Banana pudding for bad days

As recently as August, The Kiwanis Club of Saint Marys, Georgia intended to host its 48th annual Rock Shrimp Festival on Oct. 9. But the event has since been rebranded as the St Marys Seafood Festival in deference to the local disappearance of rock shrimp and Kiwanis energetic enough to prepare them.

“Rock shrimp are getting very expensive, approaching $15 a pound if you can find them,” event organizer Chris Thurner says. “Last I heard, one has to go to the West Palm Beach area to catch rock shrimp.”
