HINTS ON CLEANING
CRAWFISH: Since these creatures live in the mud, it is important to clean them
properly or you will have mud in your food!
1. Wash well with fresh water.
2. Soak them in a saltwater bath for about 8 minutes to purge them of mud.
3. Rinse well in a colander and you are ready to cook them.
EATING CRAWFISH:
Once they are boiled, you break off the head and suck out the wonderful
juices. Don't pay attention if people are watching-they are just jealous. Then,
crack the tail from the belly side and peel it off. Devein the meat, if you are
one of those, and enjoy. Use your thumb to remove the yellow liver and fat from
the head. Crack the claws with your teeth and draw out the meat. This is just
great eating!
I forgive myself for having believed for so long that... I was
never good enough to have, get, be what I wanted.
