It's lobster season here. The Bay of Fundy... which some say produces the best lobster in the world. Fresh... from the ocean to the boat to me, within hours. First, the innocuous pot in the fridge, where the victim is confined:
The wet newspaper shroud... who would think to look beneath?
The victim; isn't he (I think it was a he...) beautiful?
A desperate attempt to escape... But let's keep this in perspective: apparently Jacques Cousteau wouldn't eat lobster because he regarded them as bottom-feeding insects...
The crime scene...
Butter and garlic, accessories after the fact...
Wine: witness? or accomplice...?
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED! Note: appropriate and heartfelt prayers were whispered.
Wine, your fingerprints were all over the crime scene...
Recovering the body...
The autopsy...
Aha! Just as I thought! Further investigation is required....
The mystery deepens...
Like a true child of children of the Great Depression, she saves the best for the last:
The incriminating evidence... (Wine, is that you again!??)
I admit... a lobster died in the production of this post. The producer is deeply grateful to that lobster for its sustaining gift of life... and delicate flavour. (Apologies to CSI -- Crime Scene.) The producer also hopes she'll be able to sleep tonight.
Tee hee hee! "Wine, is that you again?" Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a chance to comment earlier because I always have trouble with this commenting format (the one where there's a drop-down list, rather than a separate page or pop-up window). But here I am now! So glad to be reading you!
Looks delicious! Guess we'll need lots of wine when we partake!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, this post is great!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, well as a newly minted plant eater, I must concur with Jacques Cousteau. Since lobsters and other shell fish are bottom feeders they have delightful access to all the ehavy metals they can ingest. Yes, back in my carnivore daze I too ate and loved the taste of lobster. However, it is not the right of humans to continually devour the sea's bounty. Awareness is so much more that my personal spiritual enlightenment. As HU~mans, we are quickly evolving into a species, where we may not have much time left on this Earthly plane, due to our lack of foresight, the hubris of it all. All in all, a wonderfully written post . . .even if no one is reading.
