Lobstah dinnah

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!

Alton Brown says in his Lobstah show (I *heart* Alton) to put your live lobstahs in the freezer for 10-15 minutes pre-boil to put them into a very humane slumber. By the time they are in the boil for 10 seconds, they are already gone.

Poor widdle lobstahs. :)

Oh, that's interesting. I think that would freak me out, too. Frozen lobstahs!! Damn, I wish I didn't like lobstahs so much and find them so damned tasty, because the whole idea of their poor widdle selves just bummed me out all night. (Except when I was eating, YUM!)

I'm such a hypocrite.
