Escaping to the Shore

So glad that we didn’t listen to the forecast as it turned out to be a beautiful weekend at the shore. Yes last night the house shook & the streets flooded but today? Perfection!

So, while Jacob explores São Paulo with his CISV Interchange delegation, we made the most of our time as empty nesters & turned our weekend at the shore into a mini vaca. First, we hit Randall’s Seafood in Pleasantville, NJ for fresh from the ocean clams.

Then it was lobsters from the Asian market where we love to go for fish & all kinds of unusual cuts of meat.

While Phil steamed the clams (in onions & garlic) & grilled the lobsters, I seasoned the potatoes which I then cooked in the same water as the corn. We then threw all on the grill for a bit of char. We also grilled romaine, a little trick I picked up at Catch Bar & Grill in Longport.

Finally, tomatoes with fresh mozzarella & basil sprinkled with olive oil, salt & pepper. Oh & rosé because one cannot live on food alone ?
