The Three Pound Lobster
“got us 2 massssssssssive lobsters and oysters”
--text from cook while he was at the cape with his kiddos
Every once in a while he buys lobster. Whether it’s to tickle the kids’ fancies, because it’s on sale, or because he is somewhere where you gotta like “I mean, you’re at the Cape, you might as well, right?”
Right!
After that text I got a voice message saying “I know we were going to grill the steak, but I got lobster, some oysters... wait that’s all meat... oh wait we have Brussels sprouts too!” Those are the kind of days where I know to skip lunch!
For this meal I only had two jobs. Shuck the oysters and put the lid on the pot quickly.
But I got distracted. Thankfully the cook has a great sense of humor!
Thankfully I can shuck an oyster pretty well!
