Directions: |
Directions:"Plan on at least one lobster per person. Drop live lobsters (pegged, if possible) into a very large pot of boiling water. Boil rapidly for 12-15 minutes (depending on size and hardness of shell; best lobsters are 1-1 1/2 lb. each). Drain.
Serve lobster with melted butter and whatever else you eat with lobster. I always serve fresh lemon wedges.
For dessert, serve blueberry pie to the hearty eaters and something very light to those who stuff themselves on lobster." |

Notes: What wonderful Deer Isle generational memories we all share. Going to the pound (which I understand is now defunct) and picking out our very own lobsters was always a special treat. Sometimes we would have them prepared "on site" and we'd sit on one of those rickety picnic tables and watch the sunset. Other times, we'd take them back to the house and wrestle them into the largest pot we owned--either venue, it was gastronomic bliss! MKD
