From beginning to the tasty end!

So my husband went lobster diving again.....So begins this post..



Meet my friend, well lets not make it personal, so we will just call him Charlie. Meet Charlie everyone!



Here is Charlie as he sits on my kitchen counter...fully alive! I say that because in the last post I wasn't there, at our friends house, when they brought the first catch home.

So there he sits dazed and confused as to where he is and where he is going......

After we took Charlie into my sons room and scared him half to death, he was brought back to his final destination.

See my son was woken up at about 11pm with a live lobster greeting him. He was a little freaked out. I mean wouldn't you be!! Open your eyes wide to a crustacean on your bed....it was funny because our cat was sleeping in bed with our son. She had no idea what to think. She did have the look on her face though and I would imagine she was thinking that this didn't look like any field mouse she had ever seen..





So once we left our poor child to nightmares of lobsters....We said our goodbyes and with one last yelp from Charlie......away he went......

Seems kinda cruel to put something completely alive into boiling water. Everything good and natural says its wrong, but this is the way to make them....Forgive us Father....lol..





So Charlie is now Chuck and a flush red.....

Apparently that means he is cooking up just right.......Hes almost done in the pot, ready for the broiler....a little butter, about 5 min in the oven and ..VIOLA!!!





A bonified Lobster.....fresh form the ocean to the table!!!

A dear friend commented " Wow! His resume just continues to enlarge." I would have to agree! We are never bored here in our home. I am proud of my husband the Lobster Slayer!!


ps. he doesn't catch these with a net or a cage. He dives down and grabs them with his bare hands risking his life and all that we have....ok maybe not that dramatic. I can just hear him grunting that manly grunt....lol...My hero!!
