Makes me east coast homesick!

Yummy yummy yummy! I had a dream last night that I was trying to buy a lobster, but it was $100, so I went home empty handed. I think my subconcious wants lobster!

I have never had Maine Lobster - nor have I had clams - we have shrimp and oysters down this way and have a low country boil.

One of these days I want to experience lobster and the fixins!

Next year we all crash the party! The menu sounds yummy. Sounds like a good time was had by all!

I wanna crash next year's party! That's pretty much all my favorite things right there on the table. Man oh man.

Oh, Lobstah bakes! How I miss them! We used to have them at the end of the school year every year, and on beach trips and such.

Sandy, you're killing me with this post!! When we were first married, we lived in Portland, Maine. On summer Sundays, we'd drive right to the pier and buy lobsters fresh from the trap, swing by a roadside stand on the way back to our apartment and pick up some corn. *Sigh*.

At least now we can still get the corn. ;-)

You are SO mean! (glad you had such a great time - it looks WONDERFUL!)

Oh, you're killing me! We get lots of great, fresh seafood on the west coast. But nothing like a real Atlantic lobster and steamers! Oh, what I'd do for some steamers.

Oh yjummm!! I'm so envious of it all (except the corn).

That sounds like my kind of feast!

Okay... if this comment doesn't go through, it's probably because I just fried my keyboard with all the drool. That looks freakin' fabulous. Yum.

Yum! I haven't had steamers in forever. I think it's time for a trip to my local fish mart.

Sounds like a great time!

yum, YUM!!! How wonderful to have family all close by enough to be able to get together for a big family party such as this!!! Blessed indeed!! Oh...and if this is a yearly tradition......don't you remember you have a LONG, LOST COUSIN from Alabama that needs to be included??? Ha! Ha!

"we were at the beach . . .

everybody had . . . matching towels!"

Sigh . . . it's not easy being a displaced New Englander in DC. Particularly when I see photos of lobsters and steamers!

Wow, the food looks amazing.

Oh, my goodness! Those pictures make my mouth water! Looks like an amazing time :-)

oh hot damn! i was going to ask you to repost the link to the blueberry cake, and you read my mind. it's blueberry season round here! i'm SOOOOOOOOO making this this weekend!

Wow! Those pictures made this misplaced Yankee miss all that good New England food! Steamers are one of the first things I get when we go home to visit. And, was that butter and sugar corn? You know, you can't get that in the south? It's too hot to grow it here. Jeesh, they don't know what they're missing!!! And that lobster roll. YUMMMO Haven't had one of those in years.
My hubby did take me out today (it's the birthday AGAIN!)for crab legs (my new favorite seafood),shrimp, scollops. Down here it's all plentiful, but shucks, no steamers!
Glad it was fun. I miss those New England Clam boils.
Sheri in GA

Woohooo! I love the B-52's! Have you heard "Private Idaho"? ;)

Your lobstah boil looks like it was perfect!!! What fun!

hey.. who got the extra lobster?? was it for me??
Belated happy birthday!

Now you have me craving lobsters and blueberry cake! Sounds like everone had a great time.

Jeez Laweez that looks tasty!!! Glad it went super well. YAY!

Oh, and I forgot: that looks so GOOD! SO GOOD. And only 10 pounds of steamers? What did the others have with the lobster, corn and steak?

"What more could a hostess ask for really?"
You could ask to hostess this for all your New England Knitterly Folks. Yes. That's what you could do. And no need to wait until next year. It's still July. And there's also August. And you are T-accessable. And I'm free on weekends. And I'll bring yarn. And beer. And a camera. And Yarn. And maybe even N and C and the others will all come, too, and bring yarn.

Sounds really good! The B-52s are from Athens, GA. I heard Rock Lobster recently on XM...

My mouth is WATERING. What you have there is the quintessential New England summer feast.

I love Andy and the nephew. I can't see their faces, but their body language says, "Whoaaaaa, awwwweesomme!"

Don't you have a long lost cousin here in SC that needs to connect with family again????? I would love to have attended that feast!

I'm drooling over my keyboard.
Yum!

yes, i'm with carole. can i come next year too?

can i? can i?

That looks so good. My husband is a lobster fisherman, so you would think that I would get lots of lobster, but somehow, I never do. I like it plain, but my favourite is called creamed lobster. You cut up pre-cooked lobster and fry it in butter (lots) and then you add cream and simmer for a few minutes. The Goodwin family secret ingredients are adding a pinch of sugar with the lobster and then a few tsp. of vinegar. Serve on toast. This is what all the rich lobster captain's daughters have for their wedding meal.

Oh yum.

*drool*

Can I come next year? Please? Pretty please?

God, that sounded fabulous! I am by family relation a New Englander, and found I must return in order to get steamers and lobster.
