Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I had a fabulous weekend, which started with a delicious Friday evening.
After a trip to the local fresh fish shop, Christopher and I cooked up some live lobsters for the first time.
They were 1/5 lbs a piece, both males. The guy at the shop directed us to bring a pot of water to a boil, salt it quite heavily (so that a raw egg would float), toss the lobsters in and bring it back to a boil. Once the water was at a boil again we set the timer for 14 minutes.

For your viewing pleasure (they didn't squeal or scream as we expected):
We enjoyed baked potatoes, salad and bread with our lobstas.
I used a small fondue pot to keep the garlic butter melty and delicious for dipping purposes - mmmmm!
This was just the beginning of a tasty, tasty weekend.
Have you ever cooked lobster?
How was your Thanksgiving?
