Crawfish Boil

On Tuesday night our team was invited to a crawfish boil at the home of one of our sponsors. The Project Homecoming staff usually get together to socialize with one another on Tuesdays after work. We arrived fashionabley late which was only because we got lost for about 45 minutes. One of our many adventures in the van. However, the timing worked out perfectly because when we arrived Mark was just pulling out the first batch of crawfish. We ate outside on their pouch, with a fan blowing overhead and the smell of seafood in the air. On the menu for the evening was crawfish along with corn, baby potatoes, garlic, onion, and sausage boiled in a spicy cajun mix. We also enjoyed bread to help cut some of the spiciness. The tables were covered with newspaper which is where the food was spread for all of us to enjoy. We received a quick lesson on how to eat the crawfish, which look like mini lobsters. Dinner was delicious and we enjoyed getting to know our sponsors better in a setting outside of the worksite.
