I missed putting this up yesterday, because it was our annual Lobster New Year’s. We’ve been doing it since the 80’s. We had to go out and pick up 7 live lobsters, 5 big sized-muthas, and two chicks as they call the little ones here — or maybe that’s just my neighbour Barb, she’s from out that way?As well, we got some jumbo prawns. It’s funny though, since we only do this once a year, I don’t look at how much it is per pound. But it’s a Chinese market, and the wife always yells at the guy she gives the lobster to… “Don’t cut ‘em up! I’m gonna kill ‘em. I want it fresh.” I know the prawns were a ridiculous price. And so was the final bill. But hey, it’s family, and the day I charge my kids for eating dinner here, is…well, it’s probably because we’ve become the 51st State.
