I Love Louisiana!!

We had a crawfish boil before the big SAINTS game this past Saturday. Crawfish boils are a tradition for us especially for the Super Bowl, so we thought we should have one for the Saints playoff game. There's nothing better than living in Louisiana. No where can you find such awesome food as you can here in the deep south. The food everywhere else seems bland in comparison. And what could be better than a crawfish boil and watching the Saints win! Still can't believe that! Unless you're from around here, you probably aren't familiar with crawfish. So, I took a few shots of the guys boiling them and then the all of us eating them.







The first one shows Olivia Kate eating her first crawfish. We didn't boil them last year because the crawfish harvest was so low due to the hurricane. You only eat the tail meat. If you'll look close in Jan's hand you'll see just the tail meat she's handing to Olivia.



In the beginning, Olivia Kate (the three year old) screamed every time a crawfish dead or alive got near her.







Here are some of the kid's having fun...in other words... playing with their food!! LOL


















After you pull the tail meat out then you suck the head.

Here's one of Jan with Oliva. And also one of the finished product! YUMMY!!













I wonder who looked at these wierd things and thought, HEY! I bet those taste good! LOL
