I grew up in Baltimore County. Our neighbor had two of those wooden tables with the benches attached under an enormous maple tree. On 4th of July they stapled butcher paper to the tables and piled the crabs in the center, and it took all day to eat them. There may have been corn, too. I hadn’t thought of that in years. Maryland crabs are the best, with Old Bay seasoning. (And the lightening bugs! In a Mason jar!)

I've been to a few crab feasts like that. All day is right!

It’s been a long drought, but the Coke bottle full of Japanese beetles quenched my thirst. Thanks, John.
