It’s been about a week since our last post. The kids are on Summer Break. Everyone is off tomorrow except for me, but let’s not let that spoil a good night of eating. Wifey called me from the market, I met her there after work. She has been talking about Chicken all weekend, but today…

Shrimp and Crab Boil

So Today was a rainy day, Typhoon teasing us like it want to hit. We decided the perfect meal was a seafood boil. Went to the in laws house. They have a covered outdoor kitchen, so we used their burner and started the boil. We used water, minced garlic, some Zatarain’s shrimp and crab broil…
