ooooooooooooooooooo sounds yummy!!
This morning, I made potato salad, fried chicken and biscuits. I'm packing up half for my friend whose husband is in the hospital. The chicken turned out great - I used my grandma's old recipe. I'll post more later, and try to put up some pictures.
Just got back from the shore...water was 60 degrees but I managed to get in and go under twice!! Brrrrrrrrrr
Grilled portobello mushrooms with apricots and bleu cheese

the crust on your burger is a beautiful thing, peep.
after cutting and bundling the apple tree branches to allow more sun on the ool (anyone need applewood for smoking?) then cutting the lawn, helping the turks get a birds nest out of a bathroom vent, and officially opening said ool, i managed to go food shopping and make dinner. it was a good day, especially considering and i didn't have too many urges to drown any foreign kids.
meet my little friends, tonight's dinner:
the monsters enjoyed a hot bath with corn and baby redskins, while the clams bathed in butter, lemon, parsley, and garlic
e viola'. dinner is served:

You east coast/NE people make the boils and seafood dinners look so easy and delicious.
That doesn't happen in my neck of the woods.
Yeah... we had a gonzo potluck today.
I think I ate too much, but it hasn't bothered me at all so far.

sass, it is really easy. believe me, if it's difficult to cook, the only way i'm eating it is in a restaurant.
for the lobsters potatoes and corn, you put the potatoes in with the cold water, bring to a rolling boil, add the corn, return to rolling boil for just a minute, then in go the lobsters covered for 7 minutes for 1 1/2 pounders.
that's it! remove everything to platters with tongs, and nuke a stick of butter, and add some lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Tom, I have a very good friend who lives in Newport, RI.
Flew over to spend a week with her 2 years ago and she told me we were going to a lobster boil. Of course I had no idea what she was talking about, but it was great fun and a learning experience for this dingaling.
She then took me to Nordic Lodge
and several other places, one of which I cannot recall the name of.. but they had the best damned chowder I have ever eaten in my life.
No question I was impressed with NE restaurants, the environs AND the people.
The place I had the chowdahh was in Warwick!!!!
Come to think of it Warwick had a lot of nice places to eat.
Bertucci's was a skip across the parking lot from the hotel I stayed in the first night.
That brick oven pizza was the bomb.
All we can do is grill around here....and as long as the weather holds up, we can eat outside, otherwise we'll have to eat on the floor...no room left in the dining room..

Definitely my kinda meal. Great pics, as well, BT. I adore clams, but have never bought/prepped them at home. What kind of clams, etc.? Would you share your clam recipe? TIA.
Everyone's meals look lovely.

no problem, cc, and thanks. i'd be hesitant to even call it a recipe since it's so easy, but i'll write something up.
i made it with a little extra sauce to put over a side of pasta for my boy because he doesn't eat a lot of lobster (he just likes to play with them before they go for a swim), so you could really have just added pasta to the saute pan and you'd have linguini all vongole, or linguini with white clam sauce.
for this dish, i use either cherrystones or little necks. top necks and quahogs are just too big and get too chewy, and the bellies are too gooey. you could easily replace the clams with cockels or mussels (alive, alive oh) for a different twist. generally, i make a red sauce for the latter, though.
