Crab legs were on sale at the store, and so I picked a package up, but then couldn't decide what to do with them. I made crab cakes recently, so those were out. Crab stuffed shrimp is fun, but not quite what I was in the mood for. I wanted to make something different with them, and also wanted an excuse to heat up the fryer. Finally, I stumpled across a recipe for crab tater tots, which immediately made my mouth water. The original recipe was made with pate a choux dough, however, and wasn't quite what I was looking for.
I love working with clay, it's such a fun and forgiving medium, and the possibilities are endless. If you have creativity. Which I don't always. :) I ordered a handful of how-to books from Maureen Carlson, who is a polymer clay goddess. It is AMAZING how much detail and personality she puts into her figurines. I had always thought the polymer clays were for people who weren't serious about creating art, and Maureen has, through her work, set me straight.
