EEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK LOBSTER ON THE LOOSE!

Oh, dinner tonight was sooooo much fun! Frenchie and I are cooking throught the 50 states. Maine is steamed lobster. YUMMMMMMM! But first, you have to be a murderer! I'm not kidding! I walked into Martin's and told the seafood guy "I'll take those 3 lobsters." Of course he talks to them the entire time... Puts them in a styrofoam container, where they are fighting and dancing... Everyone gives you advice and warnings, through the entire store! The cashier was afraid to turn them upside down to scan them. (honey, turning them upside down isn't going to hurt them, I am going home to drop them in a pot of boiling water!) I bring them home and open up the container, and they start moving! I start screaming! The kids are loving this! We put a little Black Eyed Peas on the stereo, and the lobsters start dancing to the beat. I call my friend and tell her she has got to come watch this! She is here within minutes. I drop them in the boiling water... Everyone is standing around taking pictures of this moment! 16 minutes later, they are ready to be shelled. This took forever and we had very little meat, but it was very worth it! We served it with some baguettes, spinach and strawberry salad, French butter and a few leftover crab cakes. YUM!!!! Here are some fun pics from our lobster experience. Yes, my son is wearing the antennaes on his head...
