Not me. They rented the place.
Yes, but we have been the recipients of your generosity over the past couple summers, which led us to decide to rent it for and entire week YAY. My weird nature fear didn't even really kick in! Except I would have weird fears falling asleep that a bear would get us. Oh! And we finally got down to the water! That was like the only thing we did not related to eating, sleeping, or drinking we did.
Oh! And we found the pie lady.
eta: Steph, You and the Boy should do that next year!
YES YOU SHOULD.
They really should!
What Pie Lady?
YAY Water!
I used to have Bear Dreams there too, even though I am pretty sure there are no bears there.
It's on the Other Side from the Rt. 15 road (something Cove Road?) She bakes pie at home and puts them in coolers on her front porch. You go up there, put the cash in the cooler, and take a pie! Brilliant. We had blueberry pie, with a couple slices still at home that I can hardly bear to eat because then they will be ALL GONE.
Mmm, pie and beer. Breakfast of champions!
We went to Lily's and the new Cockatoo restaurant (where the Goose Cove Lodge used to be)as well as the Maritime Cafe. We also bought a lobster and cooked it ourselves! I surprised myself by getting squeamish about it. When it went into the pot I had to run away till it stopped banging around.
Oh, Maine... how I miss summer there. We're hoping to get up to Vinalhaven next year, when my mother turns 75 and my uncle turns 80. My nieces and nephews just haven't had enough time with tide pools in their lives.
I put dinner in the crock pot this morning so that I don't have to go near the oven tonight, and now the whole apartment smells like garlic, shallots, and herbs. Yum!
sj, you're a genius! We have been trying to figure out what to do with an on-the-large side chicken (5lbs) that runs a little on the tough side (so we like to cook with a moist method) that would not get our house steaming hot in this steaming heat. I think breaking the bird down and doing some sort of slow cooker stew thing is the way to go!
d makes me blush. Thanks. Funny, they interview me at like hour 23 or so, and of course everyhing is packed. So I couldn't listen later on. Oh well, I'll dig thru the website and find the archive. I hope they edited out my ahs and ums. There were a lot.
