I purchased a couple of good size live lobsters today for a nice Lenten meal
for Mrs.H and me............$14.99/lb for lobsters over 2 pounds.....$75
total......ka-ching!
The problem: I forgot a fact about lobsters molting their shells in
Spring a customer of mine from Maine told me many years back. The damn
shells on these lobsters were almost an eight of an inch thick and needed a
set of channel locks to break open the claws. This was about the worst
time of year to buy them as their shells are at their thickest.
Regardless............the meal was still great.
We are looking forward to having lobster and lobster rolls during our New
England trip this Fall. |

We are going by car to hit the leaf change in Fall in Maine. Our trip will
include Baltimore, NYC, Boston......then Maine with only Freeport and
Waterville (I know a great lobster place their) in mind.......... and who
knows where else.
Although Mrs.H has done Europe she has never seen the NE coastal areas and
is looking forward to this road trip.
Any suggestions on places to visit are appreciated. >> Stay informed about: Lesson Learned |

Are you driving from NYC to Boston? If not, don't fly. Take the railroad
along the Connecticut-Rhode Island shore route. Also, in Maine, you'd
surely like Kennebunkport, about 50 miles south of Freeport. There's a
wonderful B&B there called the Maine Stay: http://www.mainestayinn.com/
Short walk to the waterfront and lots of interesting stuff. The Bush
compound is there, along with Mabel's, the lobster house the Bush's
frequent.
If you are driving from NYC to Boston, there are some places in
Connecticut you might want to see. >> Stay informed about: Lesson Learned |

Leaf peeping is highly over rated.

Absolutely.
The best way of course is to go there by boat and dock for the night.
Dockage is reasonable if you also get a membership, and you have the
run of the grounds at night after the tourists leave. It's like a
time warp. >> Stay informed about: Lesson Learned |
