Vegetarian Crab Legs

Just kidding, there are no such things as vegetarian crab legs (that I am aware of).  I do occasionally cheat on my vegetarian diet and let myself have fresh-caught Alaskan King Crab legs.  I feel ok with that because I'm not supporting factory farms.  Even then, I only end up eating crab once in a blue moon.  I think this time it's been at least two years since I had crab.

Tonite I wanted to make a nice dinner for Dan and I, but I've been feeling run-down the last few days and I have to watch it so that I don't make myself more sick.  I have had some extra dialysis, but I'm also trying to take it easy.  Luckily crab legs are a low-activity dinner... a few minutes in pot of boiling water, and that's it.

To go with our Alaskan King Crab, I made a nice salad with spring greens and lots of veggies, and blue cheese dressing (homemade, of course - the only way to go).  We also had fresh buttery garlic bread, and green beans almondine.  I wanted to make some sort of special beverage to go with our nice meal, so I made a lemon drink with rum and a few other things in it.  I also made a dessert, but that will be a different post.  The meal was delicious, and each item was relatively easy and quick to make... a simple but satisfying anemic-chef meal!

There is one leg left, so Dan and I plan on having some crab salad later, served with some crackers and what is left of our lovely Maytag blue cheese that we used for the salad dressing.  I'm looking forward to our late-night snack already!

Happy eating.
