Tomorrow is the 4th annual Ross seafood boil. We started out as a 2020 COVID-19 gathering, as everything was closed, it was a way for my circle of friends to get together and enjoy life. This event has turned into a large annual event with several families.

I spent all afternoon noon preparing. From patio cleaning, to splitting wood, to yard work, to cleaning out the garage, I am beyond tired. But everything is ready. All seafood and other ingredients have been bought. Maybe I'll add my recipe to nostr.cooking later... πŸ‘€

Snow crab legs

Littleneck clams

Muscles

Shrimp

Kielbasa

Potatoes

Corn

Onions

Leeks

Wine

We'll have lots of other seafood sides too. l'll be steaming cherrystone clams on the grill and my mother is making clam chowder. A friend is making bacon wrapped scallops.

Here's a photo from last year. It was raining, but that didn't stop us from having the event in my garage!

How was your day Nostr? πŸ«‚

Traditions like these are awesome. The best part, you started it during a time of seeming despair. It’s never too late to start good traditions.

Today we took the dog for a walk, made eggs for breakfast, went to support a friend at a church event, fixed the dryer exhaust hose, fixed two toilet seats, and watched my Texas Longhorns 🀘lose a heartbreaker to OU. Looking forward to date night tonight!

Awesome. An eventful day for you too. I replaced all of our toilet seats a couple of months ago as well πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Amazing! Did you use bay seasoning?

I don't add it to the boil, but put it on my plate. Others do too.

Sooo goood

Wrapped up a food drive for a local animal shelter. Filled their supplies for awhile, but doesn't sound nearly as fun as your plans.

Your day was very rewarding in a different way. πŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ«‚

It was. I'm just glad to be able to help out where needed.

Epic looking boil. Enjoy Sundays gathering.

This looks amazing!

I see you’re practicing for the recipe intro πŸ˜… looks great though mate, have fun πŸ€™
