Soft Shell Crabs c/o Myself

The Friday before the fourth was a holiday at the office. I woke up and knew that I had to buy a vacuum cleaner and I wanted to buy soft shell crabs. Of course, those are, in some ways, opposing desires. Practical v. Magical. In the end, I did both. The crabs were delicious, but I should have let the oil get a little hotter before throwing in the crabs. They weren't as crispy as crabs I've cooked in the past. Green beans and a tomato, with lemon wedges, were the crabs' accoutrements.
