Bring The Sea Home To Have A Joyful Table Gathering (July 12 – July 18, 2015)

If you can’t take the heat, bring chilled food to the table. We like cold lobster salad. It is so easy. Just boil the lobster and crack out the meat. Chop the lobster meat, add diced celery and add a dollop of sour cream (just enough to cover the mixture). Add a dash of celery salt for flavor and almond slices. I finish my lobster salad off with peeled seedless grapes mixed into the salad. (Grapes are easily peeled by dropping the grapes into simmering water for 3 seconds and then dropping the grapes into ice water.) Serve the lobster salad completely chilled. The tropical treat is highlighted with pie crust cutouts of whimsical coastal creatures such as lobsters and turtles. Bake the pie crust shapes for about 10 minutes, until done. Then, brush the crusts with garlic butter. The coastal theme will take the sear out of the heat wave and win the hearts of those gathered. © Kelly McBride Loft
