Lobster Tales
A few weeks ago, Carl and I cooked a lobster and steak dinner. Correction...Carl and I cooked our very first live lobster dinner.
Armed with a recipe from LobsterHelp.com, a camera and big appetites, we trekked to our neighborhood market and purchased a very lively one-pound crustacean.
I wanted to give the little guy a name but Carl refused.
Upon returning home from the market, I mistakenly thought our lobster had died. Here he is springing back to life in our sink.
Boiling water, basil leaves, thyme and lots of lemon.
Carl dropping Lobsty in the pot.
Now we're cookin'
Carl's famous (practically rare) steak.
Ta-da!!
I know it may seem a bit cruel, but we had a great time cooking together and our meal was delicious. We enjoyed a starter salad, the lobster (and butter sauce), steak and a bit of fettucine pasta. Very filling...very tasty.
