Or Lobster, I was really just trying to sound like a local, but failing miserably!
Our first weekend up here we picked up 2 lobsters from the store – my first experience cooking lobster.
Madeleine’s not too sure what to think with the lobster, however Abel (Noah and Mindy’s oldest) shows no fear!
First we boiled the water in a big pot, then we (okay, Noah) snipped the bands off there claws (I was too chicken!). After a few minutes they turn this beautiful color.
Time for dissecting. I learned to pop the head off, scrape the yucky yellow green goop out, slip my finger under the tail shell and crack it off, lastly, take and break the claws to get all the yummy goodness out.
Madeleine’s ready for her first shellfish experience.
What the? Are you kidding me? Is this all the meat you get from 2 lobsters? Good thing we had lobster pasta, or else we might have had a hungry crew. Mindy is a mother of 4 so she knows all too well how to stretch the portions to feed her hungry clan. I loved it and can’t wait for more!

Hey Kara! I can't believe that is all the meat you got out of that lobster. It's a good thing I don't like seafood because it's too expensive!!!! Anyway, I love your posts. Can't wait to see you!
What a fun adventure for you living in Maine! I love the pictures of everything. My brother served his mission in Maine like 20 years ago, but he can still crack me up when he talks in his Maine accent.
Maybe the lobster will be cheaper when you get back so that we can do it again! I hope you had a safe journey today.
