And the butter, oh the butter!<BR/><BR/>Interesting little known fact is that the Pilgrims ate a lot of lobster because they were so plentiful - so much so that they were sick of it because they had it so often!<BR/><BR/>Dr. Rus &amp; Cedar - LOL! I&#39;ll be you&#39;re right - the lobster either peed in fright of the cat or the big pot of boiling water!<BR/><BR/>Babette - Heh, thanks for reading - and Happy New Year to you too!<BR/><BR/>Tonka Boy - Wow, your dinner sounds even better than ours! And, I let DH do the &quot;dropping into the boiling water&quot; - I also wouldn&#39;t have the heart to do it. And your Sophie is so precious - she does look just like our Basil!<BR/><BR/>Mountain Woman - thanks for the compliments - and now you&#39;ve seen lobster pee too! :-P<BR/><BR/>Diana - thanks, I&#39;ll check out the Family Foto Fun Friday.<BR/><BR/>Janett - heh heh, you must have cats too?<BR/><BR/>Rebecca - Yeah $4.99/lb WAS a great price. Each year we scour the flyers to see who&#39;s got the best price, seems like they often go on sale for a good price at New Year&#39;s. <BR/><BR/>Also, FYI, for those that are too squeamish like me, most supermarkets will steam them for you for free - you don&#39;t have to face the trauma of putting them into boiling water yourself if you don&#39;t want to. :-)<BR/><BR/>City Mouse - lobster races, huh? I&#39;ve heard a lot of things about what goes on at a restaurant, but that&#39;s a new one! Some of those critters can be pretty mad...Carolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01747445293077378146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-62746096704582662122009-01-03T21:41:00.000-05:002009-01-03T21:41:00.000-05:00When I worked in a seafood restaurant ages ago, we would take the lobsters out and race them on the carpet when the place was empty, LOL.

The only time I had real lobster was when I ordered a seafood plate at a Chinese restaurant in New York City! Never had it fresh off the critter, though, lol. Maybe I'll give it a shot someday. I'll have to return here for tips. ;)<BR/><BR/>P.S. $2.99 was a GREAT deal for lobster! I'm going to have to look out for that, next year, at our local Hannaford.Rebeccahttp://freakyfrugalite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-44760536952765406672009-01-02T18:19:00.000-05:002009-01-02T18:19:00.000-05:00Muahaha, that third picture just cracks me up!janetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04390467885023648533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-42228109922684691552009-01-02T13:11:00.000-05:002009-01-02T13:11:00.000-05:00Looks like a great time.<BR/><BR/>This is a perfect post for this week's Family FotoFun Friday found <A HREF="http://www.dianarambles.com/2009/01/ffff-8-new.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.Diana - FreeStyleMamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837630324310647062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-11738533093188705402009-01-02T08:28:00.000-05:002009-01-02T08:28:00.000-05:00Wow, what a festive holiday dinner. I loved your plates and your butter sauce pots too. The whole table setting was so much fun.<BR/>I've never seen lobster pee before either.<BR/>Happy New Year to you!Mountain Womanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135538968544231161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-43618729462686638702009-01-01T20:28:00.000-05:002009-01-01T20:28:00.000-05:00Looks like a great meal. We had oysters, crab, scallops, &amp; shrimp. And lots of butter! You have to have lots of guts to drop those lobsters in. Never done that.<BR/><BR/>BTW, we have a gray cat that looks like yours.<BR/><BR/>http://sophie.weborglodge.comtonka_boyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04724677214794295872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-5716429251613675992009-01-01T18:59:00.000-05:002009-01-01T18:59:00.000-05:00Hi, I read it!

Re: the pee,... well, I guess if I thought I was going to be dropped head first into boiling water, I might do that myself! It's been too long since I have had lobster, somehow a "lobstah roll" at a local eatery just isn't the same. Your New Year's Eve meal looks like heaven to me!Cedar ...http://www.blogger.com/profile/18179231224253338673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-66573537989131651352009-01-01T17:21:00.000-05:002009-01-01T17:21:00.000-05:00I'm guessing your Lobsters got scared and left the pee when they saw your cat getting closer!

I think I've eaten lobster off the shell once in my life. I look at it this way, if it takes longer than one second to get food in my mouth, it's too much work.<BR/><BR/>I would ignore all the little "deposit" myself. Best not to think about it. <BR/><BR/>Happy new year!Kathy at The Junk Drawerhttp://www.junkdrawerblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
