Does not contain fruit OR veggies: Lobster Mac!

Ok people - I am not going to apologize for the sparse postings recently. The truth is, I have been living it up and squeezing the most possible out of the end of this summer. I am, however, going to apologize for how jealous this post is going to make you.  Sorry.


I was lucky enough to recently celebrate my birthday with some of my favorite family and friends that flew in from great distances for the occasion. I think my promises to cook the freshest and best seafood worked because not only did it get them here, but they egged me on to cook amazing things all weekend. It was awesome.

Let me paint a picture for you... It was the last night everyone was in town and we decided we hadn't had enough seafood despite the ridiculous dinners we had already had (big eye tuna, salmon, fresh local clams and oysters that we caught ourselves, shrimp, lobster, and scallops) so we decided to try and outdo ourselves. With lobster mac and cheese. I leave you to watch this photo montage with these five words... 


Lobster. 


Gruyere. 


Fresh buttered croutons.

I have no words.  Well, aside from these... Ina, I love you. You are my idol. The wind beneath my wings. I want to be you. This recipe changes lives.
