I am obsessed with lobster rolls. Tonight, I made two using a classic, basic recipe: lobster meat with mayo, salt and pepper, served with lettuce in a buttered and grilled bun.

I hate eggplant. This was my yearly attempt to try to start liking it. It failed. The sauce was delicious but the veggie stayed on the plate.

After work, I went to the launch of a new "low fat" Breyers ice cream. There was an open bar and an open ice cream parlor!

Not bad. It had a slight buttermilk aftertaste.

Better than the vanilla. Still, I prefer to eat homemade, full-fat ice cream. And that's probably why I'm a chubby, happy gal.

I didn't have dinner that night. I was too full of booze and sugar.
My guess is I wasn't the only one.
