LOBSTAH!!!

So this year Rick got our name for Christmas. He called ahead to verify that sending us live crustaceans would indeed be a gift and not torture. We waited anxiously for the FedEx guy to ring the doorbell and sure enough our little friends from the ocean survived their trip all the way to our house. We almost felt guilty looking at them longingly as they squirmed about in their chilled, moist, styrofoam habitat.



We each took a turn carefully extricating our own little friend from the box. The first few were hanging on to the others for dear life but guess what --- we are bigger and happened to be hungry. We read the instructions carefully and placed them head first into boiling water.



Ben was brave and went first and didn't seem to be bothered by the final step in the process, ripping the claws and tail apart from the body.





What a sacrifice those little guys made to make our Christmas merry! They were so sweet dipped in butter. We will never look at lobster quite the same way again. That was the tastiest lobster I have ever had. WOW! What a fun treat and a memory that will last forever. LOBSTAH!

Thanks Rick.
