This is the real Maryland seafood boil that locals use all up and down Chesapeake Bay. It’s loaded with paprika and garlic :)

I dumped the whole sack into the boil, added fresh yellow and white onions a bunch of lemon halves and then 16oz of apple cider vinegar. Makes the pickin easier.
Normally it would have been eaat coast blue steamers not snow crabs , with little necks or full sized Chesapeake steamers , shrimp and then all the sausage ,corn and potatoes. But I was clearing freezer space to put in some female feral weber pigs and a 1/4 side of beef from the Familia. So all the crab from Washington State trip, shrimp and lobsters from the Florida run got boiled and shared on the back deck with kegs live country music and plinking 22s in the back 10. Good times for all. Seriously J&O accept no substitute Old Bay is for tourists.
Just reading this stirs tbe appetite.
The Vietnamese family I grew up with ate Chow from outside kennels on the regular. Burt’s dad was was high ranking officer in the South Vietnamese Army they were relocate to rural south east Texas along will hundreds of others. There land bought by the US gov all 25 acres of it butted up to ours and the two other families on the four corners as we called it. I have eaten Chow since I was 6 or so I learned to use chop sticks before a fork from Viet’s family we were communal kids would be dropped off for a week at a time with one of the four corners and that family would watch them while the other parents traveled or whatever. I wouldn’t change my upbringing for anything. We had Vietnamese on one corner, Cajuns on the other and British Irish opposite my Native American and Spanish colonial Tejano family. We all.got the best of all worlds those guys are my brothers to this day when a parent dies it’s like a lose of a biological parent they raised us. We shared food and responsibilities; If that makes us commies then we are commies and I wouldn’t change that for the world.
Bert grrr Google it’s Viet’s
“If that makes us commies then we are commies and I wouldn’t change that for the world.”
I am not sure why you posted that? Nothing in your posts to seems to need that declaration.
well the MSG is the deal breaker
I was talking about my communal upbringing. I grew up with four.families sharing , responsibility for raising children, feeding us and our familes. We all had keys to each others homes. We had large 6+ bedroom homes we had rooms that were ours with cloths in those homes. It was a communal upbringing. We had a large garden shared and also livestock every bit of a commune setting. Literally communal not just in words but practicality. Not all communalism is bad when every one pulls there weight it’s advantageous. I love my brothers and sisters to this.day we are still close the third.generation is being raised now. Most are still FLDS and wall a path with God every day.
Sorry walk a path with God every day. Oh how I have small keys and big fingers. It’s like phones are made for soyboys not large American men with manly sized hands.
“It was a communal upbringing.”
I read it as just a few very close neighbors.
People don’t like the term compound but that’s how FLDS is. There were no fences between the four corners only on the outside. Today we have 250 acres with a custodian on it one of my FIL nephews and his families plural on it. We all work the land and stock the shipping containers on it as the prophet Joseph Smith tells us. We will be just fine in anything short of a asteroid.impact. I grew up FLDS and have a large family that I would not trade anything for. Money is a means to a end and FLDS are better than the Jews at taking care of our own we have billions in capital the fastest growing faith in the world other than Islam is LDS we FLDS are the pure bloods who never sold out to the dotgov and won’t out day at the Supreme Court is comming.
other words, you grew up with lots of Mommy’s and lots and lots of siblings and half siblings.
What would happen if someone wants to leave?
I’m not trying to be disrespectful. I’m just curious. 🤔
