... but you can't take the Maritimes out of the girl.
Two of my co-workers bought live lobster today from a fisherman who was selling them for $5 a pound in 10 and 20 pound lots. I'm apparently the only person in my office who's not afraid to touch them. I even stood one on its head and rubbed it between its eyes and put it to sleep.
It looks like they want hugs, doesn't it?

What I don't get is how you can rub them between the eyes to put them to sleep, but then go ahead and dunk them in boiling water and eat them! I mean, I rub The Girl between the eyes to put her to sleep! However, I'm also the kind of person who names the worms and then has trouble using them as bait (How can I put them on a hook? They're alive, and I just named them all Fred!).
Oh! I don't do the lobster cooking. I can't play with them and then pop them in water. I do eat them occasionally but I find I get my fill really quickly.
I used to name worms too! And when I was really little, occassionally eat them... Mom freaked a little when she found out though. I think I was two at the time.
I loved the yarny goodness and the lobsters do look like they need a hug.
