ven a comer: After Thanksgiving
http://venacomer.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-thanksgiving.html
Dec 7, 2009. T's been over a week after Thanksgiving, but i wanted to share a few pics of our meal. We where only 3 people (my hubby, my auntie AA and me) but we sure cooked for a lot more! Which was a good thing 'cause we had plenty of leftovers — just finished them up this weekend. I really enjoyed the cooking and trying new recipes, but next year I'll be VERY happy to go to someone else's house :) Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving! Turkey all buttered up and filled with citrus and herbs.

http://venacomer.blogspot.com/2010/06/crabs-with-fennel-tomato-broth.html
Jun 29, 2010. Crabs with fennel and tomato broth. Last weekend I was going through one of my Sunset Magazines. And saw this super yummy picture of crabs with a tomato stew. My hubby took one look and agreed with me: we HAD to make it that night. We both love crabs and we've had it many times but never cooked them ourselves or bought them live. We decided to get them from this asian fish market. We followed this directions on boiling live crab. It's messy and weird but go for it! FOR THE FENNEL-TOMATO BROT.
