Another First for the Season

Yes, those are soft shell crabs. Frank - pictured below with his sidekick, Butch - brought a dozen into the kitchen today, with instructions for us to pick the six we wanted and he'd take the other half home to his wife to cook. Wow, what a surprise! Guess what I am having for lunch tomorrow? on a chibatta roll. with plenty of mayo. I can't wait! The rest of you might have to wait a few more weeks, eh?

Frank and Butch come on Thursday with the best seafood they can find in the market. They get a tall cup of coffee while they are here, and sometimes they leave with a loaf of hot bread under their arms. They are good people.
