My husband is working late tonight, and doesn't have to be into work until late tomorrow, so I'm planning a nice surprise dinner for us tonight. I'm making butterflied lobster tails topped with jumbo lump crab meat, with a salad and roasted cherry tomatoes on the side (yum).
I took my daughter out to the grocery store to get what I needed, this afternoon after my husband left for work. I decided to be brave and get two live lobsters instead of the typical blah frozen lobster tails that you get from the grocery store freezer. This will be my first time cooking a live lobster, and I must admit I have no idea what I'm doing in that regard. I've been scouring the internet, so I'm fairly confident that I'll have some idea what to do when I get ready to cook them.
One of the main reasons that I chose to do a seafood dinner (other than that I'm completely addicted to most shellfish), is that its HEALTHY! Shellfish are generally low calorie, yummy, sources of high amounts of protein. They are a great choice for a healthy dinner! If anyone has a good shellfish recipe I'd love for you to send them to me.
I had my very first roasted cherry tomato when I was in Atlantic City last week, and I absolutely fell in love. I have been dying to have more since I've been home, so I just had to but the tomatoes so that I could make them with dinner tonight. I know that this isn't the first, or probably even the second time that I have raved about the awesomeness of tomatoes, but they really really are good for you, and you should try them!
On a seperate note, I got on the scale this morning and I am down to 267.8. Sweet! The initial exeitement after the surgery of seeing your weight drop NEVER ends. Every time I see the number on the scale drop lower I just feel amazing. Its like a high. I dont think I'll ever get tired of that feeling.
