Chasing my childhood.

As a kid, my parents took me to the National Zoo almost every weekend. Today we spent one of our first weekends back in Maryland doing the exact same thing.

The treasure of the Chesapeake – the blue crab. I remember going down to the bay with my mother and buying 2 bushels of these guys straight from the fisherman. At home, the table would be covered with a thick layer of newspapers, everyone would get a nutcracker and a mallet and we would have the most glorious messy dinners ever. We’d hand the orange roe over to Mom who would gobble it down..

  1. Hi rebecca – we got it at the Rett study at Johns Hopkins. It’s called a “no-no” and it’s by prescription only. Can you believe it? Did you get my last email about all the details of the study?

  2. Yes, I still remember the crab parties. It is JHU tradition. I saw news about JHU graduates at Chicago. They FEX some live crabs to a restraint and had get together party. The restraint used white tablecloth and later JHU person told them to remove the white cloth and replaced with newspaper. I love crab and the orange stuff

  3. OMG, I get behind on my blog reading for a few weeks, and you go and move *even closer* to me??? From being secret yarn exchange buddies half a world apart to basically living in the same city–that is so cool! Glad you guys are enjoying reliving all the fun things you used to do!
