When “The Cousins” come down from Boston, they come with a suitcase full of clothes and three filled with food – and this visit was no exception. When they flew down to Baltimore in February, Nunce had frozen lobster sauce flat in freezer bags and packed them…and a whole ham…in one of her checked pieces of luggage. This time, The Cousins came by car, so there wasn’t a need to freeze everything. In fact – they didn’t even cook everything. They came down with two boxes of living, breathing lobsters.
Well – the Box O’ Crustaceans was a big hit with my toddler! She was on the floor petting the lobster, talking to the lobster…waving to the lobster from across the room. She loved every minute of it. Eventually, the lobster had to go in the pot, so I whisked Rosie off to the bathroom to scrub any residual lobster slim from her hands and arms. Once they were all cooked, every feasted on the little critters who, less than an hour earlier, were Rosie’s new friends.
Rosie thoroughly enjoyed both the lobster and the lobster sauce (Nunce’s lobster sauce is beyond good – it is exquisite). The highlight of the day, however, came after the meal had been served. Rosie looked at the big bowl of empty lobster shells, pointed to it and said “Oh no! What happen? The Yobsta!”
