These bad boys are going to be dismantled and put in my belly soon with some butter.
Once you start a tradition, you have to uphold it.
I am again celebrating my Mom’s life and teachings by killing a lobster with my bare hands on the anniversary of her death. I thought Gary might want to participate, but he does not. When I called from work I found he’s back on his diet. I’d call it the six-bite diet, but when I got home it seems he’d consumed several pounds of raw vegetables. He’s very uncomfortable right now.
When I heard he wasn’t participating, I thought, “Well, I’ll just go home and have something frozen.” And then Mom-in-My-Head roared, “When I have I suggested that it is even remotely acceptable to put an Event on hold because you don’t have a man sharing it with you?”
So, both these bad boys are for me and my Mom.

And you’re astonished that I can write with impunity about merely hosing off a strange cat???
I have had little lobster in my life. Enjoy yours. You have earned it.
I have never cooked a live lobster. I’m too squeamish to even eat raw oysters because they’re still alive. However, once something is dead I’m all over eating it. Enjoy the lobster!
Lobster a la Risholme to follow by any chance?
Big Dot – I’m pretty sure hosing down a cat trapped in a crate is worse than killing a lobster. Let’s ask Becs.Hattie – Well, not really. It isn’t like I’m a lobster trapper.Amy in StL – I enjoyed to last of it tonight. I’ve had oysters, but they didn’t appeal to me. Pribably because someone at the table said they tasted like mucus.Becs – Miss Mapp KILLED me. I never got past her. I need to skip it, it’s the second book, and then I can get back to Lucia.
Lucia on her own isn’t so great either – sort of irritating. Jump straight to the waspish glory of Mapp and Lucia. Have you seen the TV version? FABULOUS!
I just have to say that I’m sorry I couldn’t massacre lobsters with you this year. I hope they were tasty and didn’t foam-puke in their crate.
Big Dot – Well, Lucia was the first book, so I started there. I have seen the series, of course, on Masterpiece Theater. Speaking of: has anyine seen the new Upstairs Downstairs? Worthwhile?Hot Mom – They only foam-puke if they’ve been airborne, it seems. We played grab the scissors before they died. They have good grips.
