Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Lobsters are not meat


For fasting purposes, they aren't meat. It's kinda funny that oysters and lobsters were once poverty foods in North America.  


A few fun facts about our lobsters:


- The really big ones are the breeders. But the laws say the fishermen can only keep the big ones. Maine has it figured out better.


- The red roe in the occasional female is the best


 - The meat is just as tender in big ones as in 1-pounders. Makes more sense to buy a 4-6-pounder, and share.


- Striped Bass love to eat small lobsters 


- There is a fun book: The Secret Life of Lobsters

I saw a lobster (just the shell I assume) on the wall of a restaurant in Lexington Ma. in 1963 that was probably bigger than either of the two in the picture.

Whenever we go to a restaurant with a live lobster tank, I always tease my wife. I like to point to the lobsters and ask her, "Would you like to eat Richard, or Bill or Laura or Susan? It mildly upsets her.

She likes to eat lobster, beef and pork, she just doesn't want to know the animals when they were alive.
