Lobster Salad

Going to a potluck Christmas party at our old neighborhood and bring a Lobster salad...
To prepare : Put the lobster into a large pot of boiling water seasoned with salt & pepper. Depending on lobster size, boil around 10 to 20 minutes (for 3 lobsters - 20 mn). When cool, remove the lobster flesh from the tails and slice thinly. Boil some prawns (it takes only a few seconds, when prawns turn pink, remove and drain, deshell, remove intestine, slice in half). Meanwhile prepare a macedoine of vegetable (asparagus tips, corn, carrots, peas - defrost if frozen), mixed with canned fruit cocktail, drained. Mix with home-made or packaged low fat mayo, mixed with mustard (or wasabi) and dash of worcestershire sauce, season with salt and pepper. Mix in the sliced cooked prawns. Display on a platter, and arrange the lobster slices on top, garnish with parsley... It makes a festive salad/appetizer!

Thanksgiving Dinner


Bruce & Jeremy insist on the traditional Thanksgiving main course, Turkey marinated and roasted the same way, same stuffing, creamed corn etc etc, no experimentation with new variations.. so there it is. However I had a free hand with the appetizer and desserts... Timbale of Lobster, with avocado, and a wine mushroom cream sauce as appetizer... For desserts, I slaved at making macarons, choux filled with berries, and my sister made a delicious flan au caramel!
