A gift

My good friend who's recovering from a huge surgery wanted to walk around the lake, a bit over three miles. She appears to be healing about twice as fast as the average lumpen person. Quite amazing, and heartening to observe.
There was a two pound Dungeness crab beckoning to me from its ice bed at the store, so guess what's coming to dinner?

I have never cooked a crab.

Are you sure that gesture was a beckon?

Hee! I should have been more specific; the crabs were already cooked. They are often cooked very soon after being caught, since they are toxic if they die before being cooked, like lobsters. I've seen crabs being steamed, it's just like steaming lobsters. My few experiences cooking lobsters were alarming, since they kept trying to escape the pot.
