A little indulgence tonight - everything store-bought: whole lobsters and claws, grilled vegetables (in a jar), baguettes. All I did was the lemon butter sauce (water, butter, lemon juice, fresh garlic) and the tweaked New Orleans Sauce (ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, ginger instead of horse radish, sriracha).😊
