Let my inner Cajun be released...

Well, lets just say...our INNER cajun came on out! We were treated to a fun and yummy treat this weekend. Our first ever...Craw-Fish Boil (most of us at the dinner had never had craw fish). We thouroughly enjoyed both the feast and the company. Our friends the Brewer's, invited us and 2 other couples over for some sweet fellowship and cajun fixins!

It was quite the undertaking for Brent and Abbey. They were the host and hostess, with the mostess! There are many steps to the feast...including getting the crawfish ALIVE and prepping, seasoning and then boiling them. The feast included some southern Paula Dean style dirty rice, corn on the cobb, new potatoes and sausage. It really was an impressive meal and the perfect occasion to really enjoy preparing and devouring a meal. There is something so fun and primitive about eating with your hands.

Below are some pics from the evening. Hope you enjoy them, and maybe even get inspired to release your inner cajun, too!
