2011/056: Kemah
Our little getaway to Houston included a trip to Kemah on Saturday afternoon. First order of business were going to the seafood markets (not many of them left after Hurricane Ike a few years ago, but several are in the process of rebuilding) to buy crabs for dinner. We left them to hang out in the cooler with some ice, while we went to the Boardwalk. We didn’t stay very long, because it was very crowded. It was foggy, too, and when the sun wasn’t peeking through the clouds, pretty chilly, too.

how did you cook the crabs? didn’t you stay in a hotel?
looking at these made me realize what I hate most about winter and that’s no color. Lovely shades of blue, it may have been cold but you can’t tell from the pics!

Yes, we stayed at a hotel, but we chose one with a kitchenette. Greg brought a pot and crab seasoning, and steamed them.

These pictures remind me of warmer days. I can’t wait until the next time I get to smell the salty air.
Do you buy the crabs live, like lobsters?

Crabs sound so good! Did you cook them? How did you do it? I love the pic of them!

Thanks Amy. I didn’t cook them, Greg did (he steamed them).

That must have been a nice getaway. I’m a sucker for an ocean shot foggy or not.

Thanks! Me, too! Too bad Kemah doesn’t have a beach.

Looks like fun! The crab photo is neat with the one holding onto the other! Starcrossed lovers perhaps?? 😉

Nah, more like ripping each others legs/claws off 😉

Nice crabs. 🙂 That one’s my favorite of course, but the sailboats are pretty sweet!! The mariachi band is just fun. 🙂

Funny, we have some similar photos. Seafood, water, boats and I found a wooden mariachi band. I like the sailboats.
