Summer is here! Well almost, but in a few days the longest day of the year will officially be the start of a long-awaited summer here in New England. Today is National Lobster Day, so it’s fitting I post the first of many reviews on my favorite lobster rolls.
I’m from the south, and although they have their barbecue sandwich, a staple growing up, we have our lobster rolls here in New England that I love. Clam shacks are opening for the season serving up fresh lobster rolls with the smell of saltwater nearby. It can also be fun to do it yourself.
I owe one of my favorite meal ideas to a popular fast food chain. I remember back in college in the 80’s when Taco Bell was a novelty, and a bunch of us would pack up in the car to make the trek.
Sure, Valentine’s Day may be for lovers to go that extra mile, but it’s also for eaters who want that extra decadence. I usually make a nice meal at home because going out can be frustrating, crowded, and expensive.
The first week of the new year has come and gone, and I promised myself I would take the week in stride and try not to get anxious about how much needs to get done.
It’s almost New Year’s Eve, but I’ve been thinking about the holiday season…when I was younger. Thanksgiving was just a few short weeks ago, but it was always my dad’s day to shine.
