Queen Crab Legs - $9.95/lb (reg. 11.95/lb)
My favorite -back after 5 years
The official name for this yummy crab cluster is Bairdi (a large Snow Crab, but WAY better than Opilio; the typical Snow Crab you find at AFS and other retailers and restaurants - bigger IS better).
Steam them, since these crab legs, like almost all crab, is cooked before it leaves Alaska. You will like the large hunks of meat in the shell. I know I do.

The school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind. Forward it to anyone who might need a lift today.
Dear Safety Harbor Middle School:
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior
citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and l live at the Safety
Harbor Assisted Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone and I want to thank you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady.
My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.
The other day her radio fell off the night stand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my ass.
Thank you for that opportunity.
Sincerely,
Edna

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because, he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.
For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, "I'm sorry but you scared the daylights out of me."
The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn't realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.
The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my fault.
Today is my first day driving a cab.
I've been driving a hearse for the last 25 years."

Louisiana oystermen wonder why Australia has to feed its oysters Viagra -- ships them 'real' oysters |

SEAFOOD.COM NEWS -[Louisiana Seafood Promotion] HOUMA, LA June 11, 2007 -- The head of the Louisiana Oyster Task Force is disgusted at the denigration of oysters that is taking place in Australia, where a man reportedly has been feeding Viagra® to oysters in an attempt to make the savory mollusks a more potent aphrodisiac. "This is flat out wasteful," said Michael Voisin, chair of the Louisiana Oyster Task Force and proprietor of Motivatit Seafood in Houma, LA. "I don't know what's wrong with the oysters in Australia, but Louisiana oysters are an all natural aphrodisiac, the gold standard." Voisin, a happily married father of five and an eighth generation oysterman, says it's a shame that someone would go to such lengths when the oysters he harvests can do the trick naturally. Voisin has sent five-dozen Louisiana oysters to Tony Abbot, the Minister of Australia's Department of Health and Aging. "I hope Mr. Abbot can make use of these oysters and then tell his countrymen to end their dependency on drugs," said Voisin. And it's not just Australia. Studies prove that the world is becoming increasingly dependent on prescription medications. According to Voisin, the millions being spent on combating erectile dysfunction would be better directed elsewhere. "A half dozen Viagra costs about $200 not to mention the doctor visit required to get a prescription," said Voisin. "I can ship five dozen oysters from Louisiana to anywhere in the world for less than that. Heck, I'll even throw in a bottle of Tabasco." Voisin is encouraging men around the world to eat Louisiana Oysters and send the money they would have spent on pills to fishing families who are still recovering from the hurricanes that ravaged the Gulf Coast in 2005. "Despite the grueling rebuilding effort, most Oystermen in Louisiana are smiling," Voisin wrote in an open letter to all men. "We'll share the wealth if you do." |

Stuffed Salmon
On the Grill
Greg Lindberg on Channel 7, June 14, 2007
Use fresh Wild Salmon or Farm Raised Salmon. Fresh is always best!
4 each, 8 oz salmon fillets, skinless
2 ea 4 oz crab cakes (or 8 ounces crab meat sprinkled with a little Old Bay Seasoning, and combined with 1 beaten egg)
Lobster Bisque (or Hollandaise sauce) for topping after fish is grilled
Salt
Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Dash Cayenne Pepper
Pam (spray oil)
Pre-heat grill to Medium/High
Make a knife cut into the side of each salmon fillet, to form a ‘pocket.' You are going to stuff 2 ounces of crab cake (or crab meat mixture) into this pocket, so you want it to be about 2 inches wide, and 2 inches deep.
Then, guess what.....you simply stuff ½ of one crab cake into each salmon pocket. Be sure that it isn't too thick - it will take longer to cook, and you don't want to overcook the salmon while waiting for the crab cake to finish cooking.
Spray stuffed salmon fillets with Pam, sprinkle on salt and pepper, plus just a bit of cayenne for fun. Also spray your CLEANED grates on the grill, right before you place the salmon on the grill. Close lid, since you are baking as well as grilling, in this recipe.
After about 6 minutes, gently flip the stuffed salmon fillets - be careful not to squeeze out the crab cake stuffing! Cook for another 6 minutes, while heating your Lobster Bisque, or other sauce, if you prefer.
Plate up with some nice greens, and enjoy with a Sauvignon Blanc. ENJOY!

The IRS decides to audit Ralph, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor is not surprised when Ralph shows up with his attorney. The auditor says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable." "I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Ralph. "How about a demonstration?"
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, "Okay.
Go ahead." Ralph says, "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye." The auditor thinks a moment and says, "No way!
It's a bet." Ralph removes his glass eye and bites it.
The auditor's jaw drops.
Ralph says, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye." Now the auditor can tell Ralph isn't blind, so he takes the bet. Ralph removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Ralph's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous. "Want to go double or nothing?" Ralph asks "I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between."
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this guy can manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Ralph stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Ralph's attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
"Are you okay?" the auditor asks.
"Not really," says the attorney. "This morning, when Ralph told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it."
