Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

My entire family except for me (alas, no seafood) would be right there for that feast. When you showed your crab-feast at a holiday occasion, your table-scape was absolute perfection, and all the linens pristine and beautiful, and I had visions of buttery fingers and crabby smears on SOMETHING, even with my group on their VERY BEST manners.
ReplyDeleteThat was much like my astonishment at Martha Stewart's serving of whole lobsters with crackers and picks at an absolutely exquisite tented wedding lunch, with all the guests in such lovely fashions and the bridesmaids in pale teal charmeuse slip dresses. I saw only the BEFORE, and wonder how that went.
We're a fairly tidy group, but most of our shrimp or crab boils are relegated to the back yard, with lengths of newspaper-over-visquine down the length of the table, and great kettles of shrimp, crab, corn, potatoes, kielbasa, chicken, baby carrots and onions drained and piled higgledy-piggeldy on huge platters amongst scattered lemon halves, bowls of sauces and coleslaw and loaves of bread.
Then heaps of rolled lemon-water towels steamy from the microwave are passed out just before dessert.
I think your arrangement is simply marvelous and beautiful, and think we'll have just that when our guests arrive first of June, with lots of lemony towels, of course. Lovely idea.

Gorgeous pictures. It looks so simple. Great idea for Mother's Day. Joni
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this! I happen to love King crab legs and I often see them at Costco. When I lived in Southern Ca. there waas aa favorite restaurant I went to, that served these beauties. I will give this a try....Your photyos are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYummmy! I could eat that right now! Thanks for the detailed directions I'm going to do this !
ReplyDeleteThat just looks so good! We had King Crab legs on Sunday at Mothers' Day brunch and they were very well-received! I am glad to have the tip about reheating them in the grill - great idea.
ReplyDeleteThey're our go-to formal meal too Jackie. I have never done them on the grill though. Great idea. I love the crab so much, I put up with the smell. Hope things are well with you.
ReplyDeleteI have a package of crab legs in the freezer so this is perfect timing! And I prefer that my house doesn't smell crabby :-) Will be trying this!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, these crab legs are divine! Gorgeous photos!
