Lobster Eating Tip From Mark Ring

Here’s a tip for you that Mark Ring shared with me.

After you steam your lobster snip the tips off the claws with some sturdy kitchen shears and drain the water out over the sink.  It will make the eating and clean up after dinner a snap and saves a mess.

John Donovan is doing some beautiful things on this piece of property.  There’s going to be some lucky cows that get to call this place home.

Amazing that there isn’t a single nail to the entire inside frame of this post and beam barn that is going up in Essex.  All put together with wooden dowel pegs and notching.

If you click the picture and select “all sizes” you can see some of the wooden pegs sticking out.
