Lobstah dinnah

[judecorp]

p.s. Jennifer made lobstahs in the lobstah pot I got her for our anniversary. And that was cool, except that I learned today that buying live lobstahs at the store and putting them in a lobstah bag and thinking about their impending demise just plain makes me sad for them. So I had to go in the other room and do my taxes while they were, erm, turning red. Poor widdle lobstahs, removed from their tank with all of their friends, alive when they came into my home...

But they sure were yumm-ay!

Lobsters do not have to be cooked live. You can (ask Jennifer to) stab them between the eyes with a large knife before you throw them in the pot. This will kill them instantly and they will still cook up just fine.

I don't think they feel pain, but if you can kill them first you might as well do so.

"Poor widdle lobstahs"

Consistent pronunciation: "widdle wobstahs"

Thanks for the correction - wobstahs!

Yeah, you can stab them first, and I'm pretty sure How To Cook Everything even showed exactly where on diagrams, but that freaks me out, too.

It's not really /how/ they die, more that they were alive when they came into the house. I feel like I've betrayed them somehow.
