Just beginning to like this place....

by Beni Email

Well, now that I'm about to leave Boston, I think I'm beginning to like this place. It's always like that, isn't it?

I've begun my tour of "Things I won't really be able to do when I'm in Ann Arbor" and one of them is buy day-caught, fresh lobster on my way home from work for $6.99/lb. Yes, that's right. Live lobster costs less here per pound than organic, free range chicken and less than most other seafood.

And on that note, I've made a resolution that each week, I will find a different way to cook lobster until I leave.

So far, on my list of methods is:
Grilled
Poached (in coconut cream or regular cream with butter, I can't bring myself to use so much butter to poach just in butter, a la Thomas Keller--any other ideas?)
Stir fried (I'm going to attempt something I once had in Cambodia here....we shall see. It's lobster stir fried with a coconut/pork/curry sauce.)
Any other ideas?

If any of you are in Boston, you are invited to the grand experiment. I don't promise the lobster will be good, but it will probably taste like lobster, so how bad could it be?
