Tonight's dinner was a big freakin' feast, sans recipes. We had:

artichokes, steamed, with mayo

garlic knot rolls from the supermarket

Caesar salad from a “salad-in-a-kit” bag

Yukon golds, boiled in the steamer's water and mashed w/ fat-free half-and-half and butter ('cause that way, they cancel each other out)

and, the piece de resistance:

LOBSTER, steamed at the supermarket (one of two benefits of living in New England).

Why so many side dishes? Because it sucks to spend thirty bucks on lobster and still be hungry afterwards.

Dinner will be homemade brownies and store-bought caramel ice cream.

Monstro has yet to unpack his plethora of Ryobi power tools but I'm guessing that'll happen sooner rather than later.

Happy Father's Day, all.
