This is going to live on a melancholy post service for some.  You see, nosotros were invited to our friends' menage for a superbowl political party terminal night. These detail friends were our friends from college that used to alive inwards Maine spell nosotros were living inwards Massachusetts.  

Having of late flipped through Barefoot Contessa's Parties book, I decided that I would brand Lobster Rolls for the political party because I knew our friends (having lived inwards Maine) would larn a boot out of it.  In 100% honesty (and really dense moment... oops), I didn't fifty-fifty intend most it beingness a "New England" process inwards award of the Patriots until Mike's mom Joy pointed it out - a improve sentiment than I had realized : )

Emma had had a mutual depression temperature over the weekend, only nosotros sentiment she'd moved yesteryear it.  Then yesterday at 3pm, she woke upward from her nap amongst a yucky coughing thence at the terminal infinitesimal nosotros decided nosotros would receive got to rest domicile instead of spread the germs.   So, the lobster rolls had already been made (and had their flick taken!), only at that topographic point was no turning back.  So, I am lamentable to rub them inwards the faces of our friends who missed out!  Don't worry, Jenny & Dave, I receive got a duo of leftovers I volition drib yesteryear today : )

I made mini rolls to help stretch the pricey lobster meat to receive got almost plenty for everyone to receive got one.  I used two pounds of lobster tails (shell on) as well as it made most eighteen rolls.  I used carve upward transcend buns (a New England specialty, only constitute here, too) as well as cutting them inwards half.

I dearest making picayune splurges similar this for parties - it actually isn't equally expensive equally yous mightiness think.  I spent $40 on lobster (from Costco), as well as thence the solely other element I needed were buns.  So, a full of $45 for a completely indulgent as well as exceptional treat.  I would've spent most the same at the store if I had gotten all of the ingredients to brand homemade guacamole as well as pico. 

While they were a swell sentiment for superbowl (apparently, improve than I knew), they are also a perfect process for Valentine's Day.
