I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I wouldn't call myself a lobster roll expert, but Lemon Dill Mayo Butter sounds amazing.

I have never had a lobster roll... I would happily put Dill Mayo Butter on a lot of things, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fuck. City came by trimming trees the last two days and absolutely butchered the tree in front of my house.

The whole canopy over the front of the house and the cover for my downstairs neighbor is gone.

It's about half the size it was before.

As you may recall, I had a professional arborist trim it back earlier this year.

So infuriating.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wouldn't call myself a lobster roll expert, but Lemon Dill Mayo Butter sounds amazing.

I was going to say, authenticity be damned I want some of that on everything.

David, oh no!!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

City came by trimming trees

They trimmed the sidewalk side, not just the street side?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Both sides.

And I just had it trimmed!

They pruned branches up ten feet higher on the trunk.

How ugly does it look? Imagine Cher getting a bowlcut.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sucks, Hec. I'm sorry.

Here's the relevant part of the recipe:

Lemon Dill Mayo Butter 2 tablespoons melted butter, slightly cooled 2 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon chopped dill Pinch of salt

Make the Lemon Dill Mayo Butter Whisk melted butter (cooled slightly), mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, and salt.

It's drizzled over the baked and broiled for color mac and cheese (that has lobster meat folded in and topped with brioche breadcrumbs that were toasted with Old Bay)
