Here's the pic I posted of how it turned out to entice you over!
Oh, Celeste, those lobsters look delish!!!
Pixie - is your son a lobsterman? We used to fish the traps out of the surf after storms when we were kids. The lobstermen said we could take all the lobsters we wanted (as long as the law did not find out) as long as we left the traps, lines and bouys....
I remember an incident when my brother had 3 or 4 lobsters stuffed under his shirt....
:)
On another note: does anyone have a good filling butternut squash soup recipe? Mine always comes out too thin...
thanks!

Deb, my SIL used to be and some of his family still is.
My Dad had a patient who was a lobsterman out of Kennebunkport. He'd give us lobsters at 1/2 price. We always had a huge lobsterbake after Thanksgiving.
I'm lobstered out at this point.
tamberlin, well if you want to get rid of some send them to me. I can’t remember the last time I had lobster and I love the sea bugs!
Celeste - I made your pumpkin bread - AMAZING. So good. I have mini loaf tins and your reciped made 7. I they would do real well as muffins too.
Glad you liked it Anita, my kids swear it's the most moist pumpkin bread around! lol
I would tend to agree.
I'm going to have to try some of these.
I make an Italian sausage stuffed zuchini - cut zuchini in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds, spread a little of your favorite tomatoe sauce in the zuchini, fill with uncooked Italian sausage, cover with a little more sauce (just a little - don't let it spill over the zuchini) and bake til zuchini is tender - 45min or so. I did them in a broiler pan on the grill this summer. Also, as an appetizer - cut the zuchini (small ones) in about 2" segments, and scoop out some seeds but leave at least 1/2" solid on the bottom of each slice. They are like little cups. then fill and bake. You can sprinkle some shredded cheese on for the last few minutes.
Sounds yummy!
Yummy yummy, i will be trying some of these soon, good thread!
