Crawfish Boil

Earlier this year, my friends Amy and Curtis had a crawfish boil.
It was super awesome, and I decided that I'd totally copy them and put one on myself.
I had everything under control, except the teeny tiny part where I didn't have any idea what the hell I was doing. I mean, I watched Curtis pretty carefully when he was cooking, but severely underestimated the amount of work this kind of party entailed.
After finding out that Manny had to work till 10pm on the night of the boil, I was pretty upset, since I planned on getting everything ready and having him do the actual cooking. Luckily, Curtis makes an excellent loaner boyfriend and iron chef crawfish boiler. He totally came to my rescue and helped out immensely.

By the end of the night, I was boiling by myself and hopefully proved my proficiency.
I think everyone had a great time and I look forward to having more of these in the future :)
