Giblets = Crabby Entertainment (and a Big Ol' Mess for Me!)

[Nicole]

My husband bought a roaster for me to make in the crock pot before I left for work this a.m., and when I unwrapped the chicken and went to throw out the bag of giblets I was like, wait! The crabs would love these! But I was in a hurry, so I dumped them all on a Corelle plate and tossed them in the microwave and went about my business setting up the Crock Pot. Had my back turned until I heard this hissing noise coming from the microwave and then a boom!. There were stinky chicken parts splattered all over the microwave - apparently there was a high water contents to the giblets and in my haste I neglected to account for that. The crabs did enjoy their treat, though, once I scraped it all off the microwave innards. Bunny and Salty were fighting over a piece of organ when I left about fifteen minutes later, and three other crabs were munching away at the pieces in the food dish. Moral of the story: Only boil giblets, makes crabbies happy and crab mommy happier.
