My Favorite Food

Published on Monday, October 15, 2012 by Katherine

How do you pick? Sushi. Angel Food cake with seven minute icing. Dolmades. There are so many!

Favorite foods often boil down to where you eat the food and with whom, don’t you think? When I think of these foods, I think of moments in time when I ate them with people I love.

One of my favorite food memories involves sitting at the picnic table on the beach house deck. The table is covered by newspaper.

On the newspaper you will find nutcrackers, ice-cold beer and a big bowl of potato chips. At the center of the table is a huge pan of steamed blue crabs. There are bowls of melted butter, of vinegar and of Old Bay Seasoning.

Family members are elbow to elbow, laughing, talking, watching for wildlife and patiently cracking crab after crab.

As of this afternoon, I had yet to find a picture representing my favorite food. Or at least one of them. Until the moment my son looked in the belly of the fish he was cleaning and voila, I had my picture. How could I not laugh aloud?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you one of my favorite foods… although not quite in the form I prefer it!

BLUE CRAB!
