crableg night

i'm so excited, tomorrow is crableg night at Jumpin' Catfish although it's changed a few time since it's conception, the purpose of crableg night remains the same.... to hang out with friends and eat as many crablegs as you can stand! our tradition started in college between three girls, m. k. and myself. back then we referred to ourselves as buttercup, blossom and bubbles... (there's a fun reference with that). we'd meet at one of our places, with extra large pots and boil lots of crablegs and shrimp, it was sooooo good!

when m. moved away k. and i kept up the tradition, with a few variants of going out for crabs since it was easier to not have to clean up afterwards. just once in the last 3 years have the three of us been together and enjoyed the original tradition, meeting at k.'s house. my last visit to see m. we enjoyed some tasty crabs (and carmie was there too)! k. and i's latest plan is to conveniently meet at the jumpin' catfish location in olathe or lee's summit and dine on all you can eat crablegs for $19.99. yep, you read it. $19.99 and they're fresh and tasty! if we bought as many crablegs as we eat there it would cost us $50 a piece to make them ourselves. so the tradition is now on thursday nights... i'm soooooooo ready!

update... no crabs tonight... postponed til feb. 1.
