Hurricane Irene is bearing down on the east coast. I love being around water, but I do believe that hurricanes would make me very nervous. In 2008 Hurricane Ike came through southern Indiana. We missed two or three days of school, and many were without electricity for over a week. If that is what a hurricane can do for the Midwest, hold on East Coast!
This picture was taken in Boothbay, Maine. We stayed right on the water. It wasn't like Murder, She Wrote, but it was still fun. Everyone back here in Indiana asked if I enjoyed the lobster. I guess I should have tried it, but I never had a bite of lobster while I was there. Believe me, I had plenty of opportunities to eat lobster. Lobster rolls were more popular than hamburgers. One time I was in New Orleans and wasn't ready to eat all that spicy, fishy food. I ordered a steak. When it arrived at the table, I asked for a steak knife. It was late at night; therefore, I could hear the noise in the kitchen. I could hear drawers opening and shutting. Soon the waiter returned and apologized because the restaurant didn't have a steak knife. Now, if I'd asked for a crab breaker-thing, they could have brought out buckets of them. That experience should have taught me to eat the local cuisine, but I guess I'm a slow learner.
Batten down the hatches, folks.
Glad to see you are writing again. We have TRIED to eat the local cuisine, but it seems that some of the more exotic items are out of season. I'd like to try conch or lion fish. It has been awhile since I've eaten "American" food too and I am craving a fountain Coke and pizza!
