Luke's Lobster Experience

Today's in class video reminded of this summer when my family and I all had lobster. We had all eaten lobster before, just not bought the live lobsters and boiled them ourselves. We were up in New England as a family and thought it would be great for each of us to get our own lobster to cook and clean. So we did. And while I love the taste of lobster, the experience let me down. The green guts and watery juices that spewed out from the insides left me with a loss of appetite. Also watching lobsters boil to their death made it tough, considering that my brother was racing them on the kitchen floor only minutes before. I wish I knew some of Julia Child's tricks and maybe my experience would have been better. However, I still love lobster, I would just rather have a restaurant prepare it for me.
