Husband and I went to a crawfish boil (MY FIRST EVER!) yesterday at his friend's house. Imagine my surprise when I showed up to find that someone didn't tell me that only Barbie girls were invited. There were dozens of them - fake boobs, butt hugging shorts, SKINNY little bodies, make-upped-to-within-an-inch-of-their-lives, and fake blonde hair. I felt rather conspicuous in my knee-length shorts, God-given boobs, frizzy hair, and chubby body (although I have to admit that my blonde hair is also not my natural color). Which one of these things is not like the other? ME.
Despite that fact, we had a great time and everyone thought we were cool due to our complete dominance on Rock Band. The main reason we dominated was because the Barbie girls were too scared that they might make a fool of themselves and refused to take up ANY of the instruments. We all know that I have never had that problem...
I also now LOVE crawfish even though peeling them is almost more work than the end result is worth (Husband was a good sport and peeled for me). I also got a LITTLE squeamish at the sight of crawfish carcases engulfing my plate (and NO, I am NOT going to suck the guts out of the head). Too bad I couldn't have one of the proffered beers - it might have made it even better.

I love crawfish boils too! This year we didn't get invited to any so we just hit up Fat Macs. We should go sometime. And, don't worry about the blond bimbos. I'll take frizzy hair over a Barbie any day.
Hey, don't know you either but if Teagan is our connector I know you are stellar. It is rare to find someone who also likes Dumb and Dumber AND Anne of Green Gables. The Kitchen Aide food processor is fab, I find myself processing more veggies than my son could eat in the 18 years I legally get him. Love your blog. Oh, and Barbie has had to spend her entire life on tiptoes so it really can't be envied.
I just went to my first crawfish boil at my sister's graduation in New Orleans. That was WAY too much work for such a little bit of food that comes out. And, what is that nasty yellow stuff inside the crawfish?
