Hi Nancy,


 NB>  NB>> more conscious of what conditions might be like for some of the

 NB> the  NB>> middle of the night... some night, anyway... [g])

 RH> Now you won't have to.

 NB> Nope, thanks to you, Mloo, UDD... and probably more to come... (g)


Sort of figured, since our mail was out for a few days but thought you
might appreciate the extra information.


 >> But just think of it as meat, and it's fine... ;)
 JK> I have a hard time killing lobsters now BUT... not that much (g)

 RH> I read that quickly as monsters instead of lobsters.  Do you have a
 RH> hard time killing the former? (G)

 NB> I'd think that Mobsters might be a little hard to kill, if only

 NB> too,
 NB> probably...  ;)

Depends on the monster.  Cookie Monster, even tho he eats your cookies,
is actually a fairly friendly little guy.  I understand CTW made him
over into one who only has cookies as an occaisional treat now, and
emphasises healthier eating.  I guess that means a whole generation or
more of kids will grow up not really understanding why he was called
Cookie Monster.

 NB>  NB>> After all, they taste so good....!  (G)

 RH> Agreed.  When we first got back from Germany in 1992, we were
 RH> stationed about 35 miles west of Boston.  One restaurant in one of the
 RH> neighboring towns ran coupons consistantly in the local paper for 2
 RH> lobsters for $9.95 when we got there. After 2 or 3 months, the price
 RH> went up a dollar.  Steve and I would get one of those specials and a
 RH> plate of some other seafood & make our own combo.  Our daughter Deborah
 RH> got it a number of times; her sister didn't care for seafood very much
 RH> at the time but would usually find something to her liking there.

 NB> Years ago, there was a seafood place in this area that had very good
 NB> food, including lobsters, for reasonable prices.  We'd go there every
 NB> so often... Got a good taste for lobster then... ;)  We don't get it
 NB> nearly so often any more, though...  For one thing, we don't go to
 NB> seafood
 NB> places that often anymore, mostly various Asian places... ;)

And most seafood places that far inland serve most of it fried or use
the farm raised, frozen & imported.  You're better off going Asian and
saving the seafood for the coast.  Any good German places in your area?

 NB> Interestingly, Wegmans has started carrying (in their Food You Feel
 NB> Good About categories) Belize shrimp that are raised according to very
 NB> strict standards... They tout them as being more meaty, and tasting
 NB> more like
 NB> lobster... We've had them a few times, and they are indeed quite
 NB> tasty, more body taste-wise than most shrimp...  Not too terribly
 NB> expensive,
 NB> either, especially when they supply a coupon for it as well, and/or
 NB> put it on sale...

Sounds like a good deal there.  As long as hey keep the standards high
and price reasonable, it sounds like they would be worth buying.
