Lobster Scrambled Eggs and My Fathers Favorite Dinner Table Joke

This posts original title was, " Lobster Scrambled Eggs – I Wonder What the Poor People are Having for Breakfast Today?" Of course I would have explained this socially insensitive query in this first paragraph, but I feared that casual browsers would only read the headline and think I was some kind of major d-bag.

We certainly grew up around a ton of great food, but being of fairly modest means we only enjoyed expensive luxury foods like lobster or Prime Rib once in a great while. Whenever such occasions did present themselves, my father John would always use the same joke. Hed take a bite of whatever, and say to the table with a twinkle in his eye, "I wonder what the poor people are having for dinner tonight?"

Wed all laugh, but it was a more than a simple one-liner to him. The son of immigrants in rough and tumble New York City, he grew up in less than opulent surroundings. You could tell he loved being able to afford splurging on things like lobster once in a while, and Im sure as we ate he thought back to much leaner times.

Anyway, enough with the selfish shellfish reminiscing. When and if you find yourself in possession of some leftover lobster meat, I suggest you do what I did in this video. By the way, feel free to borrow my dads joke, but only if youre also from modest means, otherwise its just not funny. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

4 eggs

handful of lobster pieces, cut in large chunks, dusted with cayenne

tarragon leaves, to taste

salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Today is fathers day and my daughter wanted to eat some thing special. So I decided to cook this recipe of Siddhi, one of the most versatile cooks on the net ( and in the kitchen too) . Please try Chicken Cafreal. from Siddhi.

I am not giving the recipe here as I have cooked exactly as per specification . I am just posting 2 photographs to prove that I did cook it ( Prove to whom? ha ha ) . I have used boneless leg pieces and I advise to use leg pieces or drumsticks as suggested by Siddhi and see the photograph on her blog.

Siddhi , thank you so much for giving to all of us this awesome recipe. (Thank God , you did not taste it, and I am safe as long as you dont taste). Congratulations on your 2nd Blog anniversary . I think when I was cooking the Cafreal , you were baking the cake..ha ha .
