a southern crawfish boil.

a couple weekends ago, blakey & i spent a beautiful saturday afternoon outside with the mcgowans. 

we've all been looking for a great patio to frequent & we may have found it.  otey's tavern in crestline village claims to be "the cheers of crestline".  sounds fabulous to me!

this particular saturday began their free crawfish boils!  if you are not from the south, you must quickly learn that crawfish boils are THE thing here.  forget shrimp or crab, crawfish is it.  they do usually involve potatoes & corn & sausage, but this free meal was just the crawfish.  & a ton of crawfish there was.

we all piled high our plates & dug in...

 {this guy was huge!}

i quickly discovered that, although i am not a huge animal person, i cannot eat crawfish!  there was no way i could crack that thing open & suck on its head & eat it.  haha.  who knew?

{blakey & omega}

ogden, on the other hand, loves him some crawfish.  he ate three plate fulls :)  

although the porters are not big crawfish eaters {blakey finished his plate but it turns out it wasn't his favorite either}, we will absolutely be back.  great super spicy wings, fantastic loaded nachos, & the perfect laid back patio were fabulous for us.

& wonderful friends were a plus too.

love love,
kjp.
