We Had a Boston Seafood Extravaganza
I've Moved! The Boomer Chronicles has closed after 6 years, but you can keep up with me on my new blog at http://www.rheabecker.com
In my continuing quest to enjoy more seafood before the entire ocean is saturated in oil, I invited five friends last night for a Seafood Extravaganza on my back deck. Living in Boston it’s easy to procure fresh seafood, so I went down to the Harbor to Yankee Lobster and bought six Maine lobsters ($5.99/lb.), 4 lbs. of steamers, 1 crab, 3 crab cakes, and lots of lemon and butter. I steamed the shellfish in a combination of beer and water. The meal turned out great. Accompanying our meal were a concoction of watermelon and fresh mint, as well as beer. A good time was had by all.

And to think that some people prefer their fish saturated in oil AFTER it’s caught! Ugh, either way. Sounds like you had a yummy and lovely evening.

I’m jealous.

Wow. Wish I could have been there. I’ll bet it’s all that seafood consumption that helps you Massachusetts folks live so long.
