How do you explain the taste sensation associated with a crawfish boil? For me, this was my first. I’ve been to New Orleans and had crawfish in a restaurant but that’s not at all the same. There’s something to be said about being outside and experiencing the process up-close and personal.

Thanks for some locals here with roots that are south of New Orleans, this crawfish boil here in Franklin, Tennessee was a great way to set the bar high right from the start for me.

I will admit, one of the difficult tasks is digging in with both hands while also trying to manage a camera and a 5, 3 and 2 year old. Making things even a little more precarious was that our 2 year old is allergic to shell fish and he was eying these tasty morsels all afternoon. I’ll give 99% of the credit to Amy for watching after the boys and particularly Matthew while I mingled with my camera in hand.

I’m sharing the following link to over a hundred shots for those who wish to print out for personal use. Click here to order prints via Costco or view slide show. (side note about the photos … the resolution is good enough for 4 x 6 prints.)

A big thanks to everyone for such a fun and tasty event. Thanks to the Murray’s for the invite. I hope we behaved in such a manner that garners an invite for next year.
