Less than one week before we leave for Orlando, and I think I'm going to have a hard time hitting 80K hands this month.  So far I only have 11K.  It's been pretty hard getting in playing time.  It seems like we're always having people over a few times a week.  This week my second cousin from the motherland is visiting the US, so we're having her over for a BBQ.  I have never met her before, so it should be interesting.  Then Saturday, we're having the former Mario Batali protege over for another BBQ - Mrs. Fly Strikes Back!  Well, probably not - I think we're just grilling mass quantities of dead animal.

Under my brilliant supervision today, D fell down face first into the driveway.  Nothing serious, but we're basically hoping that we don't get a visit from Social Services any time soon.  Between the scrapes on his face, me calling him Baby Hitler & Snot Boy, and us leaving him with my sister while we go off to vacation isn't really painting a good picture.  Perhaps I should make a video called "How Not to be a Parent."  Actually, I'm an awesome dad.  Seriously.  Really.

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

Well, last week, I finally got the the king crab leg dinner I asked for in my March 4 post.  I think I would have gotten it sooner, had I not called out Mrs. Fly on it in my blog.  Oops.  I'm glad I didn't ask her to go into the kitchen and make me a pie.

I took a picture, but since we were too lazy to put it on a plate, it didn't look very appetizing.  But you all know what king crab legs look like.  We tried grilling them this time - it's pretty hard to go wrong with crab legs.  I actually prefer crab legs to lobster now - the meat is a lot more tender and flavorful.  I think it also has to do with the fact that we had a lobster glut last fall so it was like $5.99 a pound for a good month and we ODed on lobster.  Sometimes, too much of a good thing is bad.
