Mrs. HB was in town visiting last week and since we live in Maine, she of course wanted to try all sorts of SEAFOOD! Mmmm Mmmm, my favorite.
Luckily though I did get to sneak in some pie and ice cream. ๐
The week started off great, I polished off the blueberry pie we picked up from The Village Ice Cream and Bakery in about 36 hours. The HH had 1 slice, I had 7.
Chicken salad with chopped pickles, apples and salad greens.
The night before Mrs. HB arrived, I made salmon. {What was I thinking!?}
While she was here we ate pickety bits…
Sticky buns from the Sheepscot General Store.
Greek yogurt, English muffins and a scone from Chase Farm Bakery.
Lobster rolls, fried scallops, fried zucchini and a grilled weenie with sauerkraut from Red’s {obviously I ate the grilled weenie and fried zucchini was mine}.
There was haddock tacos and oysters.
And the best toasted coconut ice cream on the planet earth {made by Gifford’s}.
We split a 7-Napkin Burger from the Owl’s Head General Store. {Excellent!}
And bought some rhubarb from a table along side the road {$3 a bundle}.
And stopped by Hedgerow for party supplies. {The key lime tart was the best I’ve ever had!}
Mrs. HB and the HH feasted on fresh lobster {while I waited for the dessert course}.
And then on her last day, we went to the Shuck Station Raw Bar for oysters.
And some other lovely raw seafood concoction.
The French fries with truffle oil were AWESOME.
It was a good visit. Mrs. HB ate seafood everyday, I taught her to hook, she made a boatload of garden markers and we worked in the garden.
How about YOU? How was YOUR food week?

I ever learned to eat seafood since both my parents are allergic to it but I do love fish. We tied a new recipe for tilapia that was simply fillets salted and topped with buttered Town House cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes and yum it was delicious. I put it on the menu again for this week!

OMG, I WANT THOSE TACOS WITH FRIES.
My husband was traveling last week. He is still gone. He just told me he’s not coming home till Friday at the earliest. I lost 2-3 lbs last week, because who has time to eat when you have a FT job, 2 kids at 2 different schools, and a dog to walk 2-4 times a day?? Not me.
So I ate a lot of overnight oats, salads, and leftovers. 2 nights of takeout with leftovers. This week: more leftovers, and probably Indian takeout on Weds. And by takeout, I mean delivery, because who has time to go pick that up? NOT ME.

Mrs HB says
We plan to!!!
