So what do you do with a bowl full of crawdads?

Well...

you bring them home and pick out the littlest ones to give a new home to.

welcome home, little fella!  I hope you enjoy it here!

The rest of them...you dump some salt on, and then rinse, rinse, rinse them off....

and then toss them one by one into a pot of seasoned, boiling water.  Make sure the corn and other veggies are already 'bout done when you toss these fellas in.

Then you wait patiently...it honestly only takes a minute...

and then you dump the drained pot on a table cloth...

and then you play with them a bit and pose them on your plate...

or study it a little bit trying to decide what to do next...

 

then you peel 'em...

oh, and pose with your "big guy" again...

and then you wonder if this is REALLY what you want to be doing...

 

and then you eat 'em!
