Lobster Salad Stuffed Eggs

August 5th, 2007

I was looking for a recipe for stuffed cabbage on epicurious.com and stumbled across this recipe. Yum.

Ingredients
1/4 pound cooked lobster meat or the meat of 1 cooked King crab
leg, chopped fine (about 1/2 cup)
2 radishes, chopped fine
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco
3 hard-boiled large eggs
1/2 cup finely shredded romaine for garnish
1/2 cup finely shredded cabbage for garnish

Preparation
In a bowl combine well the lobster, the radishes, the scallion, the celery, the parsley, the mayonnaise, the lemon juice, the Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste. Halve the eggs crosswise and remove the yolks. Chop 1 of the yolks, reserving the other 2 for another use, and stir it into the lobster salad. Divide the romaine and the cabbage between 2 salad plates, forming nests, fill the whites with the lobster salad, and arrange the eggs in the nests.

Prep Time: 45 minutes Serving Size: 2

Not yours! Hippie.

We spotted this lovely sign at entrance to Union Square park. I thought it might have been a practical joke, but no…the ordinance is published in ARTICLE 4: DISORDERLY CONDUCT. However, the sign maker cited the wrong code (it’s actually 4.01/k). Does that create a loop hole allowing one to avoid prosecution?

Today is not that day. Holy cow, I want this trailor so bad that I can’t even think about anything else. Well, except for the 1965 Ford Falcon convertible that I would need to buy to pull it.

My birthday is coming up soon. Anyone need a gift idea? Teardrop Trailor.

I find Charley Harper’s work very inspiring. When designing toys for Zucchini Pie, I tried to keep his minimalistic nature designs in mind. I just found out he passed away last week.

There is a new career-retrospective: Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life by Todd Oldham. I would really love to have a copy of the limited edition 2 signed by both Harper and Oldham and it comes with a screenprint of Shadow Dancers.

Accidental tourists, and a couple of intentional ones.

We went to Alcatraz last weekend with Russell and Lisa who were visiting from England. We weren’t sure if we were going to like it, being a touristy thing to do and all. We had so much fun! The audio tour was great–lots of history. The views of our favorite city were breathtaking.

We spent some time wandering around. There are a few shells of old buildings. Here’s a photo looking through a window into the old Officers Club.

It was also nesting season when we were there. There were lots of mama gulls with their lil babies.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. If Mitch was a convicted criminal, this is what he would look like if you were visiting him in prison.
