crawfish boil

Yum. Yum. Yum. Nicely seasoned. 

Some debris in the firepit. 

Washboard, anyone? Anyone?

When all is said and done ... lots of shells. 

The backdrop ... a sleepy part of the Cumberland River. 

Sassy guitar player / crawfish broiler. 

We have company in town this weekend, and decided to check out a place near the water called Norm's River Road House. They had a crawfish boil today with music by various New Orleans artists. 

Good food, good beer, good company, good music. It was a good time, AND (probably most exciting to me) I found out about (and tasted) a brand of andouille that is definitely on my shopping list next time I make gumbo. Super spicy and yum!
