Cape May N.J.

We our back from 5 relaxing days at the beach. Unpacked the car, started doing loads of laundry and couldn't wait to download my pictures from Cape May. I took this of Lucy and Scout minutes after we sadly drove away. We biked all over the place, took the dogs on long walks throughout town and along the beach and caught the sunset every evening.
Most of all we ate some super tasty food.
Lots of Italian...
A Camia: I ate a salad here that I will be dreaming of: baby arugula, pine nuts, roasted whole heads of garlic, giant chunks of shaved Parmesan and the lightest and most perfect lemon honey olive oil vinaigrette...yummy.

Fresco's: homemade pappardelle with shrimp and lobster Pescatore
Eggplant roulade, the bomb
Ken had Veal Saltimbuca, devoured it.

410 Bank Street: 25 years in business New Orleans/Caribbean style. Ken was loving his aged NY, we tried to get our waiter to tell us the secret ingredient in the sauce but no go, I think cherries.
I had a mouth watering grilled salmon with garlic mashers. How could I forget the $14.00 Lobster bisque!

My favorite was in Sea Isle: a boardwalk swirled, chocolate/vanilla, custard cone...wish I could have one now!
As you see we live to eat. Which brings me to the new fall menu that will be starting up next weekend. Get ready to dine Italian style. The menu is finished. I will try and get some of it posted for everyone to see. I'm very excited, new ingredients: quail, pomegranates, figs, arugula, lobster, squash, mushrooms, quince, truffles just to name a few. All the ingredients are in season for the months ahead. We are still trying to bring in more local. We will be featuring goat cheese from Cherry Glen Farms in Maryland and ice cream from Arlington Virginia, Sinplicity.

This weekend Dish will be participating in Tastes and Sounds of Shepherdstown. I am going to enter desserts which will be an assortment of petit fours. I will take pictures and report back the outcome.

Don't forget the farm dinner, it is right around the corner. Please, please, please come and support our cause....farm to table. Experience it and see what we are trying to accomplish. Bring all your friends, family, neighbors oh heck bring everyone and help us celebrate our 1 year anniversary and eat some mighty delicious food!
