When I was a kid, our neighbors across the street could both lay claim to direct descendants from the Mayflower, the husband was a Putnam and his wife's nee name was Eaton. I always thought that was really cool, and they were such nice people too.

Lobsta rolls are crimes against culinarity.
Nice people, as long as you didn't dabble in any witchcraft, right?
LOL, no really, they were very sweet folks. I did meet Laurie Cabot's daughter at a party once.... unbeknownst to me, it was a "Wiccan" party. Interesting event.Nice people, as long as you didn't dabble in any witchcraft, right?
....a Lobstah Roll?....yes, I repeated Aggies quip, cuz I posted faster than my pea-brain read posts....
That'd be crabs for me - Depends on where you live.
Newspapers across the table. Beer and cooked crabs staring at you with beady eyes. Maryland. All Tri state area. But you knew where to go for crabs. I have much troubles eating something looking at me. So someone would have to break it while I looked away. Shuts up. I know.
I remember crabbing when little on a boat. Just a fish head tied to a sting.
eeeks.

Make it go away is my wish!

All this lobster talk is making me want to do something drastic. I understand they ship Maine lobsters through Amazon now.
I know she wanted me to.
That reminds me, for some reason my grandmother was obsessive about keeping extensive genealogical records, newspaper clippings and photos dating back to the nineteenth century. Perfectly preserved photos of Canadian farmhouses, New England cottages - too many commas no predicate, I know. My point is that I have all of it preserved in large plastic containers. Every once in a while I pull the genealogical stuff out and look at it. I treasure those photos too, I keep thinking that someday I will do something with it.

Speaking of lobster rolls, as a fellow Phoenecian, you should know about The Maine Lobster Company here. It's a food truck launched in part by the investors on Shark Tank. You can find it on Saturdays at the big farmers market on the 101 and (I want to say Camelback) all they serve are lobster rolls done right! Two varieties: butter or mayo. - fresh Maine lobster, not that clawless rock variety. It may park closer to Mesa sometimes. Worth checking out! Delicious.
I don't think shellfish get ick. I could be wrong(it's happened before) but I think that's a disease specific to scaly fish.
I meant "ick" as an exclamation of how gross SwiftDogs consider shellfish to be.
You were were doing a lil Dr. SwiftSuess poem!
Yes I was! Here's some more:
SwiftDogs do not like lobsters and clams!
I will not eat them Ka Tet Clan!
Will you eat them with some buttah?
Will you eat them with ya muddah?
I will not feed them to Brody Dog!
I would not feed them to a hog!
