re: Cleaning lump crab meat

Is there a secret to cleaning the shells out of crab meat? I sit there and pick through it all and it’s a pain in the arse and ineviteably there are still some shells that people almost choke on. Am I unrealistic to think that a $50 container of lump crab meat should have less shells in it?


It’s one pint of crabmeat. Picking through it is part of using the ingredient, not an unreasonable ask.
As much as I hate that I’ve sat next to a table full of smokers quite a lot in my lifetime and that was horrible.

I grill speckled trout and found the best way is to not have the grill scorching hot. Medium hot to hot and a clean well oiled grate

I brush melted butter or olive oil on one side of the fish and lightly season with salt only.

Then I season the other side however I want no oil.

Then grill it only on the one side until cooked through. You might need to close the grill towards the end for a minute or two to let it finish.

Then remove and plate grill side up.

Works great and much less likely to break apart.

Or flip it and let it break up and use on the salad in lieu of crabmeat. Which I’ve done a few times before I tried this way.

We are letting it happen and have little to no interest to stop it.

Thanks a democrat[/

Western civilization isn’t being “torn down by the third world,” and it certainly isn’t the work of one political party. What we’re seeing is the result of decades of bipartisan policy failures, corporate capture, and leaders on both sides choosing short-term power, profit, and cultural outrage over serious governance.

Civilizations don’t collapse because people arrive or because one party wins an election- they weaken when institutions are neglected, accountability disappears, and blame replaces responsibility.

This didn’t happen overnight, and it didn’t come from outside. It came from leaders who stopped governing and people who accepted the excuse-making.


No. It is fine and will be fine. Leave it uncovered if you like and let it dry out some.

I’ve left them for probably 3 weeks at least before.
Staub Sale

Staub puts this 4qt on sale each November and we buy them for Christmas gifts and keep a couple in the closet for gifts during the year.

It’s a great small Dutch oven for a great price. It will perfectly fit a whole chicken to roast which we do probably twice a month. It’s a perfect size to make a nice soup or pot of beans and it doesn’t take up a lot of space or too heavy.

I have both Staub and LeCreuset and like both but use this one more than any. I have an 8 qt LeCreuset that my wife uses a lot for bigger things and I have the 14 quart Staub for Christmas gumbos and I use it as a sous vide pot too.

But this 4 quart is one everyone should have and it will get plenty of work.

I’ve posted it here at this time probably for the last ten years and plenty but it.

It’s the same price on most websites and some colors are 139 some 149. I like the truffle and the French blue. Great wedding gifts because they aren’t expensive and will last a lifetime.

Hear Hear!

I enjoy reading old threads. Didn’t even notice until I saw Gris Gris post
That’s a 2 year bump. Impressive.

I use the chili for our chili dog party. Good stuff.

You didn’t misunderstand my sarcasm.
You revealed you don’t have the mental stability required to handle it.

I mean it went over your head but you sure found a way to dig a ditch and crawl under it.

That’s talented.


That’s easy now. It’s December. Wait until
June and they have to cut their own grass.

I was offered a job to work at the National Baseball Hall of Fameby Boston Bean MakerMy problem is the salary they offered was too low. My offer was between 60K and 70K - and they want me to start on a salary of 40K. It’s a full time job within their research and library center. What would you guys do?

That’s a lot of traveling for someone who never leaves their imagination. It must be exhausted - but it seems like your fictional character has had a great year.

I don’t think you are pretending to be impressive. I think you are pretending to exist. Sad.

I would feel sorry for you if you weren’t such an insufferable dick.

Well I guess bluntness is called for.

What if Lane Kiffin shits the bed and does not perform, make playoffs, go 7-5 and rolls into year 5 with a performance along the lines of Brian Kelly?

Does some software alum write a check (again) for in the neighborhood of $50m, a jackass governor rants and raves (again) about stupid contacts, buyouts and Verges agent (again) fire the AD and they start over?

Or are liquidated damages built in for non-performance?

I’ve been around this board long enough to know that after Kiffins first LSU loss the resident water heads will be ready to run him out of Baton Rouge on a rail.

Just wait a couple of months when LSU baseball loses an SEC series and see the retards declare Jay Johnson not capable of coaching T Ball (yes-again)

Oh and it will happen.
