Eliot and Christina drove down to Hammonasset for a beach day and met AJ and I at the Place for dinner. For me it’s the greatest summer restaurant. I picked out a large wide stump and wheeled it over to our table. I’m a little thick around the middle. The four of us split four sweet buttery ears of grilled corn and two dozen grilled clams with hot horse radish BBQ sauce to start. It was a clammy day- I ate white clam pizza at Pepe’s earlier for lunch.
For dinner we got a smoky, tender two pound roasted lobster, lemony, peppery bluefish (my favorite) a dozen snappy steamed shrimp, and two vegetable kabobs for health. Dessert was coffee, tart key lime pie with heart stopping crumbly crust and the peanut buttery peanut butter mud bomb, sliding down our gullets as the sun slipped away from friends and family, rumps on stumps, around the red tables with flower vases and the fiery grill of the Place.
arf – this might break Peter’s heart. Take a day of vegan eating tomorrow!
