Publix was selling these pumpernickel loaves over the weekend. I thought “why not” and turned one into a sub. 4 types of cold cuts; ham, turkey, hard salami and garlic bologna. Swiss and aged white cheddar. Iceberg lettuce, tomato slices and slivered Vidalia onion. Sub dressing and extra oregano and garlic powder. It was about a foot long and fed three with half leftover. |

I'm jealous of people who can steam crabs. My only experience did not go well, and resulted in the friend who provided me with crabs from the Chesapeake Bay decided it was better to just steam them for me after that.

usually I would have it with fries and not spaghetti. In 1999 or 2000 I started to get a side of spaghetti with the cheeseburger & fries. Then I eventually stopped the fries part. Yum.

I know nothing about cooking east coast crab, but Dungenness are simply boiled for 15-17 minutes in very salty water (1/4 cup/gallon). Easy-peasy. :)
