Crab Soup

The event-packed fall continues... Nov 11 and 12 was the Eco Festa at the Tajima Dome. Even more exciting, our friends Mike and Colleen were coming up to see it with us! Hooray!

True to form, they brought inclement weather with them. Refer to the blog's history to rediscover their weather-changing tendencies.

But unfortunately, Aaron and I'd both been sick. Aaron recovered right before they arrived, but I was pretty out of it Saturday. Since scheduling gets pretty complicated here, there was no way we were going to cancel. So I toughed it out, and we all went to the Eco Festa with Mari.

In general, the Eco Festa is a lot like an expo. Lots of booths, many with similar items, lots of food, etc. There was also a flea market that we had fun picking through. There were a few craft booths were kids could paint some wooden figures. Very small time, but still fun.

The Eco Festa also features a speciality soup. Winter is crab season, so you can buy a bowl of broth with half a crab inside. And lucky you-- all the tasty innards are there for the slurping! Aaron ignored the guts and just sucked out the leg meat. Mari thought it was hilarious as that style of crab is selected specifically for eating the insides. MMmmm, crab guts.
