HOW DO YOU COOK LOBSTERS?
Y' boil the sh*t out of 'em!
Little did I realize what I was in for when I brought home 8 - live lobsters in a plastic bucket.
I set about to prepare a fine repast per guest of 1.25-1.50lb Live Maine Lobster, 10 oz. of Shrimp & Corn Chowder, 1/2lb Shrimp
Potatoes, 4 oz. of Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake. I had fresh Oyster Crackers and a Set of Metal Shell Crackers & Pick Sets for every 2 people, Butter, Lemon, Sea Salt, Bibs, Placemats, Wetnaps, Seaweed & my Nor'Easter Cookbook.

I dragged out my heirloom Enameled Lobster Pot and began to bring the water to a boil. Did you have ANY idea that lobsters scream?!? It had never happened to me before - but, check this out - one lobster began squealing in a high (extremely annoying) voice: "OH PLEASE! ARE YOU PLANNING TO BOIL US ALIVE IN THAT THING?"
I was taken aback, but I found my voice and replied, "I've done it lots of times."
The lobster squealed, "THINK HOW THAT MUST FEEL?"
I said, "Every thing I've read says y' just drop the live marine animals into the boiling pot and they feel no pain, seriously!"
The lobster said, "Well, I can see why they might say that. You see, we feel pain - but we're not conscious of the fact that we feel it."
Well, there y' go. I boiled 7 - lobsters we had a magnificent dinner. I stuck the talking lobster in an aquarium. I named her Terri. She talks to me. She says she wants to live . . .
