One of my husband's recent work trips landed him in the lovely province of Halifax. Being famous for their lobster it was only natural I requested some be brought home. He obliged and as his carry on luggage were 5 lively lobsters on their way to being a meal! The flight is a long one and although my promise to pick him up at the airport was fulfilled cooking at 11:30pm was a little out of the question.
Who needs to wait until dinner, first thing in the morning there was a pot of salt water boiling and 5 lobsters enjoying the last few minutes of their lives.... While my little boy looked on in wonder as I put the skittish little crustaceans into a boiling bath we all waited for breakfast to be served. 15-20 minutes later the now vividly red lobsters took a cool bath in some iced salt water. It stops the cooking and prevents it from sticking to the shell. Fresh French bread, garlic butter and delectably sweet lobster far outweigh a breakfast burrito any day!
