why i could never be a vegan

The first time I went to visit H. in Maine, we ate lobster every day.  I felt very lucky.

Day one: a pasta lunch, made extraordinary with buttery, meaty chunks scattered among the fresh tomatoes and salad greens.

On day two, we waited in line for an hour and a half for this beauty.

It was worth it.  The roll consisted of pure, fresh lobster meat, without any mayo to get in the way.  A huge plus for a mayo-hater like myself.  The roll was lightly buttered and toasty-crisp.

We also shared some fried zucchini sticks for a twist from typical fries.

The spread

It was one of the worthiest lines in which I’ve ever stood.
