1 I've never had lobster in any form. I am a huge fan of ravioli, so I might be pursuaded to one day try this. I think I could bring myself to start out with live lobsters.

2 Phil's winning the Master's was a great thing to watch. In fact, the entire broadcast was probably the best golf I've ever seen on television. Two holes in one on 16 within ten minutes time, K.J. Choi's holing out a 5 iron on the 11th hole, Ernie Els making two eagles, and of course, Phil's stellar play. Looking back, if Phil doesn't make that par putt on 10, he's looking a bogey or worse. That putt was key, allowing him to make birdies coming in, capped off with a courageous putt to win on the 18th. Two predictions: one, having won his first, Phil will have the confidence and know he can and will win numerous majors; and two, look for lobster ravoli on next year's Masters Champions dinner menu.

3 Mmmmmm...lobster. The sound it makes soon after it goes into the boiling water is not REALLY screaming; it just kind of sounds like it. :-p Thanks for the recipe, since anything even remotely connected to New Orleans is bound to be a culinary delight (even though the smaller lobsters native to the Gulf aren't as good for eating as the Atlantic ones).
