On the water

Days like these are going to make leaving Maine really difficult. I can't tell you how fabulous the Regatta was this year...the weather was perfect: the sky was clear, the sun was out and there was just enough of a breeze to keep us from baking. There's really no way you can beat a sunny day on the water with a beer and some snacks.

Garden Fresh

Mmmm
Nothing like veggies straight out of the garden!

I almost forgot how good it feels to cook your own food. I've been so busy getting together a portfolio and organizing bank accounts and checking out caterers that I haven't had time to enjoy some of my favorite things! I keep thinking that I'm missing out on hiking and biking, but I've forgotten about the simple things like cooking.

This weekend Joe and I picked blueberries in the park and made asparagus pizza, blueberry pancakes, grilled shrimp with a grilled veggie and feta salad (obviously not all in the same day), and I just pulled a blueberry coffee cake out of the oven! Yummm!

Happy Fourth of July!

I hope everyone had a fabulous fourth of July! I had to work on the official holiday, but was able to sneak out in time to catch the fireworks. We had arguably the best seat in the house, on top of our friends photo shack on the town pier. I've never been that close to a fireworks display before and it was actually a bit intense. You could feel the mortars shake the dock and if the wind hadn't been blowing away from us, I might have felt the need to duck and cover!
