I suppose some people are waiting for a Post-Lobster Post, to follow yesterday’s Pre-Lobster post. I traveled with some of my Elks friends to Cobleskill Elks Lodge where they were having their annual Lobsterfest. The others had been there before, but this was my first fest and indeed my first full lobster. Yikes! I heard they were hard to get into.
Yes, wine was involved.
I did not remember to take a picture of my two lobsters and all the fixings. Instead I had at the first one right away, working with a nutcracker and determination. I did not even begin the second one but had brought a couple gallon storage bags to take leftovers home in. I brought home the corn on the cob, cole slaw, and watermelon, too, although I did eat the salt potatoes.
I put in for several items on the basket raffle too, but did not get lucky this time. I also got in on the 50/50 and a wooden rocking chair raffle, so I feel I supported the Cobleskill Elks Lodge.
Only part of our fun bunch!
On the way home, we stopped at the Esperance Elks Lodge, just to say hello. That’s the fun part about being an Elk, lots of lodges to check out.
I did not go up these stairs.
We also stopped for ice cream. I got a root beer float with chocolate ice cream. Yum! It was quite the fun day, and I have a whole lobster in my refrigerator, waiting for me to crack it open and enjoy.
