Soft Shell Week

I had my first soft-shell crab of the season on Mother’s Day, courtesy of my chef-daughter Brigitte. After a hard day’s work at Miss Shirley’s, where people were lined up before the doors opened at 7:30, she cooked up amazing soft shells in her own kitchen later that day.
And what a treat it was. Brigitte [...]
