Do you love to eat Lobster? We do and can never get enough...

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

I love to eat lobster, so with that said I am very thankful for my friends, Lisa Von Domek  and Debe Maxwell, CRS   for twisting my arm to go to Boston, MA for the NAR  convention but more particularly to go to the Meet Up at the Sheraton Hotel.

Since we moved to Los Angeles about 22+ years ago we had a tradition that who ever went to Boston, MA had to come back with at least two Lobsters. Generally that has been Diane on a consistent basis. There were a few exceptions when time did not permit it. My favorite place to purchase the live lobsters is at James Hook, because they pack it travel ready for the flight and are the least expensive place to buy fresh Maine Lobsters in Boston, MA. Hence, I have always stopped on the way home to Los Angeles and picked up my lobsters.

Needless to say this time was no exception either, just on a side note they do make a decent Lobster Roll at James Hooks, but I prefer to keep the Taxi running and pick up the Travel Ready Lobsters. So with that said we picked them up yesterday and yes you guessed it:  today's dinner was Lobster:))  Now tomorrow I will prepare it a different style from tonight's dinner.

In case you are wondering it was clarified butter infused with Thyme & Parsley and simply boiled potatoes with parsley and you add the clarified butter to your own taste:)). This one was about 2.5 lbs, my favorite because the meat is sweet and not tough. On a side note Diane was wondering why we did not eat one each and why we had to share:)

So I must give a special thank you to my Active Rain friends,  if you did not twist my arm  to join you at the Meet Up  I would not have had lobster for dinner tonight:))) Thank you again and Diane and I were so thrilled to meet you and the rest of the Active Rain gang.

Debe Maxwell, CRS  since time was short I guess I was not able to convey the real purpose why we suggested James Hook & Co.  well now you know, BTW you can order on line and they will ship to you and even their Clam Chowder is out of this world, Endre

Well, I hope you stood them on their heads and stroked their backs to calm them down before plunging them into the boiling water, Endre. That's a little trick I picked up in Maine one summer.

Debe Maxwell, CRS  The Live Lobsters are more pricey if you have them shipped to you, if you decide to go that route their Clam Chowder is good too. This time we did not get any  to go since I have been eating a lot of Chowder during this trip:) Endre

That looks delicious, Endre, and reminds me of the annual clam bake at our friend's house when we lived up north. It was a feast with everything from cold water lobster to little neck clams with cornish hens for the non seafood eaters. I may have to order some online now! Diana

P.S. Hope you are not near the fires in LA County that are all over the news. Stay safe.

Diana Zaccaro  we are lucky that we are not near it. One of my clients is close to the Griffith Park Fire, which is near The Greek Theater and another friend a Retired Realtor friend had to evacuate because she lives in Westlake Village, Endre

Sometimes, we can go overboard with lobster, but that’s to be expected with some people, even metaphorically.

One of our dinners in Boston included lobster. I didn't have a lobster roll as i try to avoid lots of bread. The food was all so good.

Went to Portland Maine a few years back.  Had too many lobster rolls to count.  Can't get it fresh in Denver, so take advantage when out east.

Grant Schneider  James Hook is in Boston, next to the Boston Harbor Hotel walking distance from it. When we visit Boston, on the way home to Los Angeles they pack it "flight ready" and it is simple, Endre
