Today I was out getting my Mane Tamed ;) by the oh so fabulous Lorraine, owner of Lorraine Aprile Salon in Old Town and on my way home I stopped to pick up our crabbie dinner, 2lbs of Dungeness Crab and 1lb of Snow Crab. Sort of a crab taste test evening. I wanted King Crab legs but all they had we ones that were still frozen and I didn't feel like waiting over night for them to thaw in the fridge. I'm hungry now dammit!
As you know, eating crab can be a bit messy and since the weather was perfect in the late afternoon we moved our delish meal to the porch! It was so much fun. I felt like royalty sitting on the porch of our ghetto apartment building listening to commuters drive by on their way home to TV dinners after a long day in the hamster wheel. Aw, now this is the life baby.
This is one half of a Dungee with a side of clarified butter! Doesn't it look delish? The clarified butter is sooooo very easy to make. The recipe also came from Alton Brown's show. The butter really does make all the difference. As for the taste test results...
We both felt that the snow crab legs tasted slightly sweeter but they are a lot juicier/messier and a little harder to get to the meat. The Dungees have a great taste and the meat is WAY easier to get to and there's a lot more of it. So if we had to choose between the two I think we would both go for the Dungee. The price was only a few cents difference between the two, Dungees being slightly more expensive but totally worth it.
So there you have it. Friday at Casa Mohler and Life is Good. What did you have for dinner?

Yum! May have to try them now! Thanks!
We had cheese tortellini with pesto. One of my favorites, and it takes no time - definite bonus!
