Our Valentine’s Lobster Dinner was a bit of a disaster. We decided to steam the lobsters. I tossed in a few corns on the cob, some red potatoes, and a few polish sausages. I guess the steamer pot got too crowded and the lobster did not cook well. We steamed the lobster following 8 minutes for the first pound and adding 2 minutes for each additional pound. 10 minutes later, the lobster was undercooked. We tried putting the lobsters back on the steamer for another 5 minutes, but it resulted in the tail meat being overcooked. Oh well, at least Cheska still enjoyed eating the claw meat.
After dinner, we thought maybe we should have just bought crabs instead of the lobsters. It would have been a lot easier to prepare and quite tasty as well. So, Friday I dropped by Costco on the way home from work and bought 2 dungeness crabs. We had it for Sunday lunch. We kept it simple this time – just rice and the crabs. Perfect.
