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. It is my own fault that I am fat, as none of my 4 siblings were ever fat.

I've lost a few LBS since becoming Vegetarian!

And I love my WinXP box! It has all my Cheep Effects stuff on it! Gotta port that all over to my MacinSLUT someday. But at least I have access to it again!

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.

I've got $10 says he procrastinates until the hard drive on his
WinXP box does and he loses everything.

Well there ya go. You win again, Steve. I knew you would.
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.

1971 Newport RI. 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).

Just couple months ago lobster men were asking for financial
assistance from the government because times were so hard for them. I
would assume that hard times would lead to cheaper lobster.

If Martha did not buy those lobsters the guys that catch them would be
in even worse shape. Good for her, helping the economy.

LOL, why would anyone slam another over a dinner because of COVID? The
twit poster said waiting for hours for a bag of potatoes? 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.

I was saying I agree. 5$ lobsters are quite possible. You see them
here from time to time (at least tails).

Same here or I have a plan for the leftovers.

I still remember a very special Thanksgiving in Sasebo. 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.

I wouldn't worry too much Bryan. 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.

I always thought she was the next Julia Child. If only she could manage to finally stop all of the bumps and scrapes outside of the

Yes. 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.

I could, but I'm also trying to develop my own kind.

Don't despair, he will.
