After 2 days of feasting, ( Turkey Dinner on Wed-Thanksgiving Eve here at THD) and yesterday Honey Baked Ham Dinner at Dodie's and Ruth Residence in Bencia, you would think that I will not be thinking and writing another article on my Food Cravings. On the contrary good food triggers more cravings and perhaps a sign of Food Addiction. Hopefully Not! So today I am posting on my cravings for soft shell crabs. I wrote this last September.
"The end of September is also the end of the season for live or fresh soft shell crabs( SOFTIES). However, they are available all year round frozen and can be purchased in some restaurants or local fish markets in most big cities. Last May before I moved here at THD, I ordered soft shell crabs from my Favorite Seafood Restaurant in Rancho Cordoba. It was expensive but delicious and it cured my cravings for the SOFTIES. When we were residing in Maryland in the mid 1990's, availability of this seafood delicacy( fresh) was easy because of the nearness of Chesapeake Bay from May to September.
Here in Walnut Creek, I am not sure where to buy soft shell Crabs. So I did a Google Search and here's what I learned.

One of the these Sunday Evenings when Food is not available here at THD I will order soft shell crabs via Door Dash, or Grubhub and have it delivered in my front door not outside the gate of the The Heritage Downtown. It will then be the only time when my cravings for this seafood delicacy will be satiated. Meanwhile I have several filipino dishes in my freezer ( Dinuguan, Calderetta) that I purchased recently just in case I will have cravings for Pinoy dishes. The other day my cravings for Dimsum was cured when Dinah and I were able to have a Dimsum lunch when we visited the Blackhawk Museum in Danville. The other day, my friends from Fairfield, Frank and Mildred Cabunoc brought me PINAKBET that I consumed with gusto.
Thank you, Frank and Mildred for the treat. A lot of my non-Filipino co-residents here at THD had asked me the taste of pinakbet. Here's the answer to the question.
