Crab Feed

Every year at this time we are invited to a fund raiser put on by the  Native Sons of the Golden West in Pescadero. It is the best crab feed ever, (even though I have not been to other crab-fests to compare except my own). We look forward to this yearly event! The drive to Pescadero at 5pm was spectacular! We stopped along the way at San Gregorio Beach loaded with our camera equipment and took some spectacular photos of the sunset. Wow! Every year Mother Nature teases us with spring weather in the middle of winter. The sun was a bright orange which lit up the wispy clouds and sky as it set.



 Then off to crab feed.  Picture a very old town hall in the small town of Pescadero set up with a mix of long tables and few round ones which we were lucky enough to reserve for our group. The tables were set with plastic tablecloths and paper plates, silverware and napkins. Remember this is a hands on meal, you can't be squeamish about diving in and getting your hands messy with a delicious garlic, herb, olive oil marinade. The students serve us with large colorful plastic bowls filled to the brim with salad, garlic bread and of course the marinated crab! It is an all you can eat dinner, so we stuff ourselves knowing we have to wait a whole year till the next crab-fest!
Fun time with good friends for a great cause!
