Steven You Are Invited....Anyone Else Care to Join Us?

16 years ago

So, what do you say Steven?

How about a cyber feast? For what you sent on the rip off Vegas meal I could feed 10 to 15 folks with a backyard lobster feed....make it pot luck for the salads, corn and butter....YUMMY!!!!

The price of fresh Maine Lobster at the grocery store yesterday was $6.99 for under 1.5 lbs and 7.99 per pound for over 1.5 lbs. That's a pretty good price for this time of the year, for soft shells--which I prefer! Easier to eat.

Won't you join me??

coffeemom- I'm in Saint Cloud. Where is Ricky's swap happenning? Is he in Orlando? I'm pretty sure not though due to the month, my husband will be having hip surgery so I will be doing EVERYTHING around here. 8-) happy girl- I'm in Saint Cloud too. I think you told me that you're near lakefront right? I'm out at Northshore in Pine Grove. Not too very far from you. I wonder if the extension office has a website. I never remember to make calls til evening hours and then everything is usually closed.LOL Thanks for the info.

I too enjoy the Robin and fine that it is invaluable as a source of information and friendships. It is amazing the help that is poured out for any newbie with questions. I try to post periodically but carefully now. I also agree that it takes a little time to get to know the "flavor" of the social "culture" there. There are definitely some unwritten rules...which I have accidentally broken and have at least one person who will not respond to even my private replies to their questions. I "think" the rule I broke was to mention the name of someone who replied in private, even though I was thanking them in sharing their response. It seems there are occasional personality wars which promote people responding in private and wishing to remain annonymous on the public forum about such responses. Possibly I also mixed up names of who made a previous post too but I can't be entirely sure if either of these is the rule I broke because they won't even respond to my apology and request for clarification on how I ticked them off. So...for you newly joined Robin members...remember there are outspoken, sensitive, and opinionated personalities on many sides of issues on the Robin. If you get jabbed by someone after a post try not to take it personally, it happens periodically and there are others who will come to the aid of new posters who stumble on one of those unwrittens. You'll be encouraged to post again and it is, afterall, like a big family of daylily enthusiasts.

Care for Field Grown Nellie Stevens

Kellygreen, As a former grower of holly including Ilex Nellie Stevens I am not certain just what advice to give you. From your description it sounds as though the hollies probably have little commerical value. There must be a large retail nursery/landscape business as a potential buyer near you which encouraged the friend to suggest planting the liners in the first place. If so, it might be wise to have the owner of such a business look at the situation and advise you. This would make sense before you invest time and money into the project. You need professional advice from someone on the scene. It takes a skilled hand to propagate holly from cuttings. Also, there are a few 'tricks' to pruning holly. Nellie Stevens is a very popular holly which grows well in the south. It could be a good cash crop for someone with extra land and a predetermined market.

mhg, You might want to be very careful with this company. I notice that it is located in McMinnville, TN, which having lived nearby, I can tell you is a very small town. Because of that, I would bet this is another alias of Autumn Ridge Nursery which gets absolutely terrible reviews on Garden Watchdog. You might want to do some research before you order anything from them.

I would offer to bring dessert, I've got a recipe for the yummiest frozen lemon mousse, but alas, I'd probably get held up in customs and the darn thing would melt.

Leasa, What's the difference between the soft shell and the regular Maine Lobsters (besides the soft shell)? I don't think I've ever had them. Are they caught in different temp waters or something? When I lived in Ohio they sold something they called "lobster", but they didn't taste anything like the ones from Maine. Probably caught them in Lake Erie or something.

My daughter was here this week, visiting from Ohio, and we stuffed ourselves on Maine Lobster. We got the 2 1/2 pounders. Here in Mass. they're $12 a pound.
Guess it pays to live closer to the source!

Thanks everyone for joining me! Hope Steven shows up!

Edna, real butter--the only way to go on fresh Maine lobster--THANKS!

Annette--My hubby really WANTS to try your mousse, me too--YUMMY!

Caroline--Oh goodie, some home made bread! Wow! What a feast we will have...those squash blossoms sound delightful!

Cameron--Bibs are VERY IMPORTANT! Sorry you are allergic, but hey desserts are good!

MORA!!!___ OH YUMMY!!! I"M READY!!!! BRING ON THESE NS SCALLOPS!!!!!

Patti-- Soft shells are new shells after the hard shell is shed. They are much easier to eat, you can crack them with your hands, they are sweet and yummy. All Maine lobster is caught in COLD water! I like them 1.5 pounds each and 2 is just right! If there are some legs left over I LOVE a lobster omelet. Here are a few links to more lobster info than you may want! I like them 1.5 pounds each and 2 is just right! If there are some legs left over I LOVE a lobster omelet.

Lucky Leasa! Haven't had lobster in almost 2 years. Last 2 visits home to Boston were for funerals and going out to eat lobster never happened. There's a restaurant here that has lobster specials a couple months out of the year. For $19.95 you get a Sensation salad, steamed asparagus, and a lobster. We bring the bodies home and dh picks them clean then treats me to lobster salad the next day. So eating lobster is like a double treat and even more special cause it happens so rarely.

Leasa, I only make this dessert once a year for New Years. We have a Beef Dip Supper with different types of salads. The whole family is tired of the turkey by now so we have this casual supper. I cook a huge Baron of Beef and order a couple of dozen Tim Horton country buns or more depending on how many are coming (they really are nice for beef dip). This dessert can be made 2 weeks in advance and kept in the freezer. Whatever's left I send home with the kids, neither DH or I need to have an extra piece if you know what I mean :o). If you and others would like the recipe I'll post it, except for the crust there's no cooking involved, it is supposed to serve 12 but don't count on it.

Leasa, I've been salivating over that lobster ever since you posted. I've been having computer woes (see my post). I love lobster, except for the $100 kind.

One Christmas many years ago I made a lobster bisque. I really need to try that again. It was Julia Child's recipe and it was incredible. But nothing beats lobster simply dipped in clarified butter.

Who do you suppose the first person was to look at one of these crazy looking things and decide to eat it? It must have taken some courage.

I love lobster and ALL seafood! There is nothing like eating fresh seafood right where it is caught. It's the absolute best!

If you cook the lobster, I will bring some TX bar-b-que and some Tex-Mex to the feast. We have to have all regions represented you know! :-)

OK..now my mouth is watering..................

Guess I'm the one who's breaking into the tank, stealing all the lobsters and running them back to a nice natural place where they can live out their lives.

I'll leave vegetables in their place ;)
