lobsta rolls – take 2

August 19th, 2007 · 6 Comments

�

my guy humors me.� he�buys�me two different batches of lobster from the same place at the same time.� one batch is twice the price for half as much.� that batch comes from two freshly steamed ‘chicks’ whereas the other comes from lobsters that were ‘on their way out’ – meaning that they’re showing signs of slow decline�and so they’re steamed before they just up and die.� then they get�shelled and the meat is vacuum packed and frozen.

i was agonizing, as i do, which one to buy.� i was hung up on the possibility that there might be some kind of textural difference – and we wouldn’t want a textural problem now would we?� and so while i�struggled�with this seemingly major culinary decision�as cary both patiently and amusedly watched me�thrash out�all aspects�of every lobster meat scenario�one might come across, he came up with the decidedly brilliant idea to buy both and to taste test.� and that right there – that is so my kinda language. �that is so like whispering sweet nothings in my ear.��and that is how my guy humors me.� so if you’re reading, thank you baby. (though he rarely humors me by reading my blog…)

bottom line.
texture/flavor – no big diff.

but�the price difference was ridiculous.� again, literally twice the $ for less than half the meat. so now we know.� and armed with this info, we�can�guiltlessly�indulge on lobster more frequently.� excellent.

we started with an arugula salad�adorned with�some cantelope, various cherry heirlooms and buffalo mozarella.� the final touch was some guerande salt, a grind of black pepper, olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

on to the lobster rolls.� i couldn’t get the ‘top split’ buns and believe me, i tried -�but this time i made the wise decision to use the pepperidge farm classic’s – as opposed to the potato�buns which i did not like.� i tossed the meat with a minor amount of ‘stokes blushed tomato mayo’, a small amount of diced celery and some salt and pepper.� the buns were lightly buttered and browned on my stovetop grill plate.� and then right before that first bite they were�hit with a shpritz of lemon just to brighten it all up.

the roasted okra made another appearance along with some corn on the cob.� i had bought the obligatory dill pickles but forgot to serve them…

the lobster rolls just could not have been better.� i was going to add fresh tarragon but there wasn’t any to be found – and i think it worked in my favor.� the simplicity of how this works together just can not be beat.�

hell yeah

(inspired by ‘last nights dinner’ recent post)�

    I’ll take it as written. You’re looking and I assume P was auditioning. Although he did okay for awhile, his biggest failing is that he jumped subjects rather than address issues and tried to look good by harping on an opponent’s mistakes.Guys like P figure such tactics work for Rush but they don’t realize Limbaugh’s opponents are prescreened and cut short when he’s in a hole. And it’s schtich Limbaugh has honed over decades

    As usual, Dickinson presented the material for this class in an enlightening and interesting–and of course, humorous–manner. Some dry readings, and you do have to do all of them, but, in general, the subject matter is interesting and relatable to real-world events. In the end, a super solid class with one of Middlebury’s funniest and best professors.

    Hi Fred. No, I’m not criticizing you. I worked for NJ.com about 13 years ago. I can’t remember the blog’s title but it was under my name. My editor would occasionally have news staff pick fights with me over gun control, politics, etc. I think I recognize some tells that indicate P is part of the dailyrecord.com staff. Their writing skill aren’t as tight as the regular newspaper (more like TV) and they rely on web skill more that their own brain cells.Anyways, that’s what I was referring to.

    Jahaja.. Er du uenig i at det tyske regimet i Oslo i 1940-1945 var et naziregime? Er det rasisme å hevde noe slikt? Eller er du saklig uenig i at Tel Aviv-regimet er zionistisk?Hvis du faktisk skulle være av den oppfatning at okkupantregimet i Tel Aviv ikke er zionistisk, ville jeg sette stor pris på om du kunne dokumentere denne påstanden.Men sannsynligheten er vel stor for at du ikke aner hva zionisme er, hvilken selvsagt vanskeliggjør en saklig meningsutveksling, enn si en virkelig dialog.Det siste inlegget frå Vidd er

    Antwerp is cloudy and 6º, showers earlier, winds from the NW.Not unsimilar to Houston, TX.7º, rain earlier, cloudy now, winds from the NW.BTW, I think Carl in Jerusalem runs a good blog, from what I’ve seen, and I am certain he did not know that a new Chief Rabbi had been selected.

    Dolce Maria – I think that the bottom line here is that you should just know when to stop and when enough is enough. It is like everything else – if you overdo your makeup, you get the reversed effect and instead of looking beautiful, you start looking pitiful… So sad that not all women can understand that..

    more correctly it's the sweetness of style, a healthy diet and LOTS of exercise. Throw in a good measure of good-looking "genes" and you're a hottie with make up. Which she is, I might add. No cover up here, just pure fitness and genuine beauty. I should add that's her 19 year old daughter to her right, and her 30 something sister on her left. Yep, the whole family stinks of good looks.

    For some reason, I thought a dangling modifier was a line ending in "to," "from" or "with." I guess those are prepositions, and I dangle prepositions all the time! Luckily, I do not dangle modifiers. Your examples and comments were hilarious! Great post! 😀

I don’t know why it can’t understand certain rules as all the other browsers do. Microsoft’s arrogance or an innocent mistake? who knows!
