  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    Live lobsters -- or up to 3
   3      tb            Butter
   4      c             Milk
   1      c             Whipping cream

his makes a delicious meal to serve in the garden, with a basketful
of hot buttered crackers, and followed by strawberries, thick cream,
and maple sugar.

Steam the lobsters. Remove the meat from the shell. Cover and cool.

Melt the butter in an enamelled cast-iron saucepan or a flameware
saucepan. Add the lobster meat and simmer over low heat for a few
minutes, add the milk and stir most of the time until hot, add the
cream and keep on stirring. When hot, simmer for a few minutes, but
do not boil. Cool. Cover and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours before
serving, to develop the full flavor of the lobster. Reheat, without
boiling, and, just before serving, season to taste with salt and
pepper.
