My Weekend in Pictures

Hello dear friends.  This is a recap of our Labor Day weekend.  The weather was delightful.  On Saturday night we had a small dinner party.  We invited our sweet neighbors and a couple that we knew in The Woodlands, Tx who have moved back here.

The Mister had the menu written weeks in advance.  I asked him to write down what we had because I would not do it justice.

The Mister busily working on his mise en place.  

When cooking lobster, the Mister always puts it in a bag with a stick of butter and places it in warm water.  It's no wonder I can't fit into my mom jeans.

The Mister and his sous chef, Chili.  Her partner in crime, Chowdah, went to sleep over camp, for obvious behavioral reasons.  

We began withCharcuterie & Cheese 

and Pork & Veal Rillettes.

I was in charge of table settings, flowers, and clean up.  I'm exhausted.  I don't know how I do it. 

These hydrangeas are the last of the season.  I love when they turn green and purple.

The Mister prepared grilled filet with pumpkin and horseradish cream, asparagus, and mini lobster roll with fennel and green apple slaw.  

I bought about a dozen of these sweet little covered dishes about 10 years ago and the Mister loves using them in different ways.

For dessert, the Mister prepared mixed berry cobbler with pear and lemon marmalade.

The next day we headed for Scituate for lunch.  This is one of my favorite towns on the South Shore.

Is this not the cutest house?  It is planted smack dab in the middle of all the shops.

Joye is a darling shop.  I never walk out empty handed.

This cute cafe sells everything from coffee to oil paintings.

Do you remember me mentioning that I wanted to see this movie when it came out?  Well, I watched it while folding laundry On Demand.  Am I ever glad that we didn't spend money on a theater ticket!  It was not only dull but the ending was awful, at best.

The Mister and I went to see this one.  Robert Redford is an old boyfriend of mine in my dreams.  We loved this movie - Nick Nolte and my old beau had great comedic chemistry.  It may not be a commercial box office success, but it sure gave us a delightful two hours.

On Monday, we tried a new restaurant in Hull called Jakes.  The Mister had (what else?) his beloved fried clams.  I had a salad and the food and service were great.  We are definitely going back.  There was such a sweet breeze sitting on the water.  I wanted the day to last forever.

What a perfect way to end a wonderful weekend.  It was the cherry on the sundae of an exceptional summer.

Until next time...
