I live quite near the boarder to Rhode Island, which has a few benefits, not the least of which, is cheaper gasoline. By driving just a few miles down the road, I can save a few dollars on a fill-up. Another advantage is the fact that I can buy canned soda, without paying the 5 cent deposit on each can, which is made even better by the fact that I can redeem these same cans here in the state of Connecticut for 5 cents each, but, I digress. The point I wish to make is this: I regularly venture into the Stop & Shop near me in RI, to get gas, and will usually bring a cooler with me and take a quick sprint around the store to look for any bargains I can find, and perhaps zero in on dinner.
Today was just such a day, and in my quick sprint around the store, I noticed lobsters at $5.99 pp. Dinner plans were made!
The tomatoes are coming in fast and furious, so fresh herbed tomatoes with kosher salt and robust olive oil are standard procedure this time of year. The lobster went quickly, but the tomatoes only lingered briefly.
