Perhaps it was the strength of the beer I just drank, but I am not following this. I get that you had a BOS MR and that you had a 3.5 lb lobster. I don't follow the at a pound yesterday. Is that east coast speak?

There is a propensity in New England to name seafood restaurants "_______ Lobster Pound".

Qunadry: what is "perles de pate et fromage de brebis" with "vinaigrette a la betterave" and why is hot pink??

Literally "beads" of pate with a sheep's cheese and a beet vinaigrette.

Chic or not the VS pink brand is not appropriate for 12 yearolds.

Oh, you are sooooooooo right. I cringe when I see little ones wearing provocative clothing.

No, it's not automatic - she needs to 'enroll' her card! :rolleyes: Not that I've necessarily looking at getting any 'real' benefits from that status other than accruing more starpoints!:D

Thanks - got her enrolled! I just want her to have more starpoints; she'll already have a suite and club access (on a killer rate I might add!).

Not rubbing it in or anything but it was really good. Cole slaw and fried rings just made it even better.

Yes, it was a lobster pound. Some places may be called a lobster pool.

Took some hunting and my handy "ask a Frenchie" to figure out they mean "Pâtes cuites" which is essentially risotto. "Cooked paste" as it were.

So it's a risotto with sheep's cheese and a beet vinaigrette (and there are tomatos, sun dried i suspect, in there as well.)

:cool: -- so she's on her way to getting lot of starpoints -- is she enrolled in the SPG promotion (2 stays/get 1 w/end night free)?! ^I just wish that the free w/end nights expiration was later than Sept. 27!:td:

Don't think I can get up from bed now (have have a fairly busy day already -- chuch, lunch out w/son & brother) -- but so tired!:rolleyes:

The guy a row back just said that Joe's Crab Shack is an excellent seafood restaurant. I might need another preboard beverage. These sentences were likely related.

Glad you enjoyed it! When I used to vacation in Maine -- I'd have lobster for breakfast, lunch & dinner!

Yes, it was a lobster pound. Some places may be called a lobster pool.

I always associated lobster pounds with where the fresh lobster is brought in off the lobster boats.^

There are many locations where specific food items should be eaten as often as possible - I ate salmon every meal in ANC.
