My granddaughter went to a local store and bought dinner for tonight.
She did all the prep and cooking too.

Grilled lobster tails. She made a butter and herb baste for them. Only
thing I did was start the grill and supply the wine. Excellent.
Accompanied by sliced tomato with basil and olive oil.

Wince was a Berringer chardonnay that is aged in bourbon barrels for
part of it life.

It was her first time grilling lobster tails and she did an excellent job.

I'm using up potatoes and onions. I cut the potatoes in bite size pieces,
soaked in cold water and salt, dried them off, then mixed with French fry
seasoning, Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Cooked in the air fryer. Why is it
the first batch in the air fryer doesn't come out as good as subsequent
batches? It was well preheated.

I caramelized 4 onions in butter. Just before they were done, I added chunks
of organic, grass fed ground beef and a little Morton's seasoning salt.

Also finishing off the last of the cherry pie with pecan crust.

Yum!

Do you know whether those tails were from Maine lobster or from
Florida lobster? Maine lobster are large and have large claws...
Florida lobster (la gusta) are small and have no claws. In Florida
you should be able to get live la gusta. I think live lobster are
much better than frozen. Thing is when buying lobster tails they are
always frozen... live whole lobster are much better than frozen.
Anyway sounds like you had a greeat and enjoyable dinner, and you
didn't have to cook. Besides the vino what accompanied the lobster?

They were Maine tails. Whole lobster is pretty expensive here but
better than the local stuff.

Nothing too special. Mashed potatoes leftover from the previous night
and tomato slices with fresh basil and olive oil.
