The Idiot's Guide to Throwing a Lobstah Party

Step 1: Commit an act of mass murder...boil 5 lobsters alive.


Step 2: Pick all the flesh out of their cold, smelly bodies.


Step 3: Saute the flesh in buttery, paprika-y goodness for 5-7 minutes.


Step 4: Add some milk, heat to steaming (not boiling), and voila! Lobster stew.


Step 5: Making lobster stew is hard work, so a nap may be in order. Besides, the stew should chill overnight to reach full flavor.


Step 6: Decorate appropriately.


Step 7: Just before your guests arrive, whip up a batch of lobstaritas. Lobster-shaped ice cubes are essential for this.


Step 8: Enjoy the numerous compliments from your very impressed guests!

You're exhibiting some fabulous taste with the box of Junior Mints in Step 1, a poignant aside to the life seeping out of these fated crustaceans. Do you frequent crime scenes munching penny candies?
Oh, and you forgot to add talking to me on your cell phone for 2 hours to the recipe for lobster stew. I'll forgive you this time. -La Principessa
