Day Two Hundred Fifty-Four: Llano Crawfish Open

I have been to many shrimp boils, but I haven't ever been to a crawfish boil. And, while I have eaten crawfish in dishes like etouffee before, I have never eaten a whole in-the-shell crawfish (though I have dissected one because I'm interesting like that). So, I was excited that we had the chance to attend the Llano Crawfish Open today and get a couple of "flats" of crawfish. Getting to the meat was a bit intimidating at first, but after a few, I got pretty good at it and found the meat to be delicious if tiny. It was such a great experience, and I'm glad I have it on my First list.
