Make lobster stew:

Here's step one. I've had to cook it in three batches; my house smells like a seafood shanty.


Auntie's 60th birthday gift.


And Summer Place for my cousin and her husband (and their new summer place).

Thanks for the Anniversary Wishes

I'm back in PA. Sorry to have fallen down there, but this not working thing, it really took a toll on my blogging.

Just to let you know how much lobster you missed:
Wednesday: lunch, Flo's Dogs. Dinner, batter fried clams at Ken's in Scarborough (I prefer crumb).
Thursday: lunch, farm stand tomato sandwiches. Dinner, shared a 6 lb lobster with my parents.
Friday: lunch, more Flo's. Dinner, buffet at the Colony one (small) lobster, steamers, and two cups of clam chowder
Saturday: lunch, more tomatoes. Dinner--I was dying for beans from the Steakhouse. I had the ribs too. There are leftover beans in my fridge right now. I think they may be calling.

And here's something that I worked on:
