G recieved a lovely, if not disconcerting, corporate gift yesterday. Over the years business acquaintances have sent gift certificates and the ubiquitous "tower of treats", backpacks and bottles of wine. Yesterday, however we recieved our first official LobsterGram.
A fresh surf n' turf dinner will be flown to the Cabin when we call and request it. This is a lovely gift for obvious reasons: it's a fresh surf n' turf dinner. It's disconcerting for other equally obvious reasons: these are live Maine lobsters, and all I can think of is the Land Shark.
A mysterious voice will call from outside the front door: "Telegram". "Lobstergram".
Furthermore, I have never had the distinct. . .ahem. . .privilege of dropping a live two pound lobster into a pot of boiling water. The Lobstergram also comes with fresh lemons, clarified butter, steel shell crackers, seafood forks, lobster bibs, and "moist towelettes". I get the clarified butter, but "moist towelettes"?? Aren't these the same accessories you get with a kid's meal from Kentucky Fried Chicken? Now all I can think of is a life size Land Lobster holding a KFC bag full of butter and wet-wipes.
Tonight we leave for Grandma's house for Christmas. I called Grandma and said. . ."How about surf n' turf for Christmas Eve? It's on us. . .but you have to answer the door."

Oh my word! I know know what I would do with live lobsters! Be sure to take pictures!
Thankful for you this year, too, Friend.
Oh goodie! For dessert I'll bring the extra large gift basket of caramel/chocolate covered apples that I received.
hope you all have a fantastic flight!
