Not for long. They’ve been clamping down on stuff lately. Apartment and condo dwellers were the first to notice this when they closed the outbound slot on all the multi-boxes to “prevent theft”. Now they’re starting to refuse odd ball delivery points like this. They’re obsessing on the “secure and safe” part of their mission rather than the convenient. Pretty soon we’ll all need some sort of lock on our boxes, to make sure we don’t get stolen from.

See, that’s what I saw there. Looks bucolic, but I have already lived ‘bucolic’ and it is anything but, usually. It sounds even worse than California, if that is possible.

I’m sorry to hear that, tho. Fight on.

I could? What about the sea water to cook them in? It’s a fur piece to the Pacific Ocean — well, across town — and the water might spill in the car.

Lobstergram?? Excellent...

I've never adopted the habit of cooking lobster in salt water...I can't see what difference it makes except to toughen the meat.

But I think if that was your desire, you could add 2 T of sea salt per quart of water. We're low-salters ourselves, but to each their own. Bon apetit!

PS...they're saying not to eat the lobster tamalley this summer ...not that I do anyway. Ick! ;-)
