Marty got suckered into buying something we have never bought before... crab legs. They stayed in our freezer for sometime and finally we thought we should tackle the adventure and make these bad boys for a meal. Neither of us have made crab legs, much less eaten them. I think we had them once many years ago at a restaurant. So we do some searching on the Internet and get started. 
We let them thaw, then did some washing of them... then into a kettle of boiling water.
Amazingly they did as our research said, and started to turn the pretty crab leg red.
Next the butter and garlic that is needed for dipping the finished product.
We don't really have the tools to crack crab legs, so we use a nut cracker. It kinda worked, but we were not quite having success so we bring out a scissors... and then we were in business. I know this probably goes against all the 'proper crab eating' but we were hungry and the kids were too!
The kids seemed to like it...
The finished product we get out. It sure takes a lot of work to get a small pile.
Then add the butter... ummmm yummy!
then we have the very end... a big mess!
...but very good tasting!
