Flagstaff Fais-Do-Do

My brother and his girlfriend Lisa, who have been living in New Orleans for the past 2 years, came to Arizona and threw a crawfish party in beautiful Flagstaff. First, Chris arrived at the Phoenix airport with 45 lbs of crawfish, which were over the weight limit for baggage, but he convinced the airport agent with the brilliant explanation "they're crawdads, man".

Crazy Crawfish Chris

Chris cooked up the bugs with a delicious array of spices and vegetables, including onions, halved garlic, potatoes, carrots, sweet corn and brussel sprouts.

Pretty, huh?

And then we ate....and ate....and ate. No utensils required (or allowed).

And after 20lbs or so, eating gave way to just staring at the food.....and the people who continued eating!

Andy, Lisa and Trish look on, too full to eat another bug.
