When I was a kid, our 4th of July recipes were pretty straightforward—mostly burgers and hot dogs. But now that my parents have moved to coastal Maine, the typical 4th of July fare has gone out the window. Goodbye hot dogs, hello lobster.

Although, really, when you think about it, even at $10 a pound, it's cheaper to make lobster at home than go out for a mediocre burger at Applebee's, and at those prices, you can afford to get a little reckless with your ingredients and try something new.
