9:26 am
hego
steam for 6 minutes.
9:26 am
penquis
yes...but i don't normally like a lot of other stuff added to my lobster....that's why a local restaurant owner beat Bobby Flay in a lobster roll competition...she did not over do the other ingredients and spices....
9:26 am
car.eeyore
I don't like a lot of mayo with my lobster roll either
9:26 am
hego
True Penq. In cooking less can be more.
9:27 am
penquis
people argue a lot about cooking times for lobster....
9:27 am
hego
If you have a great ingredient like Maine lobster why overwhelm it.
9:27 am
bichon
I find that mayo overpowers the lobster
9:27 am
rururocks
yeah.. i think i overcooked mine by a little and that's all it took
9:27 am
penquis
my feelings exactly....
9:28 am
penquis
and some people start counting when the lobster is added to boiling water and others start when it boils again....the latter can be a mistake....
9:29 am

I steam, not boil.

No! Not their thing! My hubby's sister and her partner - I've left him socialising. I'm not really full of sparkling chat in the morning anyway.
6:10 pm
moolingwa

6:10 pm
Lizlin
I'm missing one 4 letter word.
6:11 pm
Lizlin

6:14 pm

6:14 pm
Lizlin
True. Playing around with them now.

6:20 pm
Lizlin
revenant isn't there either.
6:20 pm
72 Temple Owl

6:20 pm
72 Temple Owl

Working through from the list alphabetically - so not surprising I've got p's, r's and v's left.
6:21 pm
72 Temple Owl

Me too - do that quite often though. And those as well.
6:22 pm
72 Temple Owl
well there's that.
6:23 pm
72 Temple Owl
how many v4?
6:23 pm
Lizlin
Or at least not in enable. And some weird spellings of words, which I would spell differently. I read a book to my class, which often referred to a leat as a bit of water like a weir - but apparently it's not spelled like that, though it was throughout the book.
6:23 pm
MollyL
Liz...I'm laughing at "not full of sparkling conversation in the morning"...I can relate
6:24 pm
Lizlin
I was chatting to a friend about an old Snoopy poster I had - captioned " I think I'm allergic to mornings". So true of me.

6:25 pm
Lizlin
It's 10.25 am here and I've just finished my coffee - so can probably be approached now.
6:26 pm
Lizlin

6:27 pm
mkg
inspect? hmmm. or a realtor? or an appraiser? which one liz?
6:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
think land, mkg.
6:28 pm
Lizlin
Not sure - it might just be a UK term. Thanks TO]
6:29 pm
Lizlin
Dictionary says - to give provisions usually as a business (often food)

lobstermen have ones that have distinct colors....different colors for different lobstermen....that way they know which traps are theirs...
7:44 pm
rururocks
I would think that having that much color would make lobstermen crabby
7:48 pm
penquis
well they don't have to look at it long....they leave the traps and come back later to take the lobster out...
7:49 pm
penquis
they usually toss out the crab, btw....
7:50 pm

Probably :-) I wonder what allowances are now. I never got one or gave one.
9:18 pm
Bugsaw
I would hate to think what the hourly rate for a babysitter is now. I used to give $1 then too but babysiting was about $5.
9:18 pm
