Home-cooked dinners!

We enjoy getting strange looking and unusual things to eat for dinner, the boys are usually very good sports about it. On this particular night last week me and the boys went grocery shopping, and while looking for delicious cuts of meat, we happened to check out the fresh lobster tank.

After mulling it over and over, I decided to splurge a lot and try my hand at cooking one. So, the butcher grabbed a big one, weighed it, and gently placed it in a cardboard box and away we went with it. Right when I got home, we put it in the sink and told Jeremy to come look at our surprise.



From there we terrorized the boys a little with it. And let me assure you, live lobsters don't like to be played with...



Then we borrowed a big pan to boil it in from the neighbor and simple as that, we were eating home cooked, fresh lobster, dipped in melted butter, and served with a healthy portion of red meat! It was definitely a dinner we will remember for awhile to come.
