So I am getting ready to head back to lovely Boston and leave the "beach house" after four wonderful and peaceful days. But since this is about food I won't talk about the amazing views, the beautiful beaches and the warm water (I know! Who knew there could be warm ocean water in New England?).
Yesterday, Meggers, my co-contributor, joined me up here to see the town and eat a lobster roll. We went back to the same seaside shack (in the rain) that I went to the other night. I will say the Saturday Lobster Roll was better than the Thursday Lobster Roll. It stayed together better and Meggers pointed out the little cardboard carton it came in (to keep it upright) didn't have an end which meant you could eat while still in the cardboard holder. Technology, folks...it's amazing.
That did make it easier to eat and less drippy. But I do think today's batch was just less drippy than Thursdays. We also got lemonade (I will let Meggers talk about it), fried clam strips and fries. I will say the fries were not as good today but the clam strips....yummy. I mean, they were fried so you can't go wrong.
We finished our dinner off with a lovely mini-blueberry pie that Meggers bought at a farmer's market earlier in the day. It was very good. The crust was just buttery enough and the blueberries were just sweet enough.
All of this with good company and a Project Runway marathon made for a great Saturday night.
Don't worry we obviously discussed our food while we ate it. I am looking forward to Meggers post for a little compare/contrast.
As I wrap this up and wrap up my weekend, it seems the clouds (and thunder) are rolling in and that the rain is coming. I guess that means it's time to pack up from my "staycation" and head back to the city and the real world. Sigh....

The place we went to on Saturday is called Lime Ricky's. It is in Swapscott near the Nahant and Lynn borders. I went to The Barking Crab (near the children's museum) on Sunday afternoon where my friend ordered a lobster roll, so I have some compare/contrast notes: 1) the BC lobster roll came in a foot long bun. I believe that this provides more room in which to place the lobster so that it is not so messy. 2) the BC lobster roll had bite size lobster pieces. It's commendable that Lime Ricky's maintains the integrity of the lobster by not cutting it up too much nor over dressing it and it is clearly NOT mixed with any crab meat. BUT smaller pieces would help the messiness factor.
As for the lemonade... I believe that it was half fresh/half lemonade mix. I *prefer* completely fresh with pulp and all but this was extremely satisfying at the time.
Also worth noting is the Harpoon Root Beer I had at the BC. Local. Not too sugary. Yum.
