What the heck are you going to do with over 500 pounds of crab?!?!

Time for a party

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

OK, y'all, I'm outta here. I have to go to Sam's to get gatorade for DS's BB team this Saturday..I am snack mom for that day..I volunteered so I could get it over with..Then it's over to Walmart to return the strawberries that they 1) overcharged me for and 2) have already started to rot after less than two days.. Thne I may run over to Ulta..I am not a make up shopper, but my stuff is on sale so I will see what's up there. I may go to the mall and just go ahead and pay retail for a new purse. I am not a fashionista or designer type person, but since I never buy clothes I like to have a nice purse..Dooney and Bourke or Coach. I have a feeling I will choke at retail prices on those. I am used to outlets, and my DSIL used to be able to get me half off D&B through her pro shop at her golf club . The last time I did that it took me 6 months to get my purse.. I may also get myslef a new pair of sneakers..again, they gotta be NIKE, I like the way they feel. I buy those at Rack Room for no more than $40.

I have a feeling I will be coming home with a case of gatorade, a jumbo bag of tortilla chips and a gallon of nacho cheese sauce, and that's it.


Will report back later, y'all be good..maybe you can something for us to have fun with today, it's been a long time since I had a nice slice of Pie.

What the heck are you going to do with over 500 pounds of crab?!?! They'll be crawling all over your car, your house, biting your fingers and toes. LMAO, I can see you standing on a chair, with a pair of tongs trying to to get the devils in the cook pot!!

Get IN the pot, you filthy crab

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

Don't you feel bad when they get that way...not really sick, but not their "bouncing off the walls" hyper selves. I feel bad because I am happy for the quiet...then I realize it's because my kiddo is sick..then I feel guilty..

Shore, I have been wondering how this crab thing goes with you. Do you get your crabs live and cook them at your place? Or do they come to you already cooked? And your workers just hammer and pick out the meat, then you send it to restaurants or a cannery? Tell me more, tell me more.


BTW, I hope your day gets better, it sounds like it's off to a crappy start..blame it on DH.

I am REALLY happy that he's just chilling on the couch watching TV. Ecstatic, even!! But yes, I feel guilty that his upset tummy is making me happy.

All our crabs are live. The Health Department has some strict rules on how things have to be handled. Live crabs have bacteria and other things, so live crabs must be kept in a seperate cooler than cooked crabs. And they have special rules on the cooking process, and each and every time you cook, it has to be documented, to make sure you cooked it right, and killed all the bacteria. (My cooker has to be inspected by a certified expert at least once a year to make sure the steam box is doing the proper job.) Cooked crabs are moved to a different cooler, where they have to remain at 34 - 38 degrees (that temp is too cold for any bacteria or anything to live in, so it's a double way of making sure there's no bacteria). The cold crabs are taken from the cooler and set in front of the picker. The picker cuts the crab in a way that gives them access to all the meat. The crabs can only stay out for a small period of time. The crabs are put on the table, picked out into a crab meat container, weighed, checked for shell, and packaged in a box of ice before 3 hours is up. Again, this is to keep the temperature low so that no bacteria is present in the crab meat. This process also has to be documented -- you have to keep track of every "batch" of crabs brought out from the cooler and how long it took you to get the meat from those crabs on ice.

You also have to document cooler temperatures, for the cooked crab cooler and the crab meat cooler, and check for the presence of ice on the crab meat multiple times a day.

We get inspected by the Health Department at least once a month. We also get inspected by the state at least twice a month. We also have to have our water and drainage tested once a month.

That's 4 times a month I get inspected, at least. A restaurant can go years without seeing an inspector, but I have to go through it at least 4 times a month.

Restaurants are inspected by the county, and the county is understaffed and underfunded, so that's the excuse they use for never inspecting restaurants.

One time, there was a birds nest with little eggs in it OUTSIDE the factory, and the inspector made me take it down, because it was "unsanitary". Broke my heart! I told them that I had been in Super WalMart the other day and they had birds sitting on rafters above the deli, and asked what would be done about that. That's when they told me about the restaurants and delis are county jurisdiction.

Well since there are no takers for going grocery shopping for me, I guess I need to get my bootie in gear and get ready to go.
Be back later. You all behave

Pick up some coffee creamer for me, will ya? I went with the Diet Mtn. Dew this AM for my caffeine fix since the coffee just isn't the same without it. Maybe if you forget to get it, I can swing by the store after gymnastics. Oh man, we gotta leave in 15 minutes...guess I should dress the kid instead of talking to you all, huh?

Don't get TOO chatty while I'm gone. I'll never be able to find you!

Don't you have these down where you live? I remember friends taking their kids to these in GA. I don't get that--just figured it was a southern thing

I'm guessing they do, but like I said, a loser mom like me wouldn't know of such things.

 

[MNFootballMommy]

I am staying out of that one. I'll for sure say something to get me points or banned, whichever comes first. It's just so wrong...

I need to avoid the pageant thread, because I don't have the heart to tell her that dress is hideous.

[It's A Happy Day]

No shopping for you here but I am making sketty for supper. Be there at 6 or no sketty for you! Complete with salad and garlic bread!

I'll be having a fun filled afternoon....working till 3PM, get kids off bus 3:10PM, shuffle kids into car and off to the Chiropractor for me (ruptured disc in lower back - keeps it in check), then thinking of stopping at Trader Joe's (what should I get? ), and then home to cook supper, homework, etc. I like to hit Trader Joe's when I go to the chiropractor because they are close to each other and I'm not normally in that area.

Gooooooood Mornin' Losers!!!!!!!
