Mosaic Monday

Hello! I hope you are well, I am trying to decompress after a very enjoyable vacation! Technically we are still on vacation, but I thought I would start to get back into the groove today! I have taken over 500 pictures the last couple of weeks - today's mosaic is just a small sample of them! Enjoy!!!



Have a great day and remember: Go Ahead & Indulge!

Thankful Thursday!

Hello! Sorry to be MIA, but I am on vacation! We are at our usual summer spot - Cape Cod! I am very thankful to be able to come to Cape Cod, it is my second home! Enjoy today's images!



From our house to the beach!


One of my spectacular dinners!



One of many local beaches!


Have a wonderful day!

Mosaic Monday

“A real friend is someone who takes a winter vacation on a sun-drenched beach and does not send a card.”
-Farmer’s Almanac

Hello! Today I want to share a mosaic of my home away from home: Cape Cod! I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as my family and I enjoy these spots in real life!

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”
-Mother Teresa



“Sponges grow in the ocean. That just 'gets' me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.”
-Stephen Wright quotes


Thought of the Day:

"In every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth."
-Rachel Carson

Have a great day and remember: Go Ahead & Indulge!

Wordless Wednesday!

Mangia Monday!

Hello!

I have returned from vacation and now I need a vacation from my vacation!

The piles of laundry are calling me and I am trying to ignore it!

No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one.
-Elbert Hubbard

While I was in Cape Cod my eating habits left much to be desired:
Isn't that what vacations are for?

I am happy to say that I am eager to get back to my normal diet, however, I did enjoy all the seafood I ingested!

Too much work, and no vacation,
Deserves at least a small libation.
So hail!
My friends, and raise your glasses,
Work's the curse of the drinking classes.
-Oscar Wilde


One of my favorite restaurants on the Cape is:


Brewster Fish House

If you ever get a chance to visit, I highly recommend it!

Our dinner on Thursday night consisted of:


* Prosecco, Zonin Brut (1 glass each)

* Baby Arugula and Red Endive Salad:
Seasonal Figs, Toasted Almonds, White Balsamic, Blackberry-Honey Vinaigrette

* ’07 Sauvignon Blanc, Charles Krug – Napa Valley (bottle)

* Grilled Native Lobster:
Tarragon Gnocchi, Summer Pole Beans, Sea Beans, Lemon Verbena Butter (ME)

* Sautéed Chatham Cod and Littlenecks
Yukon Gold Potatoes, Chorizo, Marinated Roasted Red Peppers, Garlic Braised Spinach, Parsley Pistou (DH)

* Brown Sugar Cake:
Peach Confit, Sugared Pecans, Sour Cream Ice Cream, Peach Caramel

* Lavender Almond Milk Flan
Summer Berries, Almond Crumble


While I am on the Cape, I like to splurge and enjoy a cup of Lobster Bisque, at least twice!

Lobster bisque is my FAVORITE food.
However, it is very fattening, so I stay away from it when I am in NY.




I would share my recipe, but it is a FAMILY SECRET!!!!


Have a great day!
