Cool!  I'm starting up in fall with final classes.

If plans stay as is, I'll make one before you all get here for live crabs or
maybe it will be fresh live clams (just depends on what they have) and we can
always make one Friday morning.  Kroger is on the way back and Sams and BJ's
are right there if any have a membership but not a close store and want to
stock up something car safe for the trip back.

Hehe yup!  Have to get the meat though or use our grinder (hand unit) if you
want to self grind.  Beef prices tend to be best at the commisary but it's
not on any route we would normally take.  Kroger is probably next best as is
on the route as is sams and BJ's is only 1/2 mile away.

Actually, we dont have to have much of a planned time.  'Someplace around
5-6ish' works. The others arrive same day.

I'm really hoping they have lots of live crabs.  That will be our 'signature d 
ish' and we can just settle back on our laurels and enjoy the fodder while
others show their whiles ;-)

Dunno, sorry!  They may not have it.
