Best. Husband. Ever

4 lbs. of live lobster: $80
Trying to save money by eating in: Utter failure
Romantic Valentine's Day dinner at home: Priceless

There truly are some things money can't buy. For everything else... there's money.



Amazing lobster dinner.



Melissa's contribution to dinner.

So at this point you might be asking yourself, "What's so great about cooking your own lobster as opposed to going out to a restaurant where they do it for you?" My answer: fun, fun fun! Honestly, who among you would not want to wrestle a 2 lb. lobster into a pot of boiling water knowing that extreme scalding may occur at any time? I used to consider lobsters somewhat docile creatures. That illusion was dispelled this evening about the time that one of them tried to execute a backhand spring out of my hand and onto the floor to freedom!

As is evidenced by the pictures above, he didn't make it. In fact, I must say that he was quite delicious.

On a non-Valentine's Day related note: We still haven't left the country yet. I know that many of you are desperate to get rid of us, but you (and when I say you I do mean my parents whom we will be descending upon within the next week) are stuck with us for another few weeks.

I know, my modesty is a wonderous example to you all.

To be fair though, Lissa started the post, but got busy gabbing with her mom so I just took over. Woo hoo! My first ever blog post. It's actually quite similar to posting on the forums, but with the added ability to put in picures.

Ooo... speaking of the forums...

There's nothing more romantic than killing and eating your own dinner ;) Actually it looks incredible!

I love the commercial at the beginning of the post ... I caught myself laughing at the computer without realizing it.

Yes, I'd actually heard that about lobsters... It still didn't stop me from standing over the pot and cackling, "So, do you feel like talking now Mr. Bond? Mwhahaha!"

Scientists also say that vegetables scream when placed in boiling water...
