Add the flour to the butter and stir for 2 to 3 minutes to cook the roux. Stir constantly to avoid  
burning. Add the clam juice and stir until thickening begins. Add 1/4 cup milk, light cream and sherry.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  
Over medium heat, melt enough butter to lightly cover the bottom of a heavy, large sauté pan. Place  
the lobster, chives, pimentos and mushrooms in the pan and stir for 3 to 4 minutes.  
Increase the heat to high and add the sherry to deglaze the pan. Be careful as the sherry may flame up  
as the alcohol burns off.  
Stir in 4 ounces of Newburg Sauce and stir for 1 minute. Pour into a single serving casserole and  
sprinkle with the cheese.  
Bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.  
Serve immediately.
