So às I wàs thinking of whàt to prepàre for our speciàl Christmàs Eve dinner àt home (becàuse I wàited too long to màke reservàtions….sigh)  I immediàtely thought of à Lobster Tàil stuffed with Cràb Imperiàl. àfter àll, I hàd àll the ingredients àlreàdy in-house.

Whàt struck me às funny às I served up my “surprise dinner”  Lisà commented thàt I hàd never màde this for her before. I guess I couldn’t hàve picked à better time, Christmàs Eve às the snow stàrted fàlling we sàt down to àn àmàzing dinner in the wàrmth ànd comfort of our home, àt à fràction of the price it would hàve cost us going out to dinner.
