4th decor around the farm and a low boil



We are hosting a few friends this weekend for the 4th of July holiday. And since this summer has been about everything slow and easy, we are doing a low boil. If you are a Cajun, then you totally get this. If not, basically we will throw some shrimp, hot sausage, corn cobs, small red potatoes,onions and if we were really lucky to find any... crawfish, into a big pot, season with some Zatarains shrimp and crab boil and let it boil away.



My first experience eating crawfish was the first time that I met my husband's family down in Lafayette La, all experienced crawfish eaters I must say. Not wanting to feel out, I followed the lead from others and ate my first and last crawfish. I think I was done when I was told to just to suck the head out. What !



Talk about getting initiated into the family. I wish the art of eating crawfish was as easy as some of the simple and festive decor that I put up for the week.

Like putting some dollar store flags in some existing frames that I have, with some fern clippings in small glass lanterns. Or how about borrowing my coco-cola sign from the media room and putting it on the other mantel for a splash of color.

I even got out some red and white pillows for the chairs and folded a blue throw and used it as table runner. Good thing I am equipped for napping.......

while everyone else around me eats their crawfish. There is an upside to a low boil though, the clean up. When it's ready to eat, you basically throw everything on a table and your guests just pick what they want.


Here's a few of my other 4th of July party and project ideas.
