Good news! My leg soreness has finally started to subside. After work I went to the gym and completed the 3-2-1 treadmill workout I’ve become obsessed with and rolled out my quads and hamstrings with a foam roller. I really think the foam roller worked wonders. In fact, Julie just wrote a quick post about foam rolling. Check it our if you’re interested.
I’m finally starting to walk normally again, thank goodness!
Now, let’s make the natural transition to talking about crab. The food. I had my first experience with crab this week. Real crab. Staring at you in the face, crab. Have you ever had it?
We had a fun double date with our good friends, Matt and Maura. John and I have tried to go to Fish Bar a few times, but the wait is always very long. And, it’s a fairly expensive restaurant. So, until this week, we’ve never had the opportunity to go.
But this week we reserved a table for Fish Bar’s first Crab Boil. It came with a pretty hefty price tag, but it was all you can eat crab, vegetables, drinks and dessert ๐ Perfect!
Good thing we had Maura there with us. She’s from Maryland and knows all about crab. I, on the other hand, needed some instruction.
We were served bowls and bowls of crab.
I enjoyed the “crab experience.” Seeing as grapes are my favorite fruit because there is no “work” involved to eat them, cracking crab to find small bites of crab meat doesn’t necessarily go hand in hand with my general selection of “easy” foods. It takes a lot of work to get to the crab meat, and I don’t know that you could ever really get full off of crab. I would feel such a sense of accomplishment when I found a lump piece of crab meat (which happened about once per crab).
It was a fun activity to do with friends. If you have the chance, I would definitely recommend it.
Talking about crab takes me back to my high school graduation open house.
Ha! Check out that picture! Blast from the past!
My friend, Kaitlin, and I had a joint party at my house, and her mom made the best crab salad I have ever had. It was obviously delicious, considering seven years later I am still thinking about it. I will have to get that recipe to share with all of you!
Happy Wednesday, everyone! The week is halfway over ๐ And, I’ve got homemade chicken noodle soup cooking in the crock pot. I didn’t follow a recipe, so here’s to hoping it turns out!

Are your favorite foods ones you “work for,” like crab, or “easy foods,” like grapes?
Hilarious picture. We look great. My mom will be SO excited about her shout-out! I’ll get you the recipe ASAP.
I knew you’d appreciate it ๐
