Roughin' it & Living off the Land

Now that's what you call roughin' it in the great outdoors!
(Needing an extension cord for your technology)
 
We were camping this weekend. We enjoy camping in September because the campgrounds aren't as full and the weather is generally pleasant. It was rather chilly Friday night -perfect for sitting around a campfire, but warmed up to a lovely 80* Saturday so we could go kayaking. What's not to love?
 
The really interesting thing we did Saturday was sample the local cuisine.
Certain members of our party caught a mess of crawdads in the creek running by our campsite.
(Otherwise known as crawfish, freshwater lobsters, or mudbugs – are freshwater crustaceans resembling small lobsters)
Thanks to the convenience of Wi-Fi and Google, we got instructions how to prepare them. Most had a sample. Or more. Yours truly can attest they taste comparable to shrimp.

And that just proves that shrimp were not meant for human consumption. ;)

I beg to differ. Shrimp are one of God's better inventions.
