Hi Santos....

URGH! You're making me want to eat this! I haven't had lobster in a long time. We have lobsters from Kona that are like this that are a bit sweet. I love them grilled wrapped in foil, then served with melted garlic butter.....mmmmmmmm!

Maybe I need to just go and have the lobster omelet at Ray's Cafe! =)

*almost*. needed bigger fire.

we *have* to talk about the whole deep-fried wine thinggummit, btw....

reid

go to ray's already!!! :-)

Nah! The bigger the fire the larger the circle and the further people are apart.

Fire away on the deep fried wine but the next project will be deep fried beer/lambec if I can get my beer entusiast friends to get their dinner party together. Beer drinkers, such a rabble.

a rush and a push and the lambec is mine!

You can get these on Ben Thanh market here in Saigon. Always been tempted to attack it with alcohol and a blow torch and see what happens. You've inspired me. Will let you know how I get on.

i was thinking of using a blowtorch one day as an alternative....have you tried it yet?
