Lulu’s Musings….

Agreeing to host the wedding at our house, the hubby told the bride to be she owed him a lobster roll and a beer! Not a bad tradeoff, so when the subject of where to have a dinner following the wedding was being discussed, he suggested (not too seriously) lobster rolls at the house. Bingo, the idea took on a life of its own.

Once more the lobster plates were pulled from the cabinet and put atop table runners and matching place mats that had just been purchased on eBay to replace my much used ones. Who knew they would come in handy so soon?

Heart rocks and mussel shells collected on various island explorations were arranged on the table.

Each place had a special glass as a memento for the guests, and flat rocks were transformed into place cards.

The table as is was perfect for a casual dinner, but since this was a most special occasion, flowers were added to dress it up. Three square glass containers filled with white flowers, greenery and fragrant herbs added just the right touch.

The finished table was a delight, warm and welcoming with hints of elegance and whimsy..

And, what about the lobster rolls?

They were served buffet style, along with cole slaw, corn on the cob and potato chips, from the kitchen

with a collection of favorite Maine cookbooks serving as the backdrop.
Were the lobster rolls a good idea? Judging from the crumbs that were left, I’d say yes!
