Chowda on the Cape

It’s a beautiful morning as I sit looking out at the Atlantic.

I’ve already been out with the dogs who had a great walk along the beach, with a leisurely stroll back through town including a stop at the Wired Puppy, http://www.wiredpuppy.com/, for a cup of Joe for me, some biscuits for the two Labs, and to procure a cool baseball hat for a bit of added warmth.

The sun is shining but it’s still only in the early 50’s at best; although all in all a nice day for the Boston Marathon and the Patriot’s Day festivities-- of course, what’s not to enjoy, I mean, go to the tavern, grab a BEAH or two or three… and enjoy the day off!

We’re up in P-Town for a few days of R&R…

Last night we went to the Lobsta (ok- Lobster) Pot, http://www.ptownlobsterpot.com/, for some seafood after the drive up from Stamford. Since we’re off season, didn’t mind heading to a well-known touristy spot, especially one with Award Winning Chowda. We had a great meal.
Started with some excellent Bloody’s that had a good spicy kick, and included a celery stalk, green olive, lemon and lime wedge, and a zesty pepperoncini.

The Chowder was excellent, nice soft bites of clam and potato, tasty cream broth, the real McCoy.

Next came a mixed salad bowl with 4 delicious dressings, including a soy ginger and citrus mustard, and a bread basket with some nice dinner roles, and excellent pumpkin bread.
We passed on the lobster (a bit too tired to fuss), but had an excellent fried fisherman’s platter (clams, mussels, scallops, tuna and cod—all fresh), and then a spicy Thai bouillabaisse with a similar assortment of fish, embedded in a delicious noodle broth with cilantro and fresh chili.

We were too tired for dessert, but the hot brownie sundaes looked excellent.

Plan to take advantage of today’s good weather to do some bike riding, beachcombing and more good eating!
