I’m sitting in an open Samoan Fale, not very different from the one in the picture above. I’m barefoot and wearing a pair of shorts and an open Aloha shirt. The tempter is 29⁰C (84⁰F) and the humidity is 87%. Read more It’s just too easy to forget that some of you are arse deep in snow. Very seldom is the weather bad enough to make me think twice about using the BBQ. You can save this simple but delicious recipe for grilled lobster for summer. I cook lobster several ways but simple grilling is my favorite. I use Pacific lobster so the claws are not an issue but I mention them for those of you lucky enough to get Atlantic lobster. See less
