    Let’s put it another way. “ they weren’t bad” costs 75.00 +, at anywhere even remotely decent. Personally, if they aren’t dry as shoe leather (appears not), it’s a M-F win and 60 still in the wallet. All told, does not suck.

    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    @poster Great shot right there.  How was the socarrat? 
    Related- @SciAggie - offered up a great way to nail the finish-fork tines scraped across the bottom of the pan.  Assess the resistance relative to the socarrat feel and when right, declare victory.

    I’m not generally a dessert guy, but I made mention of a hankering for something sweet and she delivered. Microwave brownie with vanilla ice cream.

    We had some crawfish left over from the crawfish boil a few weeks ago so I saved the tails. Made some crawfish fettuccine for dinner tonight!




    Question: Are you able to buy 'bug tails pre-shelled, or did you shell those yourself after the boil?  
    I bought a 2-lb bag of crawdads at the Commissary last year, but they were pre-boiled and still whole; by the time I'd cleaned them it was a meager single meal for one....

    It was present, but had to scrape the pan. Not sure if it would have released with a bit more time, or I didn't have enough oil in the bottom when sautéing the tomatoes.

    @poster- The key is that when there with the socarrat it does not release.  It is the light crunchy and resistance feel as you pull the tines thru the rice.  Sounds like you were there given the scraping action.
    The trick is to catch that feel before the rice burns and really sticks to the pan.
    Oh, if it were easy-like nailing a brisket finish...

    @Botch Yea you can buy packs of just tail meat, which would be A LOT easier than peeling your self. The ones I’ve seen are vacuum sealed. I filled up maybe 1/3 of a gallon ziplock with the meat I peeled, and that probably took me about 20 minutes or so. And yea 2lbs of whole crawfish don’t go a long way. I believe they suggest about 5lbs for an average person but that’s also with corn, sausage, etc.

    Worse than that. 7.5-8# crawfish to yield 1# of tailmeat
