Recently, we and some friends decided to take advantage of living in New England and visited the town of Marblehead, Massachusetts. While there, we came across a man named Paul, who was selling lobsters out of the back of his truck. He has been lobstering for the past 48 years, so needless to say he had some rather fine lobsters for sale.
We bought a live lobster for each of us, packed them on ice, and rushed them back to Boston. None of us had ever boiled a lobster alive, but Paul assured us it was a relatively easy process. All we had to do was bring a large pot of water up to a boil, place the live lobster inside, wait for the water to return to a boil, and allow the lobsters to cook for 12 minutes.
We followed Paul's advice without incident; no screaming, thrashing, or escaping! The end result was a delicious feast.

These look soooooo good...
ReplyDeleteJoel is so jealous. He wants to know how it compared to Pete's Place? We also wants to visit you now to get some of the lobster himself. Maybe we will have to try to make it to Boston sometime. :) I have always wanted to go there. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat work, you two!
