3 states came together for this summer extravaganza! Our friend Dixon is originally from Maine. Her parents were coming down to PA for a visit and held a lobster bake for us at the end of the summer. Ryan and I realized it had been forever since we had been to a camp ground. Despite the rainy conditions, we dug in and enjoyed our FRESH Maine lobster. And by fresh, I mean I got to tell each one of them goodbye before they went in the pot. Funny thing is, I wasn't upset or grossed out at all - in fact, I kind of enjoyed the whole thing. Guess I'm more ready for a little boy than I might have originally thought : ) We ended the evening with a whoopie pie taste off. Apparently there is some sort of argument going on between the states of Maine and PA arguing over who has the best/original whoopie pie. None of the whoopie pies are WLS friendly, so I did not partake. However, I was willing to be the score keeper. We came in with a tie from our taste testers... 2 for MA, 2 for PA and 1 split decision. Guess the war will rage on between the 2 states. Think I'm kidding... there was seriously a rally held here about it!
Check it out here!
Here we are in action with our Lobsters:
 |
| Cooked and ready to be consumed... these suckers are a lot of work. I'm estimating you can burn about half the calories just trying to eat one! |
 |
| Cooking in the pot right after I told them each goodbye : ) |
 |
| Ryan was a pro at eating these - he was doing them in double time compared to anyone else! |
 |
| After this shot was taken, I put mine back down on the plate and looked at it awhile longer before working up the courage to "break" in. My fingers/thumbs only hurt for a few days after this : ) |

| On the left we have red velvet PA whoopie pie and on the right we have a HUGE MA whoopie pie, also called a GOB. Call it whatever you want... everyone but me was on a serious sugar high after these were "tested" : ) |
