Puzzling Mind Preparing for the Snow to Plummet

Make Sure You Have Your Bag Packed Incase You Get Stuck in the Storm

Apparently, I cannot get my mind to think straight with all of this snow talk. Really, your puzzling mind is preparing for the snow to plummet? How much snow will we get? Let me watch the weather forecast like a crack head craving for my next hit. Please do not take offense to that analogy. But seriously, we only focus on the weather channel like a hawk when we hear of a storm coming. Ultimately, I guess it makes our lives interesting.

Yes, I am still puzzled by why we only need milk, eggs and bread when their is a snow storm. Furthermore, why do we as humans race to the grocery store to buy up all of the milk, eggs and bread on the shelves just as the snow starts to plummet? Inquiring minds really do want to know how and why this is considered getting prepared for a snow storm.

What you did to prepare for the storm will determine how fast you recover from the storm.

This year especially, has me thinking and reflecting on the years past. December is typically the month of reflection. However, I feel as though I am reflecting even more now than I ever did. For instance, I am looking at old pictures and all the meaning behind them. In addition to old pictures, I am listening to traditional Christmas songs play over and over again. Literally, I’m thinking like, these songs need to be upgraded. On the other hand, I really do like classic and traditional songs too. Apparently, my mind is still puzzling me as the snow begins to plummet. Ahh the Memories!! That’s it, we have fond memories. Both good and bad memories.

The House Smells Like Lobster 🦞

The Aroma of Memory Lane

LOBSTER NATION

As I opened the door to step inside my house after a long day at the office, I got a big whif of an old memory. “I Know that smell and I know it very well”. My eyes went straight to the pot on the stove. “oh yes, we must be having lobster tonight!” I can catch a lobster, I can cook a lobster and I can eat a lobster. I must have been amuned to this smell working in a seafood restaurant, cooking about 500 lobsters a day. Why is it, the smell seems different when you cook it in the house? “It must be that old bay seasoning”. My only thought was I hope we have bleach so we can clean the pans right away. I really don’t want seagulls flying around the house.

Raised by the Boats

Kicking back on the Lobster Boat

If you ask me where I grew up, I usually respond right on the water. My family are all lobstermen and fishermen. It’s in our blood. Yes, we caught our own meals. We could sell what we caught too. Life on the boats as a kid was fun. We had cookouts on the boats, we could jump off the boats to swim. We even would latch boats next to each other and hop from boat to boat out in the middle of the ocean. The Blessing of the Fleet was always a blast too. A lot of our family memories were made on the boats. I say boats, because their was more than one boat in the family.

Where it all came from

The Original Silver Fox

Gramps moved down from the city to start his own off shore lobstering business. Infact, the yard was larger than the actual house they slept in. Needed a spot to build and keep your own lobster pots. He fed all of his children and grandchildren this way. He also passed down his legacy to his two sons who are also successful lobstermen, running their own boats and businesses just like he did. So, when I say I know the lobster smell all to well, believe me. Picture a little girl hugging her grandfather after his long day out at sea and when she curled into his body, the smell from his sweatshirt was that of a LOBSTERMAN 🦞.

Here’s to summertime seafood cooking

Do you enjoy lobsters? Do you like going out on boats? Summer months are shorter and shorter these days. Enjoy the seabreeze as much as you can.
