Ed organized a dinner with me and three other friends recently at a Chinese restaurant in Richmond. No special occasion. Just five people enjoying amazingly delicious food and feasting on an Alaskan king crab and a duck. The crab yielded three different dishes - the legs steamed with garlic, the leg knuckles stir fried with spicy sauce, and the meat in the body mixed with noodles. The duck yielded two dishes - Peking duck and duck lettuce wrap. There was too much food for five and we just ate and ate and ate. The food was very tasty! We all had a great time stuffing ourselves. We definitely could have had two or three more people join us and we would still have had enough food for everyone.
We all knew it was going to be an expensive dinner but I don’t think any of us expected it to be as expensive as it turned out to be. We were all a little shocked when the bill came. The crab cost $418.00! I don’t think I have ever had one dinner item cost that much before.
To splurge once in a while is fine and we definitely had a wonderful time enjoying that crab. I better start saving for next year’s Alaskan king crab dinner!

What a feast! I remember treating Papa to Alaskan king crab at Outback Steakhouse many years ago because he wanted to eat some.He was so happy! I have since earned back the cost of the meal, and that happy memory is what I pull out from my head when I need some cheering up.Happy Easter!- Ate Leslie
Hi Ate! Glad you signed your name b/c I did not know your username. And I'm also glad you got to share that moment with Papa. Happy memories are priceless!
