And we ate: 2 fresh cracked crabs, butter, little piles of sea salt, 2 whole lemons, raw bitter greens from the garden, italian bread, david bruce pinot. Kids: broccoli, strawberries, fusilli, butter. There were some complaints about "that crabby smell" and someone commented that the crab-eaters "sound like pigs." It was glorious. We missed you.
OOOHHHHHH....
Love you, even with the piggy sounds.
