This is a great time of the year (and the perfect location for us) for Maryland blue crab. If you live near the Chesapeake Bay and you have a hankering for some crab, you have three options: you can go to a nice seafood restaurant and pay a premium, you can go to a dodgy restaurant and get something for a little cheaper, or you can buy some crabs and enjoy them in the comfort of your home. For the most part, we go with option number three. Here’s a quick and easy way to steam Chesapeake/Atlantic blue crab.

We roast a chicken fairly often at the house, and I have the art of carving down to a science. Many people are intimidated by slicing the breast meat on the carcass, including myself; in my version of carving, I remove the breast and cut it on the cutting board. This is also how I carve turkeys.
I filmed 14 short videos of my son, Oliver, to play alongside the soundtrack to Where the Wild Things Are. Oliver was 14 months old in the month I recorded the project. The main purpose of the films are to capture this moment in Oliver’s life so he can watch it later, and to send the videos to his grandparents (both sets live quite a ways away from us). I recorded everything with a Canon T1i, with a 50mm lens and manual focus.
