Not-So-Fat Tuesday or Crawfish Boil Redux

Tuesday 15 May
Bert and Susann left us a bottle of Zatarain's as a house gift, so with half a bag of crawfish still in the freezer from the real Mardi Gras, we had to have some friends over. Tom and Liz came bearing Mr. Mondavi's Sauvignon Blanc (when we toured the winery, the guide just called him "Mister") and a new wine that the guy at Ludlow Wines recommended when Tom told him what we were going to have for dinner, Sitios de Bodega’s Conclass 2006, from Rueda in Spain (sauvignon blanc plus two Spanish varietals, verdejo and viura). Crisp and perfect with the mud bugs!
We pretty much did the same as for real Mardi Gras, which is: throw everything into a giant pot. So in went all our little redskin potatoes (maybe 30 in all, with plans for left-overs), 3 andouille, 8 cloves of garlic, 4 onions, 4 ears of corn (cut in half), a lemon (ditto), plus 1 TBSP (all right, 1 1/2) of Zatarain's, and a mess of salt. Once the potatoes were close to done, we added the crawfish and a pound of frozen shrimp to eke out the paltry feast.
For dessert there was Ecumenical Bread Pudding, made from the frozen remains of the challah menorah from which we've made the Christmas pud in the past. No raisins, just lots of bourbon in the egg and milk soaking mixture. Serve with Graeter's . . . and bourbon.
