Mom and Dad joined us today so we could celebrate together the new year tomorrow.
Those lobsters that had arrived on my birthday, which I’d briefly believed to be birthday gifts from my mother but ended up being intended for my father (see 10.357 The Special), Mom brought them and asked me to prepare them – but only 3 of the 4, setting aside 1 so that Dad could enjoy it by himself later on. If only W would learn from this example, it might be worth the ignomy.
Precooked and frozen out of the package, the lobsters were thawed, halved lengthwise, basted in garlic-butter, then grilled. Unfortunately, the residual moisture didn’t allow for proper caramelization within the short time that I was willing to stand in the sub-zero cold.
