Chris Ann and family arrived in Baltimore! After a quick toast with sangria, we had to run to a little league game. Ok…we continued the “toast” with a small pitcher that we smuggled to the baseball field. Over a bit more sangria, we decide to start our feasting with a bushel of steamed crabs.
The kids spread out the newspaper and within minutes of arriving back at the house, the festivities began! There’s no better way to linger and catch up than over a pile of steamed Maryland crabs. We’ll let the pictures tell the story.
oh hell yeah!!! I had steamed crabs at Nicks last Friday and boy did I miss them! Love the shot of the empty crate!
Empty crate says it all!
Growing up we always had crackers (Captain’s Wafers), chunks of cheddar cheese, and dill pickles at our crab feasts. I would sit and pick out tons of crabs to make a little crab meat/cracker sandwich which I topped with the crab mustard (yes, I love the stuff and don’t really care what it is). Then when I was just about to enjoy my little treat my dad would swipe it. I would cry and then start all over again. Luckily we always had plenty of crabs!
omg you know this is my dream? i dream of going to the States and having a newspaper-covered dining room table overflowing with crab, napkin tucked under my chin, and a big grin from ear to ear
Envy is not the word!
That’s what I misss most about my home state and Baltimore, the crabs
Looks like a fun evening. I am sure I would have order the Fried Risotto Balls stuffed with Provolone and Wild “Bore”. Sorry it was the wrong sort of “Boar”. Thanks for visiting SippitySup. GREG
