Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving 2012-- TIWIWTB -- Lake Gaston -- Littleton,NCThis was a holiday from school for me today. So nice to have this day to catch up and get things ready for tomorrow and the weekend. Started my day early taking my car in for service. I had to leave the house at 7 am...just like every other day.Brian and I left for the Lake around 10 and were happy to arrive to a sunny, but windy, day. Only up to about 58 before the sun began to go down.I've been busy making a lobster stew for dinner. I have found an awesome way to make it and it is so easy. Anyone can make an authentic style Maine Lobster Stew and almost all the work is done for you. You just have to have access to the right ingredients. Pictures and the recipe follows.

You will need 1 package lobster,(about 7 oz) from Shucks Maine Lobster www.ShucksMaine.com, about 1 cup of Half and Half, Rockport Lobster Bisque, 1 stick of butter and some nutmeg and pepper.
Melt butter in kettle. Add lobster and sauté. Then add lobster bisque, a cup or so of half and half. Warm until hot, not boiling! If it boils it is not good! Add pepper to taste and sprinkle nutmeg over the top. Let it mellow for a while if you can, the flavor will intensify.
