All You Can Eat Lobster

 Monday, October 30, 2023

Wednesday we cooked up the catch. Alex wasn’t excited about taking the smelly animals home where they would sit for two days and Ben and Justin were going to Knotts Berry Farm Wednesday night and they were worried about them sitting in a cooler in a hot car and then taking them on a plane so the plan was to eat them on Wednesday.

I worked in the morning until every one was up and about, and then the production started. About 11:00 we executed the first lobster and then it was quite the production line until we had all eaten our fill by 2:00. Because we wanted to be able to say we had “Surf & Turf” Justin went and bought some high end stakes and Ben fried them up in butter, rosemary and tyme. It was all very delicious. 

In the end Ben decided to pack up one lobster that had been gutted and cleaned and took it home in a small cooler. We also kept back two lobsters for Lisa and Angelina. They also turned out great.

In the end, Lisa and Angelina couldn’t eat all the lobster and there were many crabs left over. I figured I would at least save the crab legs but after cracking a few open, I decided it wasn’t worth it. We kept the left over lobster and threw out the left over crabs. It was a waste but I just know we won’t be eating them.

The only problem is that now the garbage can really stinks, it assaults you when you go out the back door. I moved it to the side of the house but now the odor drifts to the front of the house and gets you when you walk to the car. The garbage goes out tomorrow after which I will be washing down the garbage can.
