CRABPOT JACKPOT!

After Bill took Alice ashore Sunday to go to church he put out our crab pot... with 3 chicken thighs as bait. Several hours later he pulled it and, much to our surprise, found 10-11 crabs in it! (We could never decide whether there were 10 or 11...) After throwing back the females and the small ones, we had five nice males to cook up!  They were big enough that we could only do two at a time, so it took a while.  Then came the job of getting to the meat.  Dorothy and Alice worked a while, and then we ate dinner.  Dorothy finished the rest of the job Monday morning. So far we have had CRAB, crab cakes, and will use the rest for a crab and pasta dish Alice plans on fixing and a unique version of a Denver omelet that we have decided to call the Haines omelet, in honor of the location of our first big catch!This one is almost 11 inches across!
