From Maine to Boone...a lobster's tale...
Who knew lobsters' had eyelashes or little horns on the tops of their heads. I swear the buggers have mandibles, but what do I know? If it wasn't for the generosity of Melissa, then this hillbilly would still be in the dark on the nature of such beings. I know this for sure; the bugs taste mighty good.
Mainelife sent me 6 lobsters today. They arrived at work and well, we don't get stuff like this in these parts often. The critters drew quite a crowd in the office.
"Oh my daughter loves to look at the two of them swimming in the tank at the grocery store," said one woman.
"I' ve only had the frozen tails before, and though sweet, were too chewy," said the guy with a long beard.
"Hmmm...who got lobsters? Are they really alive?"
When she gets round to posting it , Gnumoon made a really cute outfit for our little office mascot...
My husband and I boiled the bugs tonight. I skipped an ASU basketball game to spend quality time with the him. We have no other friends nearby, so dined alone, sharing an IPA. The, we carefully extracted the meat and soaked it in a brine mixture to freeze for a Thanksgiving bisque.
I'm still stuffed with lobster meat yet also filled with the kindness and love of having an internet=real life friend. Tis sweeter than any Maine lobster meat. For real.
So, if you crave the meat and are inclined to help out the Maine Lostermen? Check out this site.
