Romantic Date Night at Home

Lobster is well known around the world as a lavish, romantic meal. If you’ve never tried staying in and cooking lobster one night for a date night, you’re missing out on a fun evening. Here is how to boil a live lobster and prepare a spectacular date night in the comfort of your home.
First, set the mood for the evening by setting the table like a five-star restaurant. A tablecloth, your finest china, and lots of candles will help turn your table from every day to fabulous. Floating candles give a beautiful ambience and are especially appropriate for seafood dinners like lobsters. Flowers or petals sprinkled on the table can add an extra dose of extravagance. Your favorite music playing softly in the background will turn your home into a private dining haven.
Then, it’s time to prepare the lobster. Bring a pot of water to a high boil. If you like, you can add spices or lemons to the water as well. Make sure your lobster is still alive, for it may not cook properly if it is already dead. Carefully clip the rubber bands off the lobster. Pick up the lobster, using a kitchen towel if you wish, and place head first in the boiling water.
For those of you who are a bit squeamish about killing a lobster, his brain is the size of a grasshopper and is not formulated to feel pain. If you don’t mind stepping on a bug, you shouldn’t mind killing a lobster. If you do, have your significant other put it in the water.
Cover the live lobster and boil for fifteen minutes (for a one to two pound lobster). The lobster shell will turn bright red and the tail will curl when the lobster is done. How can you tell if it is cooked properly? Try tugging off one of the small walking legs. Cooked lobster it will come off easily. The meat inside the lobster will be firm, white, and opaque. To be completely sure, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the lobster. It should be at 180 degrees.
Lemon butter is delicious with lobster, however if you are on a diet you can try mixing honey mustard, olive oil, and a little lemon juice for a succulent substitute. To drink with your meal, white wines offset the rich taste of lobster best. You could stop here and have a luxurious dinner, or you can add a simple salad and breadsticks for a truly abundant meal. Knowing that you made a restaurant-quality meal to be enjoyed quietly with your loved one will make your delicious lobster taste even better.
