Comments on: How to cook a lobster. Not. http://www.scarymommy.com/cold-blooded-killer/ A Mommy Blog written by Jill Smokler, a Baltimore mother with three young children Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:34:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Laffitupfzbl http://www.scarymommy.com/cold-blooded-killer/#comment-67723 Laffitupfzbl Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:34:32 +0000 http://scarymommy.com/?p=120#comment-67723 Did you know that the lobster is a distant cousin of the cockroach? Makes sense, if you look at the two side by side. I tried lobster once and thought it tasted like a cockroach. But, I'm a fan of cooking shows, and if you put them in the fridge an hour before you cook them, it sends them into a nice, coma like sleep. No squirming before the plunge. Best of luck!

Once a friend of mine, who happened to live in Maine at the time, who I happened to be visiting in Maine at the time, decided to take me out for a whole lobster. Having grown up in Arizona I had only had lobster tail at Red Lobster. Hardly an initiation. So, I was a bit grossed out, especially when I made the mistake of cracking open the body. Ugh. It was a long time before I could eat it again. .-= Sandy´s last blog ..I'm an internet celebrity...who are you? =-.

People have eaten many different things for thousands of years. If you people cannot deal with the truth, then become vegans. I personally have no problem knowing where my food comes from and dealing with it.I suppose you believe hamburger grows in a styrofoam plate and has a plastic wrap skin. <br/><br/>As for Dad, I won't even go there. People who can survive and take care of themselves and their family are exactly the people we need in charge in this country!! I cannot believe all the bleeding hearts here!!

First of all, they had 15 people staying at their beach house, and bought one lobster for each. They pick up the lobsters, and bring them home. Then, before they put them in the boiling water, they have a "lobster race" on the kitchen floor. This, apparently, is a tradition in some parts of New England. Hmmmm...I can only imagine the chaos! BTW, I'm hosting a Recipe Week on my blog, starting tomorrow. Please stop by and see what's cookin'!

I could never cook Lobster. I'm just glad I don't like seafood to start with.<br/><br/>And I used to have issues with touching raw meat, but those disappered after the birth of my 1st child.
