	This reminds me of some 'bad ol' days', just after we moved to
Oregon and I was pregnant with my son (now a sullen adolescent). We were
desperately broke, but my (then) husband had a crayfish trap, and there
was a safe stream hard by the house... we thought we were living like
kings, with all those tiny 'lobsters', until we reached the point where I
was having to be very, uh, _creative_ with recipes. To this day I LOATHE
crayfish, and I'm not crazy about lobster, either (by association, I
guess). Might explain why my son is so 'crabby' though! ;-D
	Anyone for Crayfish Creole?
