Lemon Dill Lobster Salad Recipe


More often than not, I enjoy cooking. Yesterday quickly became one of the exceptions when my mom showed up at my door bearing fruits & a big bag of beautiful, live lobsters. Live. There were still living. Now, I'm not naive, I know that crustaceans should be cooked live for the freshest meat, but I just assume that someone else is doing the cooking!
So my mom drops them off & dips out before I can beg her to do it for me. I open the bag, & of course I see their little beady eyes staring back at me, & I had serious thoughts of heading to the beach to set them free! I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but it was like I turned PETA leader for a couple minutes as I stared at the pot heating up on the stove. So I did what any girl would do. I made my boyfriend do it for me!
