Reliance"s 15th birthday

Wednesday, July 17th (Day 324)

Today Reliance turned the big 15. He's been excited all week for today. He chose Blue Crab, NY strip steak, fruit salad, and cake for his "special meal". He also volunteered to cook the crab. So Harris bought 6 live large blue crabs from the fish market which were brought home in a large double bag for the transplanted Baltimore clan. Reliance thought it was cool how they protected themselves with their pincher claws.



 A borrowed pot and crumpled soda cans provided the steamer.





 Harris almost forgot to take a picture of the finished product. This is the bottom half with Old Bay spice clinging to their backs. Fifteen minutes was perfect.



 The cook ready to demolish his share.




The Glee Club preparing to sing Happy Birthday.

 And the big moment...blowing out the candles on the ice cream cake.


Afterwards, Reliance made out like a bandit with his presents.
