What is that in my hand you may be asking yourself??? We stopped at a lobster shack on our way to the Sharp House a couple of Monday's ago and I picked out my first lobster (paying a mere $9.00 for a nearly 2 lb lobster - time to take a peak in the KS grocery store tanks), soft shell and quite squirmy!!! Indeed this was my very first, hands on lobster cooking experience[the lobsters we received in the mail when we were kids were just terrifying] - Francois, as named by Mark(the guy in the background) who is the main stage manager at MSMT this year was wrapped in yellow bands. Mark was quite helpful in the gaining of courage to hold the lobster as I plopped it into the boiling vat of water that awaited it. Oddly, Francois looked quite well settled as he began to boil away in the water next to his little friend. Under normal circumstances, with so many details and such involvement in the process, I would barely be able to look at the lobster, let along crack it open, but after all of that, I was even able to eat it!!! Maine Lobster...yum, yum, yum!!!!

ew-all I could think about was screaming in the pot when they hit the hot water. We missed you on the 4th.
ReplyDeleteUck. I'll take the corn on the cob though!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed Mary but I will take the corn on the cob too!! Hope you had a good 4th.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...If they didn't look so life like I would try them. Maybe I would close my eyes. I'm proud of you for cooking them though. I don't think I could have done that. Love you!
