Blue Crabs

As I sat in my car this morning, with the defroster on and the heat blasting, I thought about warmer weather. It seemed like just a few weeks ago I was sitting at the dinner table with friends and family enjoying one of my favorite Maryland treats – Blue Crabs. It will be awhile before I get to dig into this summer staple again and it seems like forever until I’ll need air conditioning in my car.
