Family friends gave us a gift certificate to Maine Lobster Direct &#8212; a great idea in theory, but we were both slightly terrified of the idea of cooking lobsters (it&#8217;s a bit brutal), so we had them sent to my parents&#8217; house. Two lobsters, and two servings of jumbo shrimp, clam chowder and cherry cheesecake were delivered to my parents&#8217; house, and the four of us enjoyed a long delicious meal after a long week. Mom made extra portions of clam chowder, plus steamed mussels, and steaks to round out our feast.<\/p>\n<p>Out of respect for those who are thoroughly grossed out by the sight of a bowl full of mussels or lobsters shells, I won&#8217;t share a few of the photos I took. Instead, here&#8217;s a lovely photo of the tulips in my parents&#8217; dining room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3524 aligncenter\" alt=\"DSC06831\" src=\"http:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC06831-750x562.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC06831-750x562.jpg 750w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC06831-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC06831-900x675.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><style>.relpost-block-single-image, .relpost-post-image { margin-bottom: 10px; }<\/style><h4>random related posts:<\/h4><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container relpost-block-column-layout\" style=\"--relposth-columns: 5;--relposth-columns_t: 4; --relposth-columns_m: 4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2014\/08\/07\/isabellas-greenhouse-6\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/20140807_175626-100x100.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Isabella&#039;s Greenhouse<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">\r\nI volunteered at the Gardner Museum for the thir...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">August 7, 2014<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2022\/03\/25\/smith-college-lyman-greenhouse\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220329_085637_123.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Smith Greenhouse<\/h2><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">March 25, 2022<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2013\/05\/10\/new-leaf\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/wpid-IMAG0899-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">New Leaf<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">Snapped a quick picture of a really pretty flower ...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">May 10, 2013<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><!-- close relpost-block-container --><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><\/div><!-- close filter class --><\/div><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- Developer mode initialization; Version: ;4.3.3Relation: both; All categories: 1;Found 3 posts;Basic sizes;Got sizes 100x100;Post-thumbnails enabled in theme;Post has thumbnail 5918;Postthname: thumbnail;Using title with size 160.
