Can we get them out here?  The ones from belle river, a bayou in the north shore of lake ponchartrain used to be the biggest and sweetest when I worked at Rest. August; we’re looking for a replacement for dungeness crab now that it’s getting a little warm out.  Might have to call them crayfish on a California menu, we’ll see.  Good with our homemade andouille in a carolina gold rice salad?  With fresh chickpeas?  With cold beer?  With lady creamer peas?  Probably too early for the latter.  Soon we’ll have the first favas from out own garden.
