Double Double

My wife once told me the only place she would eat a lobster was at her parent's camp on Spruce Point. Well, today was a lovely day at the Point, and we enjoyed a delicious meal with her parents while taking in the view and watching the lobster boats come and go. 


What every painter knows, but most others forget
is how bright colors dim in artificial light

and lobster tastes most fresh
the nearer to death
you set your teeth into the lobster’s flesh.

With Drizzled Warm Butter, Intensely Rendered, by Dick Allen


"Is it not possible that future generations will regard our own present agribusiness and eating practices in much the same way we now view Nero's entertainments or Aztec sacrifices? My own immediate reaction is that such a comparison is hysterical, extreme -- and yet the reason it seems extreme to me appears to be that I believe animals are less morally important than human beings"

from Consider the Lobster, by David Foster Wallace


O well done! I commend your pains; 
And every one shall share i' the gains;
And now about the cauldron sing,
Like elves and fairies in a ring, 
Enchanting all that you put in.

Macbeth Act 4 Scene 1
