Operation Crabcake: Days 5 and 6

As Operation Crabcake comes to an end, we would like to go over what you have been missing out on for the past two days.

Day 5: No freakin' crabcakes.  Zach went to DC to visit some friends.  I stayed home and didn't do a whole lot.  We reunited at about 7:30 PM and ate some tasty shit called Joe's Special.  It was ground turkey, garlic, spinach, mushrooms, and spices all mixed together with Parmesan cheese.  As I previously stated, it was some tasty shit.  We, of course, crushed some Natty Bohs before we went to sleep.  Then we went to sleep.

Day 6: CRABCAKES.  That's right.  My mom made crabcakes for dinner.  And they were glorious.  However, the day kicked off with Zach and I going out to for some Chinese food with my Mom-Mom.  'Twas dericious.  See what I did there?  The we went and visited my other grandma who is the oldest person in the world.  She's 347 years old.  But she's hilarious.  After that, we ran to Columbia to the Target and saw the hottest mom/daughter combo in human history.  It was EPIC.  After returning we did a whole lot of hangin' out until my dad decided to make us some Ciroc coconut vodka martinis (totes gay).  Did I mention we had crabcakes for dinner?  Because we totally had crabcakes for dinner. Then we crushed some more Natty Bohs, watched some tube, and called it a night.

In a few hours, we will embark on a journey to the place that Zach calls home, the beautiful village of Auburn.  Operation Crabcake is now complete.  We shall update from Auburn in the coming days.  Don't worry, we'll feed you, baby birds.

Love,

Zach and Mikey

Operation Crabcake: Days 2, 3, and 4

Sorry to all those blogdividuals in the blogosphere, but we have been so freakin' busy that we haven't gotten a chance to update our blog in like three days.  We're gonna let you know up front; Operation Crabcake is not yet complete.  We still have some more time to eat those crabcakes though, so don't you worry.

Day 2:  No crabcakes.  We both wake up at around 10:30.  We both don't realize this until about noon.  HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT??  Classic Zach and Mikey.  Sunday really started out by getting some bowls of Pho from Pho 75 on Rockville Pike.  'Twas tasty.  We then went downtown and checked out some monuments and memorials and whathaveyou's on the National Mall.  As you can see from the picture on the above, we aren't lying about being on the National Mall.  We were definitely really there.  We then picked up my brother and headed back home to Olney.  After watching some No Reservations, we went out to dinner at Pasta Plus in Laurel, MD.  Zach and I totally witnessed a crime!!  We saw some Mexican dude bash in a window of a BMW and then run away because we spooked him!!! What an adventure Maryland is!!!!  Pasta Plus was pretty bomb-skeet-skeet.  I got some chicken parm, and Shmacks got some pasta with Italian sausage.  The night ended with crushin' some Natty Boh's and watchin' some tube.

Day 3:  Still no crabcakes.  We woke up real, real early at the crack of 9 because I had to go downtown to get this job at Founding Farmers Restaurant for the summer.  Totally got the job.  Anywho, after my 5 minute interview, I went to meet Zach who was chillin' on the stairs of some Civil War statue outside the Treasury Department.  We then went to Georgetown and grabbed some lunch at Tacklebox.  Fish tacos and fish and chips were pretty tasty.  We picked up a half dozen cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes for only 3 billion dollars.  That's not a deal, it's a steal.  After walking around for a tit, we headed back to Maryland.  We watched The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was funny as cuss.  We ate some leftover Cioppino and the clamma-d'sauce. We then picked up a couple bottles of potables  to imbibe upon.  And imbibe we did.   On some Natty Boh.  Shocker.

Day 4:  Yet again, no crabcakes.  Today we picked up some free lunch from California Tortilla/Taco, Zach.  We decided to head into Annapolis to walk around.  It was a pretty cute date, if you ask us.  After grabbing some ice cream, we headed back to Olney and watched more No Reservations.  However, we did stop at Borman's again to pick up two more 12-racks of Natty Boh.  Had some tortilla soup and quesadillas for dinner, and we're about to watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs from Apple TV and then crush some 7 and 7's.

Check out all our pictures after the jump!

Operation Crab Cake: Day 1 (The Land of Pleasant Living)

Day one has come and gone. And still our search for crab cakes is fruitless and in vain. Nonetheless, we shall bring you up to speed. Yesterday morning at about 11:27, after stopping at that dandy "Pelligrino's Submarine Sandwich Establishment" on "Mt. Hope Avenue", Zacharias and I finally got on the road and started to head down towards the Land of Pleasant Living, or Maryland if you're new. Now this ride consisted of a live performance of a chapter of Anthony Bourdain's book Kitchen Confidential, rockin' out to "Wagon Wheel" at least three times, and a constant battle of who could get their hand closer to the front of the car when entering a new state to lay claim to being first in the state. After about five hours and twenty minutes of driving (and becoming semi-lost in the lovely town of Harrisburg, PA), we came across a small country store right outside of Ashton, Maryland called Borman's Market. We needed to pick up some drank while watching the Cap's game, so Zach goes on to ask me if there was any Maryland beer that was worth trying. My initial thought was, "Is there any Maryland beer worth trying???? This guy must be new." But, being the great friend that I am, I responded with, "Get National Bohemian (or Natty Boh for you n00bs). And he did!

We arrived at my humble abode in Olney at about 5:30. My mom starts making dinner; Cioppino: The San Francisco Treat. Throw in some salad and some toasted bread with anchovie-butter and you've practically got sex on a plate. Yahmo go ahead and borrow an excerpt from our sister-blog hungrysam.blogspot.com to describe how this dinner was

"The first bite, every time, makes me chew slowly and gently, just enough to keep getting all the flavor. I think my eyes close a little. It's just that delicious, so savory that my primitive cortices stage a coup and higher function is temporarily non-existant. Finally, there's some sadness at the inevitably clean plate but it's overtaken and overwhelmed by satisfaction."

What a ridiculous paragraph.

Who knows what today will bring. We're going to get some Vietnamese food. Then getting some wop food (I'm 1/16 Italian, so it's okay to make those jokes) tonight. And then probably crushing 800 Natty Boh's. Classic Maryland.
