It's 10.30 pm. The phone rings...
Me: Hello?
Joe: Mum... I've got a proposition for you.
Me: A what?
Joe: A proposition.
Me: Go on...
Joe: Do you fancy some lobster?
Me: Lobster? What, now?
Joe: Nick (
his friend) can get us some lobster... they're really cheap.
Me: Back of a lorry?
Joe: No, he gets them through work (
he does work for a restaurant)... so what do you think? Do you fancy a couple?
Me: (
To tired to really think through the reality of cooking lobster) Go on then...

The following morning... Bleary eyed I go to the fridge to get milk for my tea and I'm confronted by three of these beasts... and what's more they are actually moving!!! All I can think about is this...

There is no way I can put a live lobster in a pot of boiling water, but Joe cooked and prepared all three.

And this evening we had a fabulous lobster salad... perfect for this
summer wet August evening. Delicious!

And for the vegetarians.....

Courgettes of course!
