I ate a bunch of these at Jazz Fest. I’m not a huge fan of the crowds and dirt at Jazz Fest, so the crawfish make the thing tolerable. We ate some awesome food outside of Jazz Fest too, including some crawfish at Restaurant August that were loaded with cream and cognac - even better than the usual Old Bay-ish stuff.

Back in DC, Acadiana’s news page says they do crawfish boils every Friday 3:30 to 6:30p on their patio “weather permitting.” So, I guess not today - maybe next week if the weather cooperates. On the phone they said they also do the boils Sundays 2-5p.

Update: Even though the weather looked bad to me they were still boiling crawfish outside and serving them in the bar. We’ve been a few times now - they’re pretty expensive but worth it if you’ve gotta have some crawfish.

This has been a pretty nice cherry blossom season in DC - a little windy but warm enough that they haven’t fallen to the ground early like last year. These were down around the tidal basin, across from the Jefferson Memorial. There are some less crowded spots out around Hains Point, but there’s something about the trees around the tidal basin - the light off the water illuminates the blossoms from below I think. There’s a bus from the parking at Hains Point to the tidal basin this year, so it’s easy enough to see all the trees.

I suppose they were free at work or something, but is saving $5 worth having your neighbors think you’re moving out due to Ebola infection?

I just had to get that ling cod eye moved down the page. This was taken at Brookside Gardens at Wheaton Regional Park, summer 2004. I’m amazed sometimes digging through old photos, proof I need a better way to organize photos…

Another photo from last summer’s ill-fated trip to Alaska. Click on for another, more frightening view of the beast.
