Last night's dinner. Freshly caught and cooked crab, and champagne. Simple, and perfect! We shelled a third crab to have with our breakfast. This morning for my birthday breakfast Kevin made my favorite: poached eggs with crab and spinach on an english muffin, topped with hollandaise and chives. SO DELICIOUS. We'll…
