I was in a local bar near Boston eating fish chowder for the first NHL OT game. Alot of boozed-hyped up folks in Bruin sweaters, all around. But, it turned into sad-sleepy-boozed-up folks when "the Black Hawks" did their thing :)

They can't be dead when you buy them tho - in the Paris aquarium we saw shrimp bigger than most lobsters, and lobsters bigger than most VWs... I was *starving* by the end!

Got to get them fresh off the boat or at least from the lobster car at the wharf. We still haven't scarped up our annual lobster dinner down at the Five Islands Wharf this year. Damn, we just don't have our priorities sorted out properly.

Cheerily,

Well, my birthday lobster on Wednesday was disappointing, completely dry, chewy, and not as full-flavored as usual.

Got another chance for our anniversary in a couple weeks.

I moved to this part of the world for two reasons: proximity to the ocean and Homarus americanus.

I want one - piping hot, cooked in a beautiful thermidore recipe - and I want it now. All to myself. I shan't share it with anyone. Mine, all mine. Mwwaaahhh...!
