On Nanny’s birthday we (Alec and I) went down to the a local lobster pound to get her a steamed lobster and some chowder. We picked out the lobster to be steamed and discussed a little watered down version of the circle of life. Alec still doesn’t know that the chicken he eats was once an alive chicken or the steak he loves so much comes from cows. We talked it through and he understands that people eat the lobster meat because they think it tastes good. What he couldn’t understand was –who figured out that the meat tasted good. Good question.
The only thing that bums me out about this pound is that they steam/boil them inside. I wish they would would do it outside with the big pots like we use to see on our way to Bar Harbor. They still had the wood fire so a little of the smell was there but it just isn’t quite the same to me.
We took a little walk on the pier while we waited. And visited with friends. (below). I think he was hoping we had some food.
Nanny was thrilled with a visit from us.
Snacks were had. A visit to Nanny’s is nothing if there isn’t a snack….
and some love.
(Although he looks like he isn’t enjoying it – he really is)
