I only accuse myself of being fat. I am overweight. I eat too much, especially carbs. I eat too much and drink too much beer and wine.

Well sure - plenty of cheap lobster at Martha's Vinyard. My lobster was only 12oz, which is about 3.5oz of meat. I considered it more of a garnish for the steak. Lobster has been cheap all year since we're not exporting it to China. -sw |

Still one question: live or frozen? I know they sell frozen lobster tails but not sure about frozen whole ones. I never look in the frozen seafood section except for shrimp. |

Live lobsters right off the boats for only $1.00 per pound. The company had their own boats and covered dock at the marina. Inside the covered dock, lobsters were in columns of trays with constantly running water to keep them alive. Each tray was labeled by lobster size so you could easily find the size you want. For my 18th birthday, we went there and got an 8lb lobster (for 5 people). |

Good question though, how would bread taste with butter and chives? (or butter and parsley, in this case). |

Not sure what planet they come from but it's not this one. It's like slamming me for eating 'more than my share of apples'. I have 2 apple trees, crop 400 or so between them. I give 300 away to neighbors. Been doing that for 8 years now. |

My ship pulled in early the evening before T-day (we weren't supposed to arrive for 2 more weeks). It was just after the commisarry closed and Don hadn't planned a turkey with just him and Charlotte. I used the only bird I had, which was a cornish hen. We fixed a lot of sides and filled up fine, even had a few leftovers off that small bird. Admittedly that is trimmer than I normally would go, but 1/2 a cornish hen works fine for normal people. |

Sadly, I have the opposite problem but I'm not *too far off* my goal. People generally do not understand that one. It sounds like a glorious 'problem' to be able to eat all you want all the time. I remember helping Charlotte lose a few lbs to enter the Navy. Local folks laughed that I was making her carb meals because they were die-hard 'low carb is how to do it'. She went from 162 to 138 over several months. Her real problem is a very large chest. At 162, she wears size 12 pants. At 138, she was borrowing my size 8 jeans and they were a little loose on both of us. Charlotte managed to escape the family trait of being so thin, we look like a pipecleaner with the fuzz pulled off... She is 'normal' and slightly to the thinner side if she gets some level of exersize. |

My thought is that to get to inland Austin, it came there either live or frozen. Only other choice would be a pasteurized whole lobster in the shell. Never heard of that but it could be true. I can buy cooked, picked, and pasteurized crab here in season. If the store cooked it for him, that's a live lobster that he asked to be cooked. Or it could have come frozen and he saw it in the seafood showcase, now thawed and on ice to simulate fresh. They do that with shrimp here. I'm hoping for a straight answer this time and no more games. |

It would be a different kind. Bruce once said I had a special kind of snootiness, so maybe he could use that kind. And to prevent attribution errors by newcomers, Sqwertz never dissed me, at least not yet. |
