Another use for those leftover crawfish tails.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in January I joined a book club which was good for me because I usually choose watching a movie over picking up a book. <\/p>\n

I gave up on the book Goldfinch after three years. I just could not make myself finish it. Then when I tried to read the DiVinci Code after seeing the movie first, the book was almost word for word from the movie (or the movie from the brook), so I gave up on that book. So since January I have read four books but, the fifth one started – Oil and Marble I quit. My record is improving though.<\/p>\n

Our May bookclub was at my house and the book was “Where The Crawdads Sing” which was a very good book from the first page right up until the very end. For a snack for the ladies I couldn’t resist making something with crawfish to go along with the theme of the book. I’m wondering what I would have made for the Oil and Marble book if that meeting had been at my house; maybe marinated olives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I love this recipe that was given to me by a friend years ago. She told me that sometimes her spread is too runny so I made sure that I really gave it a good squeeze of the crawfish to get out all the moisture. I would even like mine a little spicier so next time I may add a little cayenne pepper for that extra punch.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/strong> <\/span>This French Country Roasted Chicken<\/a> is a recipe I posted back in 2011 and what’s great about this recipe it it all cooks in one pan.<\/p>\n

Strain the crawfish and squeeze out any remaining liquids.<\/p>\n

I had my husband to do some sampling before bookclub.<\/p>\n
