Lobsterfest

With one of our neighbors here in the RV Park being from New England, we knew it wouldn't be long before the subject would come up about ordering live lobsters flown in from Maine. Sure enough, the neighbors were soon collecting from those who wanted to participate and, of course, Carole & I wanted to be included.

Saturday was selected as the day for the "Lobsterfest", so lobsters were ordered to arrive on Saturday . . . and 24 live lobsters were delivered right here by FedEx about 9:30 Saturday morning. We were ready with tables & chairs, shell crackers, seafood picks, lobster bibs, melted butter, salad, and pots of boiling water.

About noon, the first live lobsters went into the pots without a squeal!















And soon after, boiled lobsters were ready for cracking!




Carole & I grabbed our lobster crackers and went to work like we knew what we were doing. The lobster was delicious. Of course, the melted butter, fresh spinach salad, and Bloody Mary all contributed to a great dinner. You can see we enjoyed it!




We weren't the only ones enjoying lobster. Tables had been set up between the RVs providing enough space for 24 neighbors to enjoy a wonderful lobster dinner.

















What an interesting get together. Good food, good drinks, and most importantly, new friends from all over the US and Canada. Lobsterfest! What a great idea. We'll have to do this again . . . or maybe we should have some "real steaks" flown in from Kansas City and have a "Steakfest".
