NE: steamed steamers and luscious lobsters
Our Michigan girls have come and left after an amazing week of visiting, shopping and eating . . . with their fill of scrumptious
New England seafood!
Our first meal at home consisted of jumbo shrimp, locally smoked salmon, and seafood salad for hors d'oeuvres, and then the famous native Stonington Sea Scallops for dinner!
Another meal at a local seafood shack brought steamers, lobster rolls, fish and chips and fried clams to our picnic table!
Our final indulgence back at home included whole lobsters and more steamers for the girls! Before they left for a pizza dinner with their aunt in the Boston area, they went to another seafood haunt in Mystic, famous for their whole bellied clams!
Of course *each* meal had its own complementary accoutrements such as native green beans, rice pilaf, coleslaw, Caesar Salad, gourmet cheese, my famous Deviled Eggs, a cold veggie platter, marinated artichoke hearts, hummus and desserts with an assortment of 5 gelato flavors topped with hot fudge sauce!
Our granddaughters have hearty mid-western appetites and I was thrilled to teach them how to disscect every inch of a lobster! LOL . . .
Happy Sliders Sunday everyone!
Bon Appétit
