crab feed!

the more i try not to write about food, the more that i end up writing about food.

one of the great things about being back in california for the holidays is that i got to attend my cousin celia‘s annual crab feed.

crab might be my very favorite food of all time. i like it prepared hong kong typhoon style, or chinese style with ginger and oil or in fried rice (in the philippines, or the thai restaurant in rat alley in hong kong) but what i like the best is dungeness (off the north american pacific coast from san francisco north to vancouver) straight boiled and eaten plain. really. it’s the best, and celia’s crab feed is the best opportunity to fill myself full of crab.

not crab, but prime rib – for those non-crab eaters.

crab death is in the near future:

chinese sticky rice with chinese preserved sausage

actually since i’m here, i’ll get to take in another crab feed in two weekends. yum yum yum.
