Right now everyone is cooking and boiling crawfish and shrimp.  You need a back yard for that. Even if you don't like crawfish its ok cause you can boil water in a large pot, put in some Old' Bay seasoning with some new potatoes add some corn then when corn just about done add shrimp. Yummy. Don't have a house well what are you waiting for call me I am a RE/MAX agent. You don't want to buy well that's ok cause we can definitely help you find a home to lease to do all your back yard festivities.
