Evil Twins Take on Wire

Did you miss us? A month and a half hiatus is a long time. I blame the poor blogging to my new schedule. Every Wednesday morning I have to present at a lab meeting leaving my Monday mornings stressed because I am trying to figure out how to cram a week's worth of work in two day. Excuses, excuses.

To prepare for her second trip to B'more, Evil Twin #2 watched season 2 of the "Wire." Actually, the true test of ET#2's preparedness was wearing and packing only pants that were either too big for her or that had an elastic waist.

Evil Twins have know each other for almost 15 years now and in this case familiarity breeds not the most interesting post. No longer are we going to get wasted and get hit on by some strange characters. We are no longer playing pranks on contemptible vegans. Yup, 15 years later, we are dare I say...adult like.

On Saturday, we had brunch and took a water taxi around the Inner Harbor. We walked the safer streets of Baltimore, and went for a leisurely drive to see the last of the fall color. After a brief pit stop, at the Korean supermarket, we parked the car and went for the main event: steamed crabs.

The walk to Obrycki's on Halloween night was a lot less scary had it been any other night of the year. As two small Asian ladies, we passed through a few unsavory neighborhoods unharrassed or mugged. We got to the restaurant and ordered. Within minutes of ordering, steamed crabs landed on our brown paper table cloths. We spent about 45 minutes in silence as we worked on our crabs. Perhaps we should have stopped at 3 crabs a piece, but we decided to split 4 more. Needless to say, it was too much. After a leisurely walk home with a brief stop at the ice cream store, ET#2 and I watched the only TV station I get: CBS.

It was a pretty perfect weekend.
