It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Lobster Lovers!

Instead of talking about (ahem), Monday, I haven't gotten around yet to telling you about our LOBSTER FEST at Buddy Joe's on Saturday!

After hearing all our stories about Lobster during vacation, Buddy Joe decided he wanted some lobsters and proposed a lobster bake at his house.

I agreed, at lightning speed.

I shopped for them. Walmart had the best price, ($12.67/lb vs. $18.99 at the seafood shop). They ranged in size from a pound to just under 2 lbs. The smaller ones are the most tender, by the way!

I picked them out myself, and the 'seafood guy' at Walmart (who happens to be from Florida) was EXTREMELY nice and kind. He packed them in a styrofoam cooler, put cold packs in the bottom, and didn't charge me extra for that.

$192 later (which Joe indicates came from his economic stimulus tax rebate check), we had us a lobster boil. We cooked them in Joe's outdoor turkey fryer - see photos.

We had homemade salsa and tortilla chips while they cooked. We had sausage, red potatoes, and cole slaw with the lobsters (2 each). We also had peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies for dessert! They were outstanding, and we had a wonderful time.

A lobster fest in Tennessee - who would have thunk it? THANK YOU, JOE!
