Yep, all afternoon was spent having to go downstairs to the bathroom as apparently while I have no problem holding my dinner while it's alive, I cannot pee in front of it. Who knew??Lobster night with the neighbors last night - 8 atlantic lobsters all purchased for a ghastly price.
And a hint learned from my "mom" at work: if the lobster wrangler (seriously, what else can he be called??) pulls the lobster from the tank and the lobsters stiffens up, then curls, that's the one you want. The feistier the better. And it's funny to watch the cashier at the grocery store freak out when she drags the little bag across the scanner and it moves (they don't like the lights from the scanner laser).
Easy to make, boil a ton of water with lots of salt thrown in - apo. 20 - 25 minutes.
Contrary to popular belief they do not scream when you put them in the pot....but a few do try to climb out.
All cooked and ready to be eaten. We were all so excited to dig in that there are no pictures of them cracked open, or the melted butter. Delicious though and a lot more cost effective than going to a restaurant where they charge you $50 - $60 for a lobster (these were $15 each).
"help me, help me"
