Lobsters for Fine Dining With Friends



These days I don’t mind giving beef and turkeys a skip; In fact I am unable to believe the fact that there has been such a drastic change in me. After my trip to Portland where my uncle stays, I have been completely smitten by lobsters; yes, I have fallen in love with them, so much so that I can even think of altering my regular meaty meals with lobsters.  Ever since I have tasted the rich flavor of lobster meat, I have been craving my heart out for it.  Even some of my friends love having Maine lobsters and they have recommended quite a few lobster recipes that, they claim, taste heavenly.

I am thinking of planning a get-together with my friends so that I can party hard with them and burst out all the stress that have piled up for many years. Yes, it has been a year and I have hardly met them. Knowing well that my friends love lobsters, I am thinking of ordering some live Maine lobsters. There are already quite a number of lobster sellers doing business online; so it won’t be a problem to order these extremely delicious sea-picks. 

I have heard from my uncle that lobsters from Maine are considered a specialty from across the world. People crave for a fresh bite of lobster meat that generally tends to be sweet. When I had first learnt about the hint of sweetness in Maine lobster meat, I was not quite sure whether such a claim is true. Later on, with a single bite, it all became crystal clear as I was already smitten by the taste. Well!! As per the claims made by lobster harvesters, the sweetness tasted in the meat of Maine lobsters is because of the influence of the freezing and clean waters of the Atlantic. Surprising!! Isn’t it? 

After, searching the web I chanced upon a site that is selling lobster dinners worldwide; they have just provided me a list of fine dining choices on lobsters. They offer really delicious seafood dinner for a great party

I feel great because now I can just lay off my hands from all the cooking hassles; and I am pretty confident that they are going to ship me fresh lobster dinner for my friends. At last!! My wishes are going to turn true. My friends will be more than just happy to find that I have chosen a fantastic lobster dinner menu for them.

An Excellent Platter for A Mom So Special




A mother is the most precious person for a child; the person who first embraces the little baby. A mother will go starved but will make sure that her baby is fed well. She will reach out to any extent to fight for her child; to protect the little one from the fearful odds of life. It is difficult to define the love a mother has for her son or daughter. Now, as the month of March has approached, every person residing in different corners of the world is gearing up to celebrate Mother’s day. 

This day is commemorated as a date to celebrate mother’s love. It is a universal fact that every single day belongs to our mother but the least we can do to “show” our gratefulness is to dedicate one single day to them on which they are made to feel as special as ever. So, what have you planned for your Mom this Mother’s day? 

Are you willing to surprise her this March? Pull up your socks and select some gourmet cuisines for Mom. Now, here is an interesting recipe for a Mother who loves seafood; and of course you can pair the meal with a startling gift.

Now, that spring has arrived, time has come for you to prepare the creamy lobster tail stew. You can buy a few lobster tails on Mothers day and get it cooked for the lady who means the most to you. The creamy recipe takes only a few minutes for brewing. Here take a look:

Lavish Lobster Palate for A Spiced Up Weekend



Image Courtesy: goo.gl/U6Zhy
Okay!! now I am again heading for a boring weekend. I think someone should spare me the horror!! I don’t want to have some boring food for a fantastic weekend. Last time everything went terribly wrong and I was to be blamed for it. I was supposed to take my wife and kids for a weekend picnic and ultimately ended up having boring conventional food at home. 

I felt so sorry and there was nothing that could be done. My kids and my wife had frowned and I was sad too. It all happened because of my boss who called me at office for some extra work. After the day I have promised myself that at any cost I will not spoil the mood of my dear ones. 

This weekend I think I have some plans for my family and I am not going to disclose them before. Yes, I have planned a really delicious seafood dinner. 

For all those who love switching to seafood recipes to add spice to a boring weekend here are some easy to cook seafood preparations: 

Paella Valencia Lobster
  •  English peas
  •   Lobster tail meat
  • Clam
  • Mussels
  • Chorizo
  • Seafood kit
  •   Vigo rice
  • Shrimp
  • Browned chicken legs 
Take a pan and brown the chorizo in it. Now remove the chorizo. Cook chicken with chorizo drippings. Add some olive oil if you feel. Remove the cooked chicken. Sauté rice in chicken and chorizo drippings and then add canned seafood. Again return chicken and chorizo to sauce pan. Add the lobster pieces and shrimps. Now nestle lobster pieces and shrimps in the pan and cover with a foil. Cook until the rice grains turn tender and the shell fish becomes pink. Your lobster paella is ready. 

Baked lobster tails
  • Lobster tails 1lb
  •   Lemon juice
  • Butter
  • Sea salt
  • Pepper
Firstly preheat your oven at around 350 degrees. Use a knife and cut tails in equal halves. Take an aluminum foil and lay the lobster tails (shell side down) on it. Drizzle molten butter on the tails. Add some pepper and salt for flavor. Squeeze lemon juice on the tails. Take another foil and seal the tails. Place them inside the oven for about 20 minutes. These few yummy recipes are exactly meant for a father and husband who want to please his family. Now, I have started feeling excited.
