"There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle -- will you come and join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?
"You can really have no notion how delightful it will be
When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea!"
But the snail replied "Too far, too far!" and gave a look askance --
Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance.
Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the dance.
Would not, could not, would not, could not, could not join the dance.
"What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied.
"There is another shore, you know, upon the other side.
The further off from England the nearer is to France --
Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance.
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you joint the dance?
Lobster-toasted Garlic Quesadillas with Brie Cheese, via epicurious.com
Ingredients:
2 (1 ½ -pound) lobsters, par-boiled and split in ½ lengthwise
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
8 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
12 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 ½ pounds brie, thinly sliced
Preparation
Preheat grill to high. Brush the cut side of the lobster with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the lobster on the grill, shell side down, and grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the meat from the lobster and coarsely chop.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a small saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the garlic and cook until lightly toasted.
Place 4 tortillas on a work surface and divide the half of the cheese, lobster, and garlic among the tortillas. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place another tortilla on top and then divide the remaining cheese, lobster, and garlic over top. Place the remaining tortillas on top to make 2-layer quesadillas. Brush tops of the tortillas with oil and then place the quesadillas on the grill, oiled side down. Grill until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadillas over, close the cover of the grill, and grill until the cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from grill and cut each quesadilla into quarters.
