A Typical Night in Otisfield, Maine


We celebrated Jacob's 28th birthday in fine style on the screened-in porch. His everloving Mom made him his favorite pasta, fettucine in cream sauce with prosciutto and peas--a proven artery clogger. His sister provided the decorations including the traditional pinata filled with candy, always a hit with Steve. His father, known far and wide as the Grillmeister--cooked the lamb chops to perfection. And yours truly made the sides--chard from the garden sauteed with hot pepper, garlic and anchovies and spicy, Indian chick peas. And let's not forget dessert, a homemade blueberry shortcake that looked kind of weird but tasted just fine.

Ellen & Steve,

Turned on to your Blog by my Liz and enjoying it very much. Ellen, your writing style provides easy reading & pleasant listening. Felt like I was there.

Shall look forward to future musings.
