On Being Two/Celebrating With Lobster
Spurred on by visions of Julie Powell with turquoise rubber glove, freaking out in a bid to cook three lobsters a la Julia Child, in ‘Julie and Julia’, encouraged by a great 4-pager in the May 2011 issue of delicious (UK) and confronted by swimming lobsters at Sligro on my weekly shop, I bit the bullet and walked up to the ‘Fish man’ saying, ‘I´d like to buy a lobster please’.
On our short walk to the ´tank´, I asked him where the lobsters came from and was truly shocked to hear ´Canada´. Looking at my widened eyes, he said ´Don´t worry, they didn´t swim, they came by air´. And I actually thought they were local.
