Just Claws
Still in Connecticut, dodging ticks. Much to write about this experience at a later date.
Here's what I discovered today: the lobster roll. Foodgasm on a hotdog bun.
Found it because I ditched lunch at the institute and went looking for local flavor. My plan: Drive along the marina until I see someplace with a line out front.
Fred's Shanty Food Stand. Don't you love the place already?
Long line. Picnic tables. Walk-up window. Special today: Hot Lobster Roll. Worth every nickel of 12 bucks.
Served in a paper boat, it is a toasted white hotdog bun split open and stuffed with about a half pound of steamed pink lobster chunks. So fresh, so moist, so yummalicious. With a paper cup of melted butter on the side.
Ten thousand fat grams for a big hot bite of New England summer.

Giiiirl shoot -
while you're up here in the New England states you should jaunt north to Boston for the world's bext clam chowdah or some fried clams...my treat!
...because not only is it the bext...it's also the best.
Nearly shorted out my laptop by drooling on it. Lobster roll...mmmmmmmmmmm.
I miss you, Prof!
Foogasm. My favorite culinary word and I never even thought to work it into a post before.
I stand in literary awe.
They even have lobster rolls at McDonald's up there sometimes! Yes, they are a rare treat. Seafood in New England is like Chinese food in SF--it's usually the cheap, crowded places that are actually the best.
Phantom Professor! I know you read your comments... or atleast I hope you do... I just wanted to tell you that the moment is nearing for me.
This package that I thought would never come has indeed come and I've filled out half of it. The SMU application form. This fantatical idea of college is becoming a real and scary idea!
I'll remember your advice about asking for GOOD recommendations.
I don't know... I thought maybe you'd like to hear that this kid who has been following your blog is finally applying to the school you worked in. Ah, just so wou know, SMU is not my first choice. I like it because it's an acclaimed school and it takes me 30 minutes to get their by train for just a dollar. Don't even have to drive. That means I can go home when I want and... do stuff for free. Hehe. Assuming I don't get into my dream school -- University of Tulsa and assuming I get into this one.
So, I'm also writing essay and etc. I raelly like the SMU's "title your autobiography" and the autobigraphy prompt. I have the PERFECT idea. I'm EXCITED to write this. I want it to be GOOD. Something I will save and be proud of, you know. I hope that doesn't make me a nerd. I'm going to look through your archive for tips to help me edit it the way I want.
Ah... thanks for, uh, listening? Hehe. Bye!

OK, here's how you do the lobster roll. Get an extra paper boat. Use butter liberally, but SET ASIDE THE HOTDOG BUN.
Go to the gym the next day -- or if you really want to be New England, go out on the sailboat and crew.
Alternate bloody and virgin Marys with your shrimp salad for dinner.
Seafood paradise, fuel for the system, no extra cellulite.
The Lobster Roll is one of my "have to's" when I visit Cape Cod.
Foodgasm? Dead on.
