I've actually done this kind of thing on a regular basis and would be happy to execute the little buggers in the traditional Maine style. My preference is to stick them in the bathtub where they get drunk on the fresh water. Of course if someone wants to use the bathtub for bathing, the lobsters are probably incompatible.

It looks like JudyD and I are both available to come. Should we bring an extra stainless steel pot?

Are you doing corn on the cob as well? That will take another large pot.

Do you want a pickup truck full of seaweed and a tarp?

Cheerily,
