These are some pictures of us at the Lobster Fest in Essex, Ct. As you can see, my family loves their food! And my mother has had a love affair going on with lobster for as long as I can remember. Mom is like a little kid when she gets lobster in front of her and she doesn't waste a single bit of it. She was a little upset that she had forgotten to bring her "tools" for eating lobster but she got over it fast. The lobsters were all pre-cracked for us. (you don't need no tools lady!)The meal consisted of lobster, roasted red potatoes (unfortunately mine were raw), a salad, corn on the cob (yummy), and a roll...with all the butter you could handle. Mom was generous enough to share her potatoes with me. (I was really jone-sing for potato!) Bunny became some kind of corn on the cob fiend and Taunya was stealing rolls from unsuspecting family members. It was a BYOB affair with a package store right across the street. More than one bottle of wine bit the dust that day and the lobster didn't fare much better. Lobster shells were flying everywhere!
At the end of the feast there were extra lobsters being offered for $10.00 a piece. I was dispatched to buy 2 for Marie and 1 for Mom. (I guess we know what they had for lunch the next day.)
There was some talk of ice cream being offered after the meal but none of us went for it. They started the raffle and it was everything we could do to keep track of all the tickets Mom had bought. We didn't win a single thing but we still went home happy.
