Convention Crawfish Boil

I talked to Ryan today and we discussed doing the Crawfish boil again at the convention this year. He is willing to do it again, but we need some dedicated volunteers to help him. I am not exactly sure how many but Ryan roughly estimated 10 so that it will run smoothly. Ryan also mentioned that he made some kind of cooker that we could cook a pig in as well...so we could do a crawfish boil/pig cook! I know it will be insanely good. I haven't decided yet how we will fund it, maybe out of the food fund and not have fontana cook that night but I guess it depends on how many people are interested. So first off we need volunteers. Please contact me for that. Second we need to know how many to prepare for. Any, and everyone that is interested please post or somehow let me know and I will just start a list here on this post. Details are as follows.... Ryan is going to order the approx 5 lbs per person according to the people that i have on the list. It will be wednesday night and you will have to pay for this at the convention. We are not taking up the money ahead of time. Plan on approx. $5 per lbs so you are looking at around 25 bucks per person. If you are not on the list you are either out of luck unless someone on the list bails or there are left overs...which I doubt will happen. If you don't pay, someone else will eat your crawfish, that is for sure. Crawfish Eating List (Volunteers in RED) If you want to pay in advance, here is the paypal info.

ohhhhhhhh and I volunteer Chad to help TOO :fact

Do we have to volunteer ourself, or can we nominate others :lol Might have to stay clear of the crawfish depending on the seasoning used (allergy), but I'm good for anything else.

no volunteering anyone esle. lol. But anyone is welcome to help. Last year ryan did it all himself. I promised him this year I would get him help. Otherwise he wasn't going to do it again...and I don't blame him.

I will help anyway I can!

good, thanks scott!

good, thanks scott! No problem....just let me know what to do/bring.

I've never had a crawfish. What do they taste like? And none of you batages say "chicken"! :fact

I've never had a crawfish. What do they taste like? And none of you batages say "chicken"! :fact Its like crack!!!!!!!!!!! They are the bomb. As far as taste its kind of unique. I guess like mini lobsters.

I love lobster. Living in Maine makes me happy cuz of that. I can drive 2 miles and get a 1 1/2lb lobster for $7!!

I'll know for certain (on the whole trip) when I get back home.

Yeah me too. I'll help.

Chad, I'll help out. But those things were way to spicy for me last year. I probably won't eat any of them this year. I can't handle the spicy stuff, but I'll help out with it for sure.

Umm... I helped out last year a little... opening bags of potatoes, shucking corn, etc etc. Ryan was really really busy though. I'll help out again this year as much as I can. If we need another pot, I promise to bring mine this year. As I forgot it last year. LOL I also will be eating the same amount I ate last year... which was a TON!!! Them there mudd bugs were "wicked awesome!!!"

Thanks Randy....if we do the pork I am sure it won't be spicy. Doing the pork Carolina style or otherwise? I'm game to help on anything unless there is Old Bay or similar seasoning. Don't feel like having to self administer ephinepherine and take an abulance ride during the convention.

Damn.... Im hungry!!!

I volunteer to eat another 5 pounds this year, bring more sausage.... mmmm....mudbugs :)

I volunteer to eat another 5 pounds this year, bring more sausage.... mmmm....mudbugs :) LOL......I think 10lbs for me!!!

LOL......I think 10lbs for me!!! NNNNOOOOO.....:scared take pity on us Scott. I think the whole Gap/Cherohala/East coast area is still recovering from the last time you ate mud bugs.:fact

NNNNOOOOO.....:scared take pity on us Scott. I think the whole Gap/Cherohala/East coast area is still recovering from the last time you ate mud bugs.:fact They can blame me for global warming.

Everytime I see your avatar it makes me all giddy inside!!!! Me too...:fact

Make that three

:iamwithst :yesnod :lol I think the corn was the most potent on spices.....it really soaked up the juices!! :fact Man that was the bomb!!

:iamwithst :yesnod :lol I think the corn was the most potent on spices.....it really soaked up the juices!! :fact The corn really lit me on fire. I was done after I ate it. I do think we need to start it earlier this year. It was pitch dark last year when everything was ready to eat. Are we going to have it at our cabin again or up on the road where we usually eat?

The corn really lit me on fire. I was done after I ate it. I do think we need to start it earlier this year. It was pitch dark last year when everything was ready to eat. Are we going to have it at our cabin again or up on the road where we usually eat? I agree Randy that we need to start a little earlier... I think if everyone pitches in it will go faster.

Are we going to have it at our cabin again or up on the road where we usually eat? That is the reason for the volunteers. We will have it ready to eat by dinner time. Here is the thing, we have to figure out the regular dinner that night. I don't need to eat the Fontana dinner that night if we are going to have crawfish too. But I don't think everyone wants crawfish. So I have to figure that out. I may make it a light dinner that night.

speaking of which...you guys post up on the food thread as to what you guys want and don't want for dinners each night. thanks.

want: beer don't want: everything else :lol

Beer is food!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, a good porter is like drinking sweet bread :beer:beer:beer

I'd like to take a moment, in the midst of this talk of what alcohol people are bringing, to pose a public service announcement: THIS CAN COME TO NO GOOD! That being said, I'll bring the stuff to make woo woo's and kamikazi's, as well as the obligatory Korbel brandy for anyone that has a good riding day with me (GPD270 and Finsl are due a couple shots each for getting me to Cornerspeed). Oh yes... my hangover helper stand is looking better and better all the time! :lol

Ill bring beer. Local beer. None of that nasty Bud crap!

Oooh hell yeah. I need to bring you guys some of our local brewed Maine beer.:beer:beer:beer I brought down two cases of Yuengling Black & Tans last year... Don't remember bringing many (any) back home :beer :beer :beer

Did you really expect to bring any back:dunno :lol

Did you really expect to bring any back:dunno :lol I didn't expect to bring anything back..... but I did.:crash :vanish I've still got it, maybe I'll bring it back this year, aged and even better than last year.

What is it?

What is it? Can't tell you that, it's been classified... You'll have to experience it firsthand. I think Shane came up with the first timers have take a shot upon arrival.

uh oh :scared

The corn really lit me on fire. I was done after I ate it. I do think we need to start it earlier this year. It was pitch dark last year when everything was ready to eat. Are we going to have it at our cabin again or up on the road where we usually eat? Actually Skeet, I started pretty early last year but the process took a long time with the limited help. It sounds like it may be different this year. The pig is also an option. We just did a 75lb pig for New Years and it came out great. The device we made is called a "Cajun Microwave". It's like a portable oven, but the fire is on top which heats the bottom of the box. It can cook a whole 75 pounder ins about 8-10 hours, though, the longer the slow cook, the better the pig. Here are some pics of the last one we cooked: Fall off the bone!!! http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w14/ryn8a/New%20Years%202008/CajunMicrowave081Large.jpg Cracklin Anyone....mmmmmhhhhh mmmmmmhhhh http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w14/ryn8a/New%20Years%202008/CajunMicrowave080Large.jpg Time to flip it!!! http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w14/ryn8a/New%20Years%202008/CajunMicrowave078Large.jpg Bringing up the heat for the cracklin!! http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w14/ryn8a/New%20Years%202008/CajunMicrowave070Large.jpg The Cajun Inferno Engineers http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w14/ryn8a/New%20Years%202008/CajunMicrowave064Large.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w14/ryn8a/New%20Years%202008/CajunMicrowave061Large.jpg

Oh yeah!! You are definitely going to have to bring that ryan!!!

Damyum, that piggy looks good! Hey Chad, let's just give Ryan all the food money and let him cook/cater for the entire week. :crash

hahahaha. THat would be fine with me!

thanks but no thanks ;)

Looks great!!!

thanks but no thanks ;) hahaha. I kind of figured you would say that. LOL

Damyum, that piggy looks good! Hey Chad, let's just give Ryan all the food money and let him cook/cater for the entire week. :crash :stpd: I was thinking the same thing, even though I can't see the pics. hahaha. I kind of figured you would say that. LOL :stpd: before I even saw Ryan's post I knew he'd say "HELL NO"... There's just too much time and energy involved in cooking for all us fools thanks but no thanks ;) Hell, one night is better than none at all! Thanks for volunteering to do it at all.... :fact

Chad, Ryan,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that was sooooooooooo good last year! I'll help too in whatever way I can. I can say though, if we do the mud bug boil, I won't eat the Fontana supper that night. Especially if Ryan brings his pig cooker, I don't think we'll need the Fontana supper. Anyways, count me in for help most of the day if needed and bucks for mud bugs. I bet with all the help, Ryan and company can get 'em done by 6-ish that night. Was it Weds night last year? I don't remember much after the first Sunday night and it was mostly Stu's fault. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/goobr/Smilies%20and%20GIFs/drink2.gif

Maybe we'll have fontana do that night the "light" one..

THanks ben. I agree with you. I am sure whoever is eating the pig and crawfish that we will not eat the fontana dinner. I am not quite sure how to handle that though. If we just have a medium group of folks it may be easiest to just pack up the fontana dinners for lunch the next day. I am game for options. Maybe we could use our individual food money that we were going to spend on the fontana food that night to pay for this. It would be nice if I just had enough extra to pay for it. and I may actually have because we will only do one boat this year. just have to see. we will figure it out though

I'd have no problems whatsoever in making a plate like I normally would with the Fontana supper and saving it for another meal to heat up in the "mikey-wave",,,, or, just sumpin' to munch on throughout the day afterwards. Just thinkin' out loud here, maybe have Fontana do a "soup and sandwiches" that night. That would be easy to hold over in the 'fridge or cooler for a couple of days. Maybe "soup and sammiches" would be a good thing to stave off the sTREET bARTENDER. :lol All's I know is I want some more of Ryan's Cajun cookin'. Damn that was good! :yesnod

yeah either way I am going to make sure the Fontana dinner that night is light and easy, like you said.

:thumbup

If we can drink and volunteer...count me in.:beer

yeah either way I am going to make sure the Fontana dinner that night is light and easy, like you said. I'm kinda cool with the idea of packing it for lunch the next day. Don't want to cut the CROT out of the Dragon Burger sales or anything... but heck. They put up some good chow in Fontana!

Sorta tastes like shrimp too,,, well, it's according to the seasonings the cook uses. Sorta kinda messy too. Let's put it this way, don't be wearing your Sunday dress up shirt while eatin' these boogers. :lol

Any updates?

yeah, I talked to ryan the other day. It is on for wednesday. We don't know the prices yet but we are going to do 5 pounds per person on the list...and then just split the cost amoung all that are on the list. looks like about 16 people. The price per lb depends on when ryan gets it. So we don't know the exact prices yet, I am sure it will be about the same as last year, whatever that was.

Everyone please remember that when the crawfish gets there Ryan will need alot of help sorting out any dead ones before he can cook and then with the actual cooking!! :fact :yesnod

yep, we are going to start it up around 4 this year too so it won't be so late eating it. If you signed up to help out please make sure you are there around that time to help get this going. it does take a lot of effort to pull this off...but well worth it!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good!

:hellobye

Are we still doing this?

I sure hope so... I want 10 lbs just for myself!!! :crash

YES THIS IS HAPPENING!!!! :) Details are as follows.... Ryan is going to order the approx 5 lbs per person according to the people that i have on the list. It will be wednesday night and you will have to pay for this at the convention. We are not taking up the money ahead of time. Plan on approx. $5 per lbs so you are looking at around 25 bucks per person. If you are not on the list you are either out of luck unless someone on the list bails or there are left overs...which I doubt will happen. If you don't pay, someone else will eat your crawfish, that is for sure.

Oh man!! Some of the guys will have Sushi for lunch and crawfish for supper on Wednesday?? The Methane levels will be lethal on Shustack Rd that night!! :fact :lol Man I really am gonna miss the taste of that Crawfish Boil this year!! :( So are we doing this for the 09 Convention?? :crash :lol
