4. Lobsters!

As we were driving down our street in Panama, a fellow was selling lobsters out of his car’s trunk. We picked out two for dinner.

These are warm water crustaceans that don’t have claws so the only real treats are the tails and roe (if female). I plan to steam them.

My wife will roast some potatoes in olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper and Rosemary. She’s also making creamed spinach.

Food is very reasonable here and the lobsters— about 1-1/4 lbs. each— were only $6.00 apiece.

Chunky Monkey ice cream for dessert.
