer Woman's twice cooked recipe for perfect fries

the crab lumps / wish us luck / are sealed in a bag guaranteed to be

edible until sometime later this year

edible ?

isnt that incredible ?

seems a little creepy

in reserve and for back up we have a bag of frozen king crab legs

only need steaming and picking

we brag sometimes about our prowess in picking crab meat out of shells

grow up in Maryland and you can be a crab picking star too
