Old Bay! You are killing me now! I grew up on old bay! Blue Crab baby and beer! One a night may be all I can handle! Thanks Tex! Look forward to tomorrow!

[Hoosier Bob]

Why do I add the old bay twice? Is it layered like on the crabs or do you just like it as much as I do? You know I am going to try this! You guys may make a man out of me yet!

Tex, you need to come to Mag Fest......

[Hoosier Bob]

That $%#@ makes be so dang hungry I could!!!!!!!!! I am trying that recipe tomorrow. Old Bay is sort of scarce around here though. It is an eastern spice, Chesapeake (spelling?).

CHESAPEAKE

Get steamer pot
Put one beer, some water, some cider vinegar in the bottom
Add one layer of live blue crabs
Sprinkle crabs with Old Bay, cayenne pepper, and salt
Add another layer of crabs
Sprinkle again
Repeat until pot is full or you run out of crabs
Put lid on pot
Put pot on stove
Put stove on "high"
Crack open a beer and drink it while the crabs are steaming

Serve with cider vinegar spiked with Old Bay seasoning (do NOT dip the crab meat in butter -- save the butter for the lobsters). Save leftover crabs for crabcakes.

i like alot of old bay in the recipe...i always put extra in and then you want need some at the end to serve it with. i made it on New Years and we had some people who did not like spicy stuff. i put in what the recipe called for and had to sprinkle more over it at the end. if you can't find old bay...just find another shrimp/crawfish boil spice. that recipe is very easy and i prepare everything and put into bags before we go to the lake house. I bust out the turkey fryer and start throwing it together. it is so f'n easy and fun(standing around watching and drinking beer). you finish and everyone thanks that you are the GREATEST!

[Hoosier Bob]

Thanks, All I need now are some crabs. I don't think a chicken neck and some string will work in the ponds around here. I lived in Williamsburg, VA and Baltimore, MD. Blue crabs abound! Not as many in Indiana though.

Jeff, now you can make that TMC recipe book to go along with the calendar.
