Rock(ing) Lobster
There are few things that scream New England more than the ubiquitous lobster, but since I'm afraid a lobster may actually scream, I have never brought one home to cook for dinner.

If you're like me, go a different route and bring home this adorable Wooden Lobster Pull Toy which promises to delight your kids or weekend hosts. I love the smile-inducing clickity-clack the kid-friendly claws make as the toy is pulled across the floor.

Handmade by the family team of East Laurel Woodcrafts in land-locked Kentucky, even this born and raised Massachusetts mama will assert it is one cool-looking lobster. I especially appreciate that they left the local-to-Kentucky hardwoods natural since those of us in the know realize a red lobster has been cooked. That would be like making a cow toy that looks like a hamburger, right?  -Christina
