Let’s Talk About Lobster

It might be good for what ails you.

This time of year is Lent, the time when many folks spend 40 days abstaining from meat and doing better with their lives. I’ve been a part of it for years.

Anyway, you’re supposed to eat some type of fish every Friday. My parents and I decided what the hey yesterday and ate at Red Lobster.

And I said screw it: “I’d like the al a cart popcorn shrimp and lobster tail with butter.” With a few of their mouthwatering biscuits and seafood stuffed mushrooms I was set.

As I ate my lobster, I thought to myself: “I’m bettering my life.”

I wouldn’t have had lobster ten years ago. But now, I wouldn’t mind having it every now and again.

Expanding Your Horizons

I’m expanding my horizons, enjoying food I never would have dreamed of liking. I’m turning myself into a cultured person.

And you should too.

The world is too big and life is too short to just be doing the same thing every day. I know there’s something new deep inside you that you want to do, so what’re you waiting for?

You know you want to.

Don’t just eat that frog, eat that lobster.
