Time away from the boat

This is lobster season here in Nova Scotia.  You can get a cooked market lobster for $9.99 a pound at the store and $7.99 at the local lobster pot.  They are the bigger ones.  We picked up a few and headed over to MacIntosh's where we had our fist taste of a whole lobster in several years; it was really good.  Dave was good at giving directions on how to crack, pull and twist the lobster apart.  He also said there is a poison sac in the head not to eat, but that you can eat just about everything else.  Kathy's was filled with eggs all cooked up; they tasted like dried caviar.  No one else liked them.  


Dave got the dogs all riled up.  That is Ted in the back looking, Maya is the black one and the oldest is Ossie.

One evening Dave made BBQ ribs and chicken with grilled potatoes.  After a hard day of work it was so nice to come "home" for a meal with friends.

YUM.

Kathy brought a lotus blossom tea over and we watched it open.  This is the first one she saw with a string on it; when we took the string off it just fell apart.  The tea was good; like a green tea with a touch of dryness.

Donald stopped over; check out that cool art pad he has for his apple computer.


Darlene showed Donald the flower pots she and Kathy had put together the other week; they look pretty lit up.

Darlene made us a Darlene Duct Tape Designer boat bag!!  Thank you, Darlene!

Donald and Dave played around on the guitars for a while.  Always good to hear a little live music.
