Crab Night!

As of last night, I no longer host the Wednesday pub quiz at the Uptown Tavern and Rooftop. Now, that isn't because I got fired or anything, I just had too much going on with nightly activities Monday-Thursday and I needed one of those nights back. So, I decided to let one of the new hires take over that quiz, and from now on I'll have some flexibility during my week day evenings (I expect to spend them mostly at home trying to relax a little.) 

Now, I did not host the quiz last night, but I was required to be there to make sure that armageddon didn't come on the new guy's first night.* After a bit of a rocky start, we got the quiz going and I was able to enjoy the REAL Wednesday night draw, all you can eat crab legs. 

*Funny thing is, it did come. Last night around 6:45, the power went out for four square blocks of uptown and we were all sitting there in the dark. There were a ton of people there just for the pub quiz, so the new guy was about to just yell out the questions from the middle of the bar and do the whole quiz by candle light (which would have actually been pretty rad.) Luckily, after scrambling around trying to figure out what to do for an hour and fifteen minutes, the lights came back on and we were able to commence the quiz as planned. 

I love crab legs, and being that they are pure protein, they are completely ok under the diet. True, the practice of dipping crab legs in melted butter has some... adverse health effects... but I limited my butter intake and instead chose to focus my energy on the heavenly crustacean. In order to bring my order more in line with my diet, I also chose to forgo the choice of potato in favor of garlic green beans. In the end, I probably laid waste to about 4 whole crabs worth of legs. 

Seen here: about half of the devastation

Luckily, because of this plan I'm on, I was able to consume an ungodly amount completely guilt free. You know, sometimes this dieting business isn't half bad...
