present and dinner.........

Finally I can show a finish for OPAM...........I know Kris and Peg don't fall over with shock..........I actually finished this one a few weeks ago and couldn't blog it as it was a present for Fairy Girl..........She copied a pic Nic drew and I stitched it up for her.............the wings are a little hard to see but I used a variegated DMC  thread.....not the best pic I forgot to take one outside today.............

there has been lots of yabbying going on here this weekend............they caught heaps threw lots back and kept some of the bigger ones for me for dinner...........

When you get big yabbies you can cook the claws also with the tails (like the tail of a prawn). You use a nut cracker to break the claws open..........the meat in the claws is very tender.........

Garlic Yabbies

as many yabbies as you can get - cook yabbies in boiling water

peel yabbies

place some butter in the frying pan

add some garlic

throw in the yabbies

season with salt and pepper

fry up a bit then add some grated cheese.......cook another 5 mins until cheese is melted then serve.....

usually I have these just in a bowl as is but sometimes I have served the garlic yabbies on some rice.........

here they are cooking in the fry pan..........

(in the bottom left of this photo you can see a claw and a tail beside it.......)

Take Care til next time..............
