David and I were invited to a lobster and clam dinner last night with some friends. They had 6 fresh, live lobsters and a pot full of clams flown in from Maine. We had a wonderful feast that started out with a wonderful clam chowder, followed by asparagus wrapped in procuitto and swiss, then the pot of steamed clams was served. The main course was the lobster, corn on the cob and potato salad. Desserts were homemade cream puffs and a pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling along with hot coffee that we all enjoyed while sitting around a nice toasty fire. The meal was served outside next to the pool and it was quite chilly but oh so much fun! What a delightful evening with friends and fantastic food!
we even had lobster facts on the place mats
