Another Milestone

This weekend was Labor Day. It is a significant milestone in Maine as most of the tourists head home in a great evacuation. Our friends: Andrews, Tatums, Drivers, Feylers, and the Branns also bailed out. A few will be back briefly before the season is over. On Sunday we and the Andrews made a trip down to New Harbor to see the sights and perhaps visit George Gardner at the "Landry Cottage". It was the clearest day we have had. We drove around Long Cove Point, checked out the cottage and had lunch at Shaws. There is a shot of the Andrews and Durelle at Shaws, and there is a picture of the harbor. Note the absence of pleasure craft. It is a working harbor. The other two pictures show Belle immediately after she came home from being professionally groomed on Tuesday and a shot of our local lobster supplier, Walt, just out in front of the campground checking his traps. I wanted to include a great picture that Ann Dunn took of our group at the Frogmore Stew feed. For some reason it did not come through to the blog clearly. I'll try again later. Frogmore Stew is a low-country, cajun fish "boil" that includes sausage, red potatoes, corn on the cob and shrimp. I cooked up a batch for 22 people. I haven't yet sized the recipe properly for the number of people. We had a bunch of leftovers. Everyone enjoyed it. There was just too much food.
