Lobster Scrambled Eggs and My Fathers Favorite Dinner Table Joke
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

Yup, I used to weigh 110 pounds when I was in India, here I put on 10 pounds so I am in a process to loose some weight and get the lost haute look. Now I am concentrating more on 30min exercises and diet. Every day 15min Ill do cycling and lift 8 pounds weights 20 times in 3 sets. Thats it Im done. I just planned this because it suites my body style. Coming to the diet I am planning to eat salads and roti every day. Im gonna do this for 30days. So friends wish me all the best and lets see if I loose any weight.
