XLVI (46)

Well, we here on the Rocky Coast are finally coming out of our defeat induced funk.  The Patriots lost the Super Bowl, and the "other team", won.
Just kidding.  Congratulations to the New York Giants.  Blah, blah, blah.  : ) 
Now, let's carry on, shall we?

Well, what do you do with your stale bread?

Even though they lost, they are still SUPER STARS in our minds.


The day started with a trip across the harbor to the freshest seafood place around!


Start with the lobster meat (1 lb.) and mayo.


Chives will be a nice addition.


And use one inner stalk of celery, leaves and all.


To build the sandwich, Bibb lettuce works well.  It is very delicate, and perfect for a sandwich where you want the lobster to be the star.  And even though the farm stands won't be open for another 2 or 3 months, if you can buy local, it makes all the difference.


Some fresh rolls.


And we mustn't forget the chips!  These are our new favorites.  Sweet onion in a chip?  Yessiree Bob!  That is our kind of chip!


You want to be able to butter and toast the outsides of the rolls, so with these, I just trimmed the crust from the front and back.


Use room temperature butter and spread it on both sides.  Add a touch more to the pan, over medium high heat, and add the rolls.  Yum!


Clean and pat the lobster dry.


Chop into good size chunks, and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.


Chop the celery and chives.


Mix lobster, mayo, celery and chives.  Light on the mayo please.


Half time is right around the corner!


Oops!  Almost forgot the chips.




 A bientot!  See you soon.

  1. Wow, Sister, this post is proof that taking care of the little details makes all the difference. The grilled bread looks so good, and the fresh chives and lettuce combined with the lobster and the other ingredients looks unbelievable! Congratulations on your delicious Superbowl meal. I will be looking forward to more informative posts!
