Batson River Fish Camp

.

After another week of unsatisfactory carpet shopping I had to throw the husband a bone so we headed for the coast.

.

.

Wells is probably the longest stretch of sandy beach in Maine and is overwhelmed with tourists in the summer.

.

.

But on the off season it’s quiet, which is how we like it.

After a stroll, we headed for beer.

.

.

And while we’ve visited other Batson locations, this was our first trip to the laid back Fish Camp version.

.

.

It was more casual than their other locations.

.

.

With an attractive fishing vibe.

.

.

A few raspberry lime sours in…

.

.

I opted for the duck fat cornbread with maple honey bourbon butter.

.

.

Ooh la la! Sheer perfection.

.

.

As was the digital fireplace that didn’t trigger my hot flashes.

.

.

Not sure what they put on top of this outdoor table to hold down the cover…but it looked like a giant wine cork to me.

😉

.

Can you see him?

.

No, it hasn’t snowed again… but I realized I forgot to post these photos after our last storm so bear with me.

Can you see him?

.

.

How about now?

.

.

That’s our resident Coopers Hawk sitting in the apple tree waiting for lunch to fly by.

.

.

The speed at which he snatched a dove out of the air astounded me … as I had my phone camera pointed right at him when it happened and still didn’t manage to catch the shot.

.

.

Here’s a blurry pic of him sitting on top of his lunch for a split second before he flew away to eat in peace.

.

Miscellaneous nonsense.

.

I don’t know why, but it seems my pickle algorithms have been reactivated.

.

.

Ugh.

Keep your briny spears out of my bread!

.

.

Someone bought this at Goodwill and while I thought it must have been a joke, turns out it wasn’t. The horror really exists.

“Yes, Vlasic and the candle brand Candier have partnered on a 100-percent wax candle that looks like a real jar of Vlasic Original Dill Wholes and smells, well, like a real jar of Vlasic Original Dill Wholes. “It was a no-brainer for us,” 

🤢

.

.

Because some of you are going to be covered in crunchy protein very soon.

Bon appetit!

.

.

I have a jade plant that is now covered in white spots. They’re not bugs or moldy powder that can be wiped off, but are imbedded in the leaves themselves. Anyone have a clue what’s going on?

.

.

It seems my husband chose well when purchasing our new toaster.

🤣

.

Zeppelin greenery and superhero corn.

.

I’m pretty sure this first photo is AI generated, but I admit it made me smile.

.

.

Rock on philodendron Robert.

.

.

Adamantium corn skewers.

Need I say more?

.

.

I had a good laugh at this article because it would totally be something I’d do. Mystery solved why the poor little thing wouldn’t eat.

.

.

I saw this diabetic coma inducing treat on the menu when we went out to lunch the other day. Talk about overkill…

.

.

It would be worth making these just to be able to answer the question “ What are you bringing to the potluck?” with… Moose Farts, but I’ll leave it to the more adventurous cooks amongst us. (Please note that’s not the full recipe. Don’t make farts and blame me when they fall apart)
