Tonight's Dinner: May 12, 2012

For Mother's Day this year Christopher and I decided to cook for my Mom since we couldn't think of anything that she really needed and/or wanted.  What we do know is that she loves seafood and that the simpler the better.  This was the first time I've ever killed the crabs myself.  I was very proud.  Usually cooking the crabs is my Dad's job, but I took on the challenge this time around.  To make the crabs feel a little bit better, I sang the Little Mermaid to them before they hit the pot of boiling water to their deaths.

We also popped open a really nice bottle of champagne that was given to my parents for their 40th anniversary.  It was pretty sweet and crisp.
