Going Away Party For Paula & Kumen Continued

So Paula got accepted into Dental Hygienist School in Dallas Texas, and it came time for them to finally move. However do you think they couldn't have left without having a party of all parties with all o their loved ones sharing in the fun? Paula and Kumen were able to get a hold of some fresh Crayfish and that started the menu for our BBQ Going Away Party. (more pictures from previous post)


When we got the crayfish at the house the first thing that had to be done was they needed to be flushed clean. I think we filled and emptied this cooler about 15 times before we started cooking them. As the water level got higher all the crayfish wanted to do was swim around and apparently be the ones on the top. I would have thought they would want to be on the bottom to live a little bit longer. Then again they didn't know what we were going to do with them.



And the cooking begins. As Kumen and dad start up the steamer kettles to cook get a start on the potatoes, corn, and onions before the crayfish was added. They only needed a few minutes in the heat. We also had some awesome chicken cooked by who else other then mom, and Paula added some vegetables to the BBQ to add some color and healthiness.



Paula found a website online that would ship Crayfish to any location in the US, and of course she couldn't pass this up. The main dish at the party were the crayfish and everything else just became a side. I have never even tried lobster I was really worried about trying crayfish, and knew that I would ever love it or hate it. Well lest just say I had one and don't think I will have another anytime soon :)



Lastly I just wanted to say thank you to all those that came out to support Paula and Kumen on their move to Texas and to celebrate with us during this wonderful goodbye party.
