June 3 was BSK’s birthday. Age is 81. Looks 35/40 years younger. Still slender, shapely, flexible with energy, creativity, strength, skills of all kinds undiminished by age. Some forty years ago, BSK was diagnosed with an allergy to crustaceans. In other words, if a sea critter had claws—lobster, shrimp,crab —BSK couldn’t eat it. Earlier this year, an examination revealed that the crustacean allergy had disappeared. So, BSK began enjoying shrimp again, But, it was only last night that BSK rediscovered lobster. Birthday dinner at Ocean Mist Farm, the verdant Prince Edward Island home of Noel and Yossi M. (BSK’s sister and brother in law). Yossi carefully steamed large lobsters. Noel made a tasty, herbaceous potato salad Despite the passing decades, BSK hadn’t forgotten her lobster cracking expertise. First taste of lobster. “Wow, so sweet, tender and delicious,” said BSK. Guess there will be much lobster in BSK’s future (including sumptuous lobster rolls at The Lobster Shack in the Town of Souris). Meal concluded with vanilla ice cream smothered in Noel’s rhubarb/strawberry compote. The meal ingredients were locavore. Potatoes, rhubarb, strawberries, and herbs were from Ocean Mist Farm. Lobsters came from the sea a few miles away. Ice cream from a PEI dairy. Yes, PEI provides a foodie feast.
