Low country boil, Rock style







No, no, not in the vein of the popular music form that used to be so popular with the world's youth, but rather with the Bride's Uncle Rock (his name!) in mind.









Take a turkey deep fryer and put in sections of corn on the cob, new potatoes, crab legs, shrimp (in shells) and some kielbasa-type sausages. Fill to top with water. Add (while loading the goodies in) a cup and a half of Old Bay, and a cup of salt. Boil for an hour or so, or take a potato out and make sure they're not getting gluey or weird. You're done!




Put down a bunch of newspapers on the table and plop all this out on the papers and just grab bits and bobs with your hands. Have butter and hot sauce and malt vinegar and more Old Bay and lemon halves. INSANE. [plus just now thought of sprinkling just a little bit of home-grown dill on the whole mess...may pass out...]

Is a "turkey deep fryer" sort of like a "pot" that's been "re-branded" so that triple the price can be "charged" for its "use"?
