What A Boil…

We have planned and waited all month for today when Bob would get out his special

Rockport 2010 017

recipe for a boil.

We all gathered

Rockport 2010 001

at Molly and Bob’s house with our drinks and

Rockport 2010 004

snacks.

Bob

Rockport 2010 003

was all set up are ready to start.

So…

Rockport 2010 006

with a layer of potatoes and carrots we got started.  Next came a

Rockport 2010 016

layer of chicken wings.  Bob says this is where all the flavor comes from!  While the chicken was cooking, several were

busy shucking

the corn.  This would be the next thing to go into the pot.

In between every layer Bob added salt, pepper, and

Rockport 2010 018

Old Bay.

The only thing left to add was the

Rockport 2010 027

shrimp and the

Rockport 2010 022

Stone Crab.  Now, with everything in the pot, it was just a matter

Rockport 2010 026

of time until…

Bob would arrive at the clubhouse where the

table was being prepared for

lunch!

It didn’t take long for everyone to get right

down to the business of eating.  And, eating we did.  It was all soooooo good.

And, if the big boil wasn’t enough, there was

Rockport 2010 050

Hummingbird Cake,

Rockport 2010 033

strawberries and pecan pie.

And, when all was said and done….this was

all that was left of Bob’s hard work!

After a short break, we all headed back to the clubhouse for

Rockport 2010 056

the nightly guys vs. girls Hand and Foot challenge.  Tonight these girls came out winners, but overall the guys are still ahead.  But, we aren’t giving up yet!

And, this bring us to the end of yet another day filled with sunshine, laughs, and friends.  Oh, yes…don’t forget the food!
