Lobster Rolls

This one is for "Mom" Vedder (may she rest in Peace). Living in Maine, she LOVED lobster:

1 T. butter, softened
4 hot dog buns or kaiser rolls, split
4 lettuce leaves
1 & 1/2 lbs. cooked and cubed lobster meat
2 T. light* mayo.
1 t. fresh lemon* juice
1 dash (or to your liking) hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco)
2 green onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
Sea salt* and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pinch dried basil, parsley or tarragon

Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves. Set aside. In a med. bowl, stir together the mayo, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, and S&P until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart. Stuff the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle with herbs. Serve with fried clams with MM's tartar sauce (recipe to follow), crisp thin fries seasoned with Johnny's Garlic Spread, and ice cold watermelon spears.

Keep your chin up today, and take lots of deep breaths.

Love,

MM
