Frog legs and other delicacies

After a slow and relaxing day of sleeping in and finding some books at Half Price Books, we had a smorgasbord for supper. It started with shrimp scampi and fried shrimp (I must remember to add cornmeal to the flour - it makes all of the difference). Mark tried his hands at making hushpuppies- rather dense, but not bad. Mom made boiled snow crab with a little extra cyanne for a kick - the meat was so tender, I can't believe that I never liked them before. Dad prepared the frog legs rather like chicken (although they were soaked in salt water first). They were great, but they don't taste like chicken. The only weird thing was the tiny dark veins throughout the white meat- I recommend not looking at what you are eating, because the taste is great! We were all stuffed. Mission accomplished :)
