Thank you to blogger, John Rieber, for this splendid post about our recent culinary collaboration. It was a lot of fun to create a local fish dish while John did the same. His dish was a very exotic Lobster Newberg. John has also shared a bit about my books for which I am very grateful. His amazing support is appreciated.
If you don’t know John, do go over and have a look around his blog. He writes about all sorts of interesting things like events in NYC, his travels, and his adventurous cooking experiments.

Oh dear, I’ve read a few similar complaints generally in Blogland recently. I think you would like John. He stands for the same political ideology that you do.

Do you know, John? He is a great blogger. The Lobster Newberg looks very exotic to me.

Yes, I’ve seen John around! Once I looked at the Lobster Newbert recipe, I realized I was thinking of Lobster Thermador. In any event, I think lobster is best when it’s steamed and dipped in melted butter.

Hi Martina, I have only eaten lobster once in my life so Lobster Newberg is very exotic for me too. Part of the fun of these challenges is learning about food from other places.

Yes, of course, Roberta, and I thought that it would be very special to meet at Lobster Newberg in New York and eat Lobster together!:)

lol, living closer to where John lives I do not think of Lobster Newberg as exotic! Often expensive, yes….

It sounds expensive. Lobster is expensive here … and hard to find. It is exotic for me. I’ve only ever eaten lobster once.

Lobster can be very expensive at restaurants, usually the priciest thing on the menu where it is served.

Hit “send” too soon. Buying fresh (read “living”) lobster at a fish market or even the neighborhood grocery story isn’t that expensive, though not cheap.
