Recently a friend brought me two lobsters.
I love lobster dinners. But I like my lobsters delivered to me by a waiter, with the inside of the lobster neatly separated from its shell. All I have to do is take a piece of lobster on a fork, dip it into butter and enjoy.
But the two lobsters were clinging to their shells and one of them was still alive.
I had no idea how to prepare them. My cooking ability is limited to boiling eggs.
I called a friend who is a gourmet cook for help. She instructed me to boil water and, as it was boiling, drop a lobster into the water for three to five minutes, add condiments and bon appetit.
"But one is alive," I told her.
"Makes no difference," she said, "just drop him into the boiling water.
"That's like murder," I told her. "I can't kill a living thing."
She tried to placate me. "He dies instantly. He won't feel a thing."
