3rd Annual Lobsterfest!

Last Friday, I hosted the 3rd Annual Lobsterfest at Crooked Path. It's gotten much easier to have larger dinners now that we have this totally awesome long table (yard sale find!) that lives on the side porch. I was also able to borrow Max and AB's 5 gallon pot and burner that allowed us to cook all of the lobsters at once so we could serve everyone at the same time. Lifesaver. We started the meal with a toast "To Lobsterfest!" and some strawberry infused vodka that I put together after a day of strawberry picking a few months ago. It was pretty tasty. Just as we were finishing up our dinner, the bugs decided to join us. We moved inside for some ice cream. Jay (who works at Ben and Jerry's) was nice enough to bring us 8 pints! It was a sweet way to end the evening. Thanks for coming everyone! I hope you had as much fun as I did. xoxo

2nd Annual, Lobsterfest.

Last night, a couple of us got together at the cabin to relax, swim and eat up some lobster! Maegen and Jay brought jalepeno poppers made with peppers from their garden. They were deathly hot and even got Marin's eyes watering! We were all able to sit outside comfortably, (note the new oak table I scored at a yard sale this weekend). Last year, we managed to fit around the table in the kitchen but, everyone needs a little extra room when there are shells to be cracked and lemons to be squeezed. After dinner we had some dessert. No one was tasked with bringing dessert parts but, somehow we ended up with: Maple Blondie and Vanilla Ben and Jerry's ice cream, 3 kinds of fudge (heath bar, key lime and tiger), chopped hazelnuts, sprinkles, whipped cream, hot fudge and warm cookies! No cherries though...
