It was a long drive today - and the last part took much longer than usual. All the rentals here start and end on Saturday, so the congestion is incredible. We've found back roads to take around some of the worst parts of it, but still have to get back into the mainstream. And it's SO slow. Oh, well - we're here, and we can hear the ocean, and the breeze is lovely. Some went in the water, but most of us had to work at putting stuff up and getting to the groceries.
John and I cleaned the crabs and got them cooked and onto ice. Then we boiled the shrimp and put them on ice. Blue cheese dressing, chili con queso, lemon/butter sauce, and red sauce. Cut up the veggies and we're ready to eat! By the time today's arrivals got here, it was nearly 7, so we had a late dinner.
We had enough shrimp left over that I mixed up the stuff to make Pat Conroy's pickled shrimp. We'll see how that goes over tomorrow.
You've figured out what we do at the beach - we eat, and when we're not eating, we talk about food, or prepare food. And we do love the shrimp and crabs.
It is so good to see all the family and our good friends again. It's been a long day, and I'm really tired.
Today's picture is of the sunflower. Tomorrow will be a beach picture for sure.
