Today: It's time to get crackin' -- we're cooking lobster.
There's no other food (other than maybe ice cream) that epitomizes New England summers quite like lobster. Whether you're serving it steamed with a side of clarified butter, tossed with a touch of mayonnaise in a toasted bun, or mixed with a spicy tomato sauce over pasta, lobster instantly transports you to a serene summer vacation in coastal Maine. Bring the sandy beaches and salty breezes of New England to your kitchen by cooking lobster. (And don't forget to wear a lobster bib!)
