Here a 🦀, there a 🦀.

Every Thanksgiving I’m asked to bring my Crab Toasties appetizer. And since I rarely make them at home because my husband doesn’t like crabmeat… I’m happy to oblige.

It’s a treat that takes a good chunk of 💰 seeing that fresh crabmeat is currently $30 a pound and I doubled the batch and needed two pounds, but holidays are made for splurging.

Use fresh crabmeat… do not, I repeat DO NOT! use canned… here’s the recipe.

It’s quick, easy to make and oh so yummy.

Telemarketers have gotten clever over the past few years. They spoof actual businesses and use real people’s names with local numbers to trick you into answering.

It’s like they’re not even trying anymore.

Covid warnings, Maine style.

Deer and fading backyard foliage, just because.

Damn.

I knew I shouldn’t have let my National Geographic subscription expire. Slutty ostriches would have been a good read.

Deep fried pickled asparagus is not my idea of an acceptable appetizer, but they’re very popular at our local pub right now.

This describes our current weather quite well. Something for everyone.

And finally, fluffle.

Because we all need a tad more cuteness in our life right about now.
