Lobster Roll

This is the ultimate summer dish. Divas crave lobster. Divas just don't like to cook the lobster. Or vacuum. Or do laundry. Divas keep around a few of the less squeamish-type for just such occasions as a lobster craving. Maybe diva's friend will crack the shell and get the meat out too?

I recently had a beautiful lobster roll aboard a boat named the "Lobster Roll" out on Cape Cod with fellow diva, Aunt Shanny (see Elegant White Fish). Eating lobster aboard a boat is a must for divas. Even better--a yacht. My only complaint was that I had to sip my Chardonnay from a plastic cup. Divas hate drinking wine out of plastic, but are able to adapt and overcome when times are tough.

This lobster roll is not meant to be eaten with the hands. There's just too much of it. By adding the lettuce and tomato, divas consider this a well-rounded meal. Along with a bottle of California Chardonnay, of course. If you must add a starch though, keep it simple. Potato chips. (Photo by VirtualErn)

Lobster Roll

Meat from 1-2 chicken lobsters, cooked & chopped

a few spoonfuls of mayonnaise

a sprinkling of chopped celery (optional)

1 hot dog roll

a few large lettuce leaves

a few slices of tomato

Mix the lobster, mayo, & celery (if you must) in a pretty bowl.
Spread butter on both sides of the hot dog roll and grill on a pan.
This must be butter and not margarine. If you are going to eat lobster, don't go calorie conscious and skimp. Butter.
Place a large lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato atop the grilled bun.
Scoop loads of lobster salad atop the lettuce.

That's it. No spices, no nonsense.

Make it a meal: It is a meal.

Wine: Buttery and oaky Chardonnay. Be sure to share with your friend who helped you cook the lobster.

Kiss, kiss for diva's friend.
