Winner, Winner, Lobster Dinner

Lobster, their last meal will be our best...

The Kuna men paddle by in their dugout boats several times a day selling various fresh catches. After twice refusing, we manage to negotiate $25 for 2 big lobsters and 2 medium lobsters. I refuse to take part in their boiling, and after watching Julie and Julia last night, I’m quite convinced that if I boil them to death they will come leaping out at me. I will not be a lobster killer. But after the lunch of canned Salmon, mayonnaise with potato salad (I say this because there was a higher mayonnaise to anything ratio in this salad of nastiness), and cold baked beans, murdered lobster is sounding delectable. Here’s hoping the baby cockroaches infesting the kitchen don’t get to it first…36 hours!

The fresh-from-the-sea-to-my-plate lobster was delicious! By far the best meal we’ve had so far, probably because we actually ate fresh seafood and prepared it without the Captain. I knew Captain Jekyll was going to lose his shit when we put the cutting board with the lobster onto his precious newly-painted deck to crack it open. After working for a long time to pry the meat lose, we finally ate and I now understand why lobster is so expensive in restaurants. All the Captain could say was that it was just okay, blah blah blah lobster is overrated blah blah blah. But of course his meal of mayonnaise salad and baked beans was absolutely delicious…what is wrong with that man? He sure makes for some entertaining blog entries though!
