A Celebratory Meal

There have been a number of things that have happened in our household recently that have been deserving of a celebration: 2 birthdays, an anniversary, and a completed degree.  So on Tuesday we decided to try something.  We went to the supermarket and bought some sea creatures to eat.

I’m not sure that a trip to the supermarket has ever been as much fun, for me or for L and K, as this one was.  On the way home, I asked L and K what the names of the lucky lobsters were.  K had a ready response: Sophie and Louie. 

Pam and I have had a few lobster meals in our lives and I dare say that Tuesday’s supper was as good as any lobster dinner I’ve had in a restaurant.  We started with some mussels and then enjoyed the lobster with corn, baked potato, and a nice bottle wine from Mission Hill.  L and K were also big fans, though they had to enjoy their meal without the grape juice.
 

I think that part of what made the meal so enjoyable for L and K was watching Mom and Dad get the meat out of the lobsters.  We didn’t have fancy tools, so we just used knives and scissors.

We’ll definitely do this again.  Anyone want to join us?
