Lobsters

Posted byzoePosted inFood

I didn’t post about food since a long while. So I will open this food chapter with a local delicatessen which was also our new year’s eve main dish: Maine’s favorite lobsters!

I promised to my two children that if they would do some homework (among them finding an Einstein’s riddle), we would have lobsters for New Year’s Eve’s dinner. Oh, how motivated they were! I found a pier where I could buy lobsters, and because they were opened only mornings, I thought it would make sense to get them alive. So I cook my first lobsters at home – steamed them*. These lobsters were the biggest I have ever seen, worth a post on a blog even 8 months later…

  • Alive
  • With a sweet potato and green beans
  • Steamed – in a normal plate

* Cooking instructions:

Perfect cooking time – if boiling, fill with fresh seawater or water salted to taste, 3 quarts of water per 1 1⁄2-2 l bs. of lobster. If steaming, add water t o a depth of three inches t o bottom of t he pot. Add the lobster when the water is boiling, do not cover if immersed into water.
