Adventure from the high seas…

It turns out that cook extraordinaire Maria da Penha doesn’t have much experience cooking lobster. Luckily, even I can boil lobster. The kids were fascinated by the fish market hall for about 40 seconds.IMG_5623 (682x1024)The shrimp are enormous. As I type, Penha is boiling water in which to cast the poor little buggers.IMG_5645 (1024x683) Just as a point of reference, I’m 6’3” (1.91 meters) and have pretty big hands.IMG_5638 (1024x683)The lobsters are so beautiful in the sunlight that streams through the kitchen window that it almost seems like a shame to eat them. Almost.IMG_5639 (1024x684) IMG_5631 (683x1024)IMG_5641 (684x1024)IMG_5644 (1024x683)IMG_5649 (682x1024)
