Holly hosted our end-of-summer supper with a traditional New England Clambake! The theme was to include any kind of seasonal ingredients that would match well with the down-home boiled seafood pot! We had 2 wonderful guests, Cristy and Sarah to join the par-tay!
Our table was set out on Holly's deck, complete with lobster netting, beach pails, lobster lighting, and the most amazing home-made plastic "china" plates and nametags!
Our British guest, Sarah...who approved completely of the Pimm's Cup!!
The menu.
Crab, Corn and Tomato Salad with Lemon Basil Dressing Delicious!!! By Cristy, our guest!
Wine pairings for the appetizer and salad.
Me, with rosy red wine cheeks!!
Unfortunately, the rain began and turned into a downpour!! So, our al fresco dining experience was moved indoors...just in time for the lobsters!!
Simple Clambake: includes lobster, mussels, turkey sausage, clams, corn and potatoes! YUM!

Grande Finale: Apricot-Thyme Galette (however, Sarah used peaches instead of apricots!
After this wonderful "beachy" (and rainy) evening, I think we were all ready to say farewell to summer and welcome Fall! Thanks for a great night, girls!
