We decided last weekend that we would have an adventure and cook our own live lobster! It was a lot of fun, kind of crazy, and very tasty!

We bought 2 lobsters, one for each of us, which turned out to be more than enough, especially considering we only had a pot big enough to fit one in at a time.  Also during out cooking escapades, we made some tasty appetizers, but while cooking those in the oven and using 2 burners we blew a fuse on the stove! SO, we ended up only eating one right away, and later took the other into Ayr, where my parents lent us a stove and also helped us eat the second one

It was pretty fun, all in all a definite adventure!  I have to say, lobsters are heavier than they look!  They are also a lot prettier once cooked   Although it does feel a little cruel watching them move around in the pot until they die…but we did try rubbing their heads to hypnotize them before hand, which apparantly helps to calm them down!

Delicious and fun!
