Monday - Fabulous Weekend

It was quite a full weekend.

I cooked lobster for the first time! I decided to give it a try. Lobster tails were on sale so every once in a while you must go for it.


Here I am about to put the tail in the boiling water. Really that's all it took...boiling salted water for about 5 minutes.

My apron says the wine is making me awesome!


Here's the finished product along with twice baked potatoes I made. It was the best lobster I've ever had. It took awhile to get it out of the shell (probably would help if I had cooking shears). But well worth the effort.

On Sunday we went to see Beauty and the Beast. It was my mother-in-law's first time to see a big production of anything. The show was very good and the woman playing Belle was an excellent singer. My favorite though was Gaston. Perfect voice and funny. We went to the matinee and there were so many girls dressed up like Belle or in their fancy dresses. The thing that impressed me was that the show has so many jokes the kids were amused. But Belle's dress was just wrong at the end. It wasn't the lovely golden yellow but more of a pale cream. That just wasn't right.

Of course I watched Olympics. Good news is Bob Costas will be back tonight. I miss Bob's style.
