Charlie’s Birthday Lobster Thermidor

It’s that time of year again: Charlie the beagle dog’s birthday! My feisty pup turned 9 this year and as is our tradition I make him his favorite food to celebrate: Lobster! Yes, you read that right I feed my dog lobster. He loves it more than anything and dances around like a puppy when he sees and smells it. Sometimes he just gets a plate of steamed Maine Lobster, other years I make him a special dish.
Here are two of Charlie’s birthday Lobster meals from years past:

Lucky Dog Lobster and Potato Hash with Hollandaise

Lobster Roll 

This year I decided to make my favorite Lobster Thermidor. Charlie isn’t a fan of mushrooms so he had a heaping plate of fresh lobster for his dinner. We also treated the pups to birthday dog cookies from my favorite dog bakery back home 3 Dogs and a Chick. You can order from their Etsy page here.
 
Happy Birthday Charlie Brown! You are one loved pup!
 
Charlie loves me but he’s a Daddy’s boy all the way!

You can have your lobster’s steamed at the store or steam them fresh at home.
 Look at this beauty!
Soft and sweet lobster meat from two Maine Lobsters (tails and claws). 
Roughly chop and set aside while you make the filling.
Charlie digging in to his plate of lobster! Happy boy!
I use kitchen shears to cut the tails open and rinse them out.
Then simply stuff with your lobster filling, top with cheese and paprika, 
and bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
Serve with lemon and a sprinkle of parsley! Creamy and absolutely delicious!
 
 
 
 We didn’t forget Charlie’s (and Dylan’s) dessert!
We love you Charlie.

🌳 ✨️NWA Must See : Listening Forest by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 
My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing this nighttime interactive exhibit at @crystalbridgesmuseum last week. It was unlike anything we have ever done before and we spent two fun filled hours exploring the lighted forest and all the lights, music, sculptures, and sounds within. Hands down one of the best experiences we have had so far in Arkansas!

It's #WhatchaReadingWednesday (a day late, whoops!). I was so excited to find this Choose Your Own Adventure book at @samsclub and it's a #StrangerThings story! I loved these books growing up and I am super excited they are making a comeback. This easy read is perfect for throwing in your bag and picking up anytime you have a break and want to read a chapter or two of a story. Super excited to read this one and you know I plan of reading all 25 endings! ✨️
