CRAB!

Windy, chilly day today! The cold front from California has settled in solidly. It was only supposed to last a day, but now they are predicting it'll be here all week. It's nice during the day when the sun is shining, but the minute the sun goes down, it's cold!

The new floor robot, Bob, was fully charged this morning, so we turned him loose on the floor. It's amazing how much dust and fuzz it picks up. We finally blocked off the bedroom as we couldn't seem to teach him not to go down the side of the bed and get stuck there. It's breath-holding to watch him approach right to the edge of the front steps and back off.

I was going to put a pork roast in the oven for us tonight when Forry remembered tonight was a Crab Feed night over at the casino. We picked Dennis and Colleen up a little after five and headed over to the Red Rock Buffet over at the Fort McDowell Casino. Colleen and Dennis had to stop and get a Fortune Club cards, which gave them $5 each off on the crab dinner.

They changed things around at the buffet from last year. There are now servers at a station that give out the crab halves. Last year, they were at a serve yourself table and people would load their own plates, rummaging through the pans looking for the largest legs and sometimes piling their plates almost a foot high. This change seemed to work much more smoothly. You got your three to four halves, then they gave you a cup of melted butter from a large urn.

The Queen Crabs were delicious! We all ate until we were full. I ended up cracking crab for both Forry and Dennis, Forry said I was cracking it faster than he could eat it!
