Easter Lunch

Happy April Fool's Day!  L and her boyfriend are safely back at school, I miss them already.  It was a busy and wonderful weekend.  We had a lovely Easter dinner on Saturday with M's extended family.  Everyone showed up this year, it was fun to see the little toddlers playing.  L had spent the morning with her boyfriend's extended family and it was great that it worked out that he could also spend some time with them.

I took my mom for a Seafood lunch after her appointment with the cardiologist last Thursday. We love crab and lobster so we had a great (if messy) time digging in.  We decided it was our Easter Lunch.  The Hong Kong style fried crab was an interesting dish.  I asked the waitress why it was 2 or 3 dollars more than the other fried crab dish.  She said this dish had small fish as well.  So those aren't fries on top of the dish.  Can you see the eyes in the second photo?  Well, they were yummy.  Anything fried is yummy.  I think I should order more steamed crab dishes next time and less fried.  Needless to say I just had soup and a salad for dinner that day.

Looks good, but I won't eat crab and lobster unless they are peeled for me. Too darn messy, otherwise.
