I'm such a slacker!

Procrastination is not my best quality.
This post is really late, and so are the ones to come.
Unfortunately I am always saying
"Better late than never!"
Because Lex and I are too poor to buy our family presents for Christmas,
we decided to start a new tradition . . .
LOBSTER FEST!
This is our fourth year having this Christmas dinner.
Every year it gets bigger and bigger.
More family means more lobster and more food.
Starting in October, Lex free dives for the lobster.
This year we cooked about 75 lobsters.
On the menu . . .
Homemade Rolls
Crawfish Corn Chowder
Fruit Salad
Mac Salad
Fried Rice
Grilled Lobster
Lobster Dynamite
Dessert Buffet



These are the Lobster Dynamite. Lobster and crab mixed with a
dynamite sauce and then baked. Mmmmm!

Grilled Lobster!

The best ever fried rice.

Desea has a sweet tooth just like her Papa Red. This is how she started off the night.

Here are some random pics . . .
