Random food related nonsense.

.

Because I like to share tasty recipes.

.

.

This one is quick, easy and delicious. Use fresh ginger and fresh lemons for juice and zest… you won’t be disappointed. I used chicken tenderloins because I didn’t have breasts and served it on a bed of jasmine rice with fresh steamed green beans. Yum!

.

.

Being a born and bred Yankee I’d never heard of this.

.

.

And while I don’t drink soda very often, I admit I was intrigued.

.

.

A steep price to pay for a six pack, but curiosity got the better of me.

.

.

As did the Amazon seller who bought a local 12 pack out west and cut it in half for the idiot New Englander who was willing to overpay.

🥴

And while I’ll probably never buy another one, I did like the flavor. Not overly sweet with a nice pineapple tang. Guilty confession? My first thought was… add some vodka for a nice summer cooler.

.

.

I don’t know why, but I’m always searching for meatloaf variations. It’s a humble but satisfying meal if done correctly and this one sounded interesting.

.

.

While it was tasty, if I make it again I’d ditch the crock pot and just bake it instead. Way too difficult to remove once it was cooked.

.

A garage no more.

.

Have you ever eaten in a garage?

I mean an honest to goodness previously grease stained filling station?

.

.

Thankfully the grease and transmissions are gone and a Wiscasset, Maine landmark restaurant once known as Le Garage (clever, no?) is now Water Street Kitchen and Bar.

.

.

It’s a great place to drop in for a craft cocktail…

.

.

Fresh basil limeade with Tito’s please.

.

.

A cream of asparagus soup for the spouse…

.

.

And some spicy Cajun shrimp for me to start.

.

.

Never let it be said their bartenders don’t go the extra mile for top shelf.

🤣

We were happily drinking and schmoozing so I didn’t photograph our entrees, but dessert was a delight.

.

.

Creamy limoncello cake for the win.

.

.

On the way home?

.

.

We marveled at the tourists who don’t know any better and wait on endless lines in the heat at Red’s Eats.

.

.

Their lobster is frozen and comes from Canada.

No self respecting Mainer would be caught dead there.
