Recycled Computers and Champagne Lobster




We packed up the old computers, heavy CRT monitors and some old UPS units and headed off to the county recycling center.
 



This equipment from the last century has been replaced by this:




On the way home, we stopped off at Home Depot for 8 bags of cedar mulch, which will be used in the front garden bed when we pull out the weeds. 

OK, so that's the clean-up part of today's story.  The exciting part is the champagne lobster, which has the most heavenly sauce made with champagne, shallots, thyme, vanilla bean and butter.  The lobster tails are stuffed with butter, fresh chives and lemon juice.  We served it all with corn on the cob and steamed asparagus, and, of course, champagne to wash it all down.
