Dinner thread...What's cooking...

[Dr Skimeister]

Yes it's live lobster..because there's a tank..it comes with fries and cole slaw..just a small one pound lobster..Last summer it was $11.95. Items like this are called loss leaders in business because it gets people into the restaurant. All the draft beers and wings help subsidize the cheap lobsters. I know at the Supermarket..lobsters are $9.95 per pound with a shoppers club card.

Oh I'm aware of the lost leader concept. It's just far cheaper than I would expect given the cost for lobsters down there compared with up here. I don't believe I've seen a lobster that cheap anywhere in Maine. That's about the average price for a Lobster roll, not a lobster dinner.

Maybe it's just a big crawfish?

Used to eat those by the burlap sackful when I live in Louisiana.

Yea, fresh water.
Taste is more shrimp-like, but they look like mini lobsters-pinchers on them like lobster claws.

Crawfish are actually a great bait for smallmouth bass.

i have been having good luck with the smaller spinning spoons. other people on the lake just use rubber worms.

Too hot to cook. Sandwiches here: ham & cheese for my daughter, roast beef & cheese for me. Plus the kids had blueberries and carrots.

Something outside on the grill - just waiting to see what looks the best at the meat or fish counter at the store on the way home. Probably have a little salad (sans tomatoes ), and then if the kids have been good, tonight is just about as good a night as you can get for a trip to the local ice cream stand for desert

 

[krisskis]

Just popped chicken enchiladas in the oven. The A/C is cranking otherwise the oven would not be on.

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Marinated pork from yesterday is going into a stir fry.

 

[severine]

Grilled corn on the cob and cheeseburgers. Strawberry Passion ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery for dessert.
