Not the way you describe it. If I ever eat another whole crab, though, it will remind me of the end of an Alaskan trip wherein we sat on the wharf at our ending point and ate freshly caught Dungeness crabs.
I see recipes for Tuna noodle cbutterole and am reminded of the time Mom made one and left out the tuna.
I see a recipe for Hot & Spicy Chicken and remember when I once made it and decided I'd order it out from then on.

Hot & Spicy Chicken (with help from Nguyet)
Recipe By : posted to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller 4-25-05 Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Entrees
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- About 4 chicken thighs -- boned and skinned, cut in pieces 50 cents worth fresh lemon grbutt Chopped red chili (I used 1-1-2 fresh -- could have used more jalape–os, seeded 4 cloves garlic -- minced 1 large onion -- cut in 1Ó pieces MSG Black pepper Salt Caramelized sugar sauce 2 Tbsp. fish sauce -- (?) 1-2 cup water
Marinate the chicken in the MSG, pepper, salt and caramel sauce.
Wash the lemon grbutt, remove bottom root part, and finely chop about 4Ó from the bottom up. Combine with chopped chili pepper. Fry the garlic and onion in hot oil, add the lemon grbutt and chilis, cooking until fragrant. Add chicken, and fry a couple minutes. Add water, maybe more caramel sauce (taste mixture for sweetness), cover and cook briefly (5 minutes or so). Serve with rice.
She advised against much nuoc mam because of smell -- I didnÕt notice it so bad. I added a sprinkling of dried crushed red pepper after tasting, because it could have been hotter. Tasted great! Color was much lighter than Cam Ranh BayÕs -- I added some Kitchen Bouquet - and it still wasnÕt dark enough. Maybe my caramel sauce wasnÕt dark enough. When I first made it, I felt like I burned the first batch so tossed it and started again. DonÕt know. Believe I used about a half chicken -=half a breast, one drum, and 2 thighs. Enough for me and Rob -- should have used more onion and not cooked the onion so long. Maybe re-order frying order. Nguyet was not impressed with the quality of the lemon grbutt I bought at the grocer near her shop. Nguyet grows her own.

Making an engagement partyAnother note on this: I'd say invite the kids, but hire a couple of neighbourhood teenagers who'd be interested in taking the kids off separately for their fun and games. That gives the parents time...
