Champagne to Weather an Epic Snowstorm

We are not complaining at all about the so called lack of the epic storm that was supposed to arrive on Monday evening until Tuesday. Yes, we did lose our Internet connection that meant that our phone and television were quiet all day, but we did have power. Not only that, on Sunday, our hunter and his friend, Beau from Cape Code brought for us 2 lobsters and 3 dozen oysters. Beau is somewhat of a celebrity, having shown Anthony Bourdain how to fish on a blustery day:

Since we had power on Monday night, we thought we would make Ina Garten's Lobster Mac and Cheese and paired it with Duval Leroy champagne.

This mac and cheese is not too cheesey so it can almost pass for a healthy mac and cheese. We thought that we could put more lobster in the dish and it could also stand to have scallops and shrimp and some herbs, but then it wouldn't be lobster mac and cheese.
On Tuesday morning, we looked out and saw that the snowfall seemed to be less than what was anticipated, but the snowfall didn't subside but kept on throughout the day. We fueled ourselves with the leftover lobster mac and cheese and took a peak outside to see the extent of the snowfall. Luckily for us, our neighbor had gone down our sidewalk with his snow blower and what remained for us to do was to dig our cars out of our driveway.
