\"\"<\/a>One of the items on my Christmas List 2009<\/a> were some Maine Lobsters.\u00a0 Those who know me know that I really like Maine lobsters.\u00a0 My favorite are the lobsters with the soft shell–the kind that you can tear apart with your bare hands.<\/p>\n

On December 23rd, I received a box in the mail (about 10AM). I opened it up and there were two beautiful lobsters. I took them out and they were still kicking which means they were really fresh. Despite all the Christmas shopping I needed to do, I didn’t go out.\u00a0 Instead, I decided to play with my new gifts.<\/p>\n

Part of the packing materials was a set of instructions on how to prepare the lobster to how to eat your lobster (along with a set of bibs). I quickly read through the instructions (RTFM) and proceeded with my new adventure.\u00a0 Calling it an adventure makes it sound like a complicated process.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I did:\u00a0 I started to boil some water (not too much, I prefer steaming them).\u00a0 Added salt. Put in a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning.\u00a0 Cut the rubber bands off the claws, and threw them in for 10-15 minutes.\u00a0 Then I made some clarified butter and sliced up some lemons.<\/p>\n

I can see myself ordering from Simply Lobsters in the future.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the tasty Christmas gift Auntie Ann!<\/p>\n
