Lobster Macaroni and Cheese

I'm not sure why I think about things like: If I were on death row, what would I choose for my last meal?🤷🏻‍♀️ I mean, I can't even fathom the circumstances that would result in me being forced to choose a last meal but, I have no trouble imagining the meal that I would eat.🤣  It's probably no surprise that it wouldn't be steak or greasy take out food for this girl.  If I only had one meal left to eat, I would choose lobster, crab legs, clams, mussels, shrimp - you get the idea.🦞 🦀 🐠 

Clearly, I'm a seafood lover at heart.  So, can someone please tell me why I live in landlocked Atlanta?😂  It's not as bad as it sounds, really.  We actually get a fair amount of great seafood delivered fresh to our little town.  We just lack the atmosphere of looking out on the ocean while we eat it. 🏝️

Here's a little known fact about me:  I have one brother and he is a lobsterman! 😂 No joke.  In full disclosure, lobstering is not his full time profession but he does trap them in the Atlantic as a hobby.🛥️  There have been summers when he's caught so many lobster, that he's actually gotten tired of eating them.  I honestly, can't even imagine a world where I would get tired of eating lobster.  

Except for those occasions when my lobsterman brother has shipped live lobster to my house; here in Atlanta, I buy frozen lobster tails.  If you haven't tried cooking frozen lobster - you really should.  Steam them for about 8 minutes and they're good to go.  They're delicious to eat plain or to add to something delicious like macaroni and cheese. 🦞
