Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 qrtr live lobsters -- or up to 3
3 tbsp butter
4 c milk

Steam the lobsters. Remove the meat from the shell. Cover and cool.

Melt the butter in an enamelled cast-iron saucepan or a flameware saucepan.
Add the lobster meat and simmer over low heat for a few minutes, add the
milk and stir most of the time until hot, add the cream and keep on
stirring. When hot, simmer for a few minutes, but do not boil. Cool. Cover

of the lobster. Reheat, without boiling, and, just before serving, season
to taste with salt and pepper.

NOTES : This makes a delicious meal to serve in the garden, with a
basketful of hot buttered crackers, and followed by strawberries, thick
cream and maple sugar.
