We Have Crabs!

Gotcha with that one didn't I!
Late last Friday afternoon conversation: My mom, "what are you fixing for dinner?'
Me, *sitting at my desk trying in vain to solve all of the worlds problems* "I have no clue."
My mom, "Raley's has crabs."
Me, "Excuse Me?"
My mom, "On sale, Raley's have crabs on sale this week."
Me, "oh, that's nice, but I don't want to have to go the store after work." *I'm lazy*
My mom, "Countrychick and I can go right now and be back before five."
Me, "Hmmm, okay, here's a list of items to pick up to go along with those crabs."
And off they go to buy crab....crab that was on sale.
"Hello, my name is Louie and I will be your dinner tonight."Countrychick, "mom, why are you talking in a French accent and pretending your the crab?"
Me, "because I'm tired and weird like that, now pour me some more wine!"
Countrychick, "well that doesn't explain anything." *insert laughing*
Me, "stop making fun of me and get to crack'in!"
Countrychick, "excuse me, you want me to do what?" *insert raised eyebrow* (I hate it when she does that because I can't!)
Me, "I said start crack'in that crab."Countrychick, "I refuse to crack the crab because you made it talk and gave it a French accent."
Guess who won that argument...( Holy Crabtastrophy Batman, that's a lot of crack'in and pick'in)

Just thought you'd like to look at a pretty food photo after seeing that mess above...*grin*
Dinner is served...fresh crab, salad, homemade cocktail sauce and french bread.
(wait, I didn't eat the french bread...I can't. That's a story for a different day though)
We enjoyed our crabs! *insert wink and big smile*
