A glut of lobster ~

We have had very cheap lobster here in New England recently.  The price is below the cost of even the cheapest cut of baloney!  The news reports that there is a glut of lobster this year.  Usually it's a rare treat for us even in summer, but this summer it's been even a midweek meal!  I love fresh lobster, so I am enjoying this summer's bounty very much.

I joined my friends last night feasting on this healthy dish (and I believe lobster healthy), even having more than one.  Just be stingy with the drawn butter if you want to keep it low cal!

I made a rice salad to go with dinner and everyone loved it.  It's a southwestern dish and here is a link to the recipe.  Well, the link is to make salsa.  But I added about 2 cups of cooled, cooked basmati rice.  Everyone thought it was fabulous.

 

 

Here's a link to the recipe, when I made it as a salsa.  I cut the ingredients down a bit, so it made a nice balance.

I used 1/4 chopped red onion, 1/4 chopped red pepper, 1/2 can black beans, 1 cooked ear of corn, shucked, 2 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced, 1 avocado, chopped and 1/2 bunch of chopped cilantro.  I made the entire amount of lime and cumin dressing, because I save it and use it on my salads.  But I only dressed it with 3 tablespoons of it.
