Maybe getting Stupid for Mother's Day

[Hugh R]

Mrs. Hugh R and I both sort of hate Mother's day and Father's day and trying to go out for brunch/dinner, given the stupid waiting times at restaurants.

She said instead, she'd really like some lobster like we had in Kennebunkport, Maine last summer, So I ordered two and had them overnight shipped. $125, yeah its a lot, but she is worth every penny. I figure I'll break even with going to an overpriced restaurant that doesn't take reservations on Mother's Day. I'll be doing them baked/stuffed with shallots, shrimp and scallops, and a little Italian parsley and some other seasonings. Some saffron rice, a nice salad, with avocado, and a nice bottle of wine.

I expect to get ****ed ! Plus taking her to a Billy Joel concert tomorrow night at Dodger's Stadium

We'll played sir.

Guys gotta do what a guys gotta do!
Go luck with you quest and for the record I think you are on the right track!
Heading to Maine this summer again. Last time we ordered or lobster and picked them up prepared from the local store and wrapped in newspaper
It even included the butter!
Yum.

[Hugh R]

For the record, I don't need to ply her with lobster.....

You're a good man, Hugh.
From where did you order them?

[Tobra]

Genius, no wonder she married you.

[Aurel]

Good idea! I may imitate you, and since I live on the east coast, it will be only $25 for a pair of fresh lobsters picked up locally .

Where's the stupid part?

Hugh, I could have overnighted them to you for half that.

Same price per pound as picking them up at their store, but you pay the FED EX shipping.

Thanks, I may take you up on that in the future.

[sugarwood]

$125? I'd gladly pay $500 to avoid the masses and their hallmark holiday crowds.

Yeah, seems normal to me. Our MDs for the last couple of years has involved me coercing the grandsons into making brunch for the womenfolk. With my help they struggled through scrambled eggs and toast while I mix the Screwmosas (what happens when a screwdriver and a mimosa land in the same blender). Womens were touched by all the love.

From the thread title I thought maybe "stupid" was a puppy or something.

Well done, Hugh.
Stupid would have been giving her crabs.
