Birthday dinner - smoked lobster

[DBWallis]

Saturday was my beautiful wife's birthday, so I made her a special dinner... Smoked lobster tails with garlic butter, and pappardelle pasta with truffle cream sauce:

The tails were drizzled with garlic butter and smoked over apple and cherry at about 180 degrees for abou 20 minutes. I pulled than at 135 degrees internal temp. They were perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, with just the right of smoke flavor.

And the pasta was to die for!

We started the festivities with cocktails made with gin, St. Germain and sparkling wine that were very tasty.

Lord Love a Duck!! Ain't that the best sight of all!! Dang there just ain't nothin like smoked lobster and pasta, they were born to be together.

Very nice. Here in South Texas we'd ruin it by stuffing all that into hot garlic bread and eating it like a sandwich!!

This looks great man!! Delicious! Good job!!
