Tavalisk Cooking Tip #4 You will, of course, be familiar with the concept of gardeners talking to their plants. I advocate following the same procedure with food. Talk to your food. Lull your lobster into a false sense of security before dunking the little devil into the pot.

Instructions

Now, this recipe can be a little tricky, my sweetmeats. The first thing we need to concern ourselves with is the water in the pot. Is it hot enough to set your cat's hair on end? (please see diagram to the left). Is the water at a sufficient level to submerge the lobster completely? Does it have several floating objects to provide variety to the eye and to give the lobster something to thrash against? If you can answer yes to these questions, you are ready to proceed with the dunking.

Obviously, your Gamil will do all the mundane work for you. Once you have thrown the lobster in the pot (preferably from a distance in order to splash hot water on others but not on oneself) all you have to do is sit back and wait.

Well that's all for now, my little sweet-meats. Go forth; cook, eat, practice all I have taught you, and never pass up the chance to be mean to your food.

Bon Appetite!
