Maine’s Goodbye Gift

No, it wasn’t these bad boys…DSC_0005

Instead, it was our last minute purchase at the Bangor Airport! We had been on the hunt for fresh Maine lobster during our whole weekend and could only find lobster rolls which DID NOT meet my desires! Luckily, when we were buying breakfast we saw that they had a tank full of fresh lobsters!

These beautiful lobsters were only $12 per pound and that included the ice and Styrofoam cooler.

We had a nice early flight back to NYC and therefore arrived back to our apartment before lunch. We enjoyed the Big Apple BBQ for lunch but by 6pm we were consulting our favorite chef for her lobster suggestions.

These guys were not excited about plunging into the boiling water.

Oh yes, after a bit of boiling and a lot of cracking we had this plate of gorgeous lobster meat. IT WAS THE BEST LOBSTER I’VE EVER EATEN!

Yes, this is all we had for dinner Sunday night. Forget veggies and side dishes when my stomach is about to get lobster!

Thank you Maine for making up for your black flies with your delicious crustaceans!

    Thanks very much for this fantastic blog; this is the kind of thing that keeps me going through the day. I’ve been searching around for your blog after I heard about them from a buddy and was thrilled when I was able to find it after searching for some time. Being an avid blogger, I’m pleased to see others taking initiative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my appreciation for your work as it’s very encouraging, and many writers do not get the credit they deserve. I’m sure I’ll be back and will send some of my friends.
