We celebrated our 4th Anniversary on the 20th. Adam had the idea that we should cook a lobster for our "date" (with Ryan). We headed to Sobeys and bought one live. We'd read that you should pick a fiesty one out of the tank, so we chose one that was moving all around. Ryan loved the little lady. He chased it all over the kitchen and we had to keep pulling him away.
Adam wanted me to do the honors of putting it in the pot of boiling water, but once we cut the elastics off its claws I chickened out. It was squirming in my hands and I felt like a murderer and made him do it. Cold-hearted. I think Ryan was mad that we killed his friend because he complained for our entire dinner.
I've had lobster before, but had forgotten how scrumptious it was! We LOVED it. Definitely messy! And by the way, don't try to buy lobster scissors at the dollar store. They bent on the first attempt at cutting....
The next night we got a babysitter so that we could go to the temple. Ryan was a good boy and played the whole time with Meghan, one of the dental students in Adam's class. Thanks Meghan!
happy anniversary :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary! I can't believe you have been married for 4 years. I thought I got married a long time before you, but not really. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeletehaha love the lobster playing with ryan - very scotia-esk
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the anniversary. Lobster is one of my absolute favorites as well. I couldn't kill them either....I remember living in Maine and my dad made leashes for us to walk the lobsters around the backyard....we cried when they were dumped into the pots. :(
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I think that was funny that you made Adam throw the lobster in the pot, I probably would have done the same thing.
