Last evening’s lobster boil was scheduled to take place at the beach. I was glad I selected Partridge Island Beach with a couple shelters over the picnic table.
I had prepared well but as I drove to the venue I saw lighting… pretended it didn’t happen and carried on. Trying to set the table with the strong winds whipping across the beach was a bit frustrating and when the thunder and lighting increased I decided to wait a while. The dinner guests rolled up shortly before 6 pm and were fine with my suggestion to push the lobster boil to 7 pm.
They returned just before the agreed upon time. The sit-upons I provided were much appreciated as the benches were thoroughly soaked! The lobsters were cooked to perfection and everyone exclaimed multiple times that this was “the best lobster dinner” they ever had. I like to hear that!!
I treated everyone to home-made dessert and my little portable espresso maker came in handy. Everyone departed with big smiles and the feedback I received from the person who booked the dinner was very positive! It was great to finally serve a rustic lobster dinner at the beach! Can’t wait for more of these next season.
