got crabs?

One more catch-up post...

When T was visiting a few weeks ago, we decided to take a day trip to Baltimore, Maryland for some sightseeing and some major crab feasting. I think we did a pretty good job accomplishing our goals, especially in the crab feasting department.

T's research led us to Obrycki's Crab House. There was just the two of us and T initially wanted to order two dozen crabs - yeah, she wanted 24 crabs to split between the two of us. Fortunately, our waitress was able to convince us that it was better to start with a dozen x-large crabs first, and if we were still hungry after wards, we could order more. Thank goodness for that because we were both completely stuffed at 6 crabs a piece.

It probably took us about two hours to eat everything and the crabs were dense and full of sweet, delicious meat.  It was awesome. We were also guzzling water like crazy because of the saltiness and also there was a bit too much pepper in the seasoning.  The other patrons in the restaurant were staring at us in disbelief because there was the two of us vs a dozen crabs. Little do these people know the damage that T and I can do at dinner. =)
