to Brunswick, also visiting in and around Lewiston. Beautiful views. Lilacs and kayaks. Great food. Lewiston has a terrific bakery, Grants, which makes wonderful cookies and pies. Had breakfast at the Nezincot Farm, in nearby...

the sea — and all of the tourists beat me to it! (I suppose I could take all-from-scratch to the next level, hop in my kayak and catch some fish with my bare hands :) Instead, I’m going to make all of my salsas and...

cold butter cubes on top of apples. 3. After rewarming pastry to room temperature, cover apples with top crust, crimp and flute the edges. Be sure to cut vents in the top crust to let out steam. 4. Put a cookie sheet on the rack...

sparkling Pinot/Chards...I got so hooked on them while climbing and kayaking in Tasmania...the best dairy, mushrooms and carrots I’ve ever had in my life!

realized that if I hadn’t been thinking so hard about it, I’d easily have put away a piece of quiche, bagel with cream cheese, veggies with dip, cookies and a piece of cake. When you can’t eat dairy or anything...

Crawfish is pretty much spot on. I’ve lived in both the midcoast area and downeast and our favorite lobster pound is Tidal Falls in Han. If you plan on seeing Acadia Nat’l Park, it is a short detour. Watch a reversing...

Well what was planned got canceled, plans with Dad got cancelled, kayaking got canceled (ill friend) so all plans off. Creative night I guess, have leftover shrimp, fish, scallops, chicken, pork, asparagus, some pasta, some rice,...

i like the kayak kolsch at ngon in the summertime. talk about a refreshing, easy session beer. if you hit ngon you can also check out the gloriously dingy but vibrant frogtown (vietnamese/hmong area along university ave), and...

Hey, Texana, don’t knock it 'til ya try it. From what part of a pig does the ham come? It is considered repulsive by millions of muslims and jews. Food is all in the head. I’ve gotta go be a sea kayak guide now, I...

I’m not really a Marxist either, but I appreciate your sentiments. I can get a wonderful pistachio macaron for $1, an amazing peanut butter cookie for $1.25, nice loaf of bread for $2. For me, the joy is compounded by the...
