What are you memories of traditional family meals late in summer?
Huh.
Being Jamaican, we don't have those. Never really thought about food that way.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Crawfish? Crayfish? Crawdads? Tiny freshwater semi-lobsters that taste AWFUL. I let mom eat all my share. Bleah.

Late summer meals for us when I was a kid would be chilled shrimp. Big and fat and lots of 'em. Or cold chicken salad that my mom made by the vat.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fresh corn, for sure. Lobster rolls (not for me). Whatever meat/fish/chicken grilled on the back porch.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Dough boys, clam cakes, and chowder. And if I was lucky my grandfather would take me out for lobsters and make a pasta sauce with the leftovers.

Clam cakes! I have a wicked craving for clam cakes. I have to make them take me next time I go home.

Very happy to hear Grace's good news.
I did watch a bit of Ted Kennedy's funeral - the bit where the "youngests" in the family came up and read bits from his speeches (Prayers of the something?) - I liked that. Plus, it was interesting to see the young ones.
