one local summer week 9




This week three local meals. The first was boiled crabs and foccacia bread from the farmers market and clams that Joe dug. The second was crab cakes, corn from farmers market and salad from the back yard. The third will be tonight clams dug by Joe with corn from the farmers market, potatoes from Ward's berry farm where we went berry picking this week and local chorico. Clams, clams and more clams. I froze 2 batches of chowder base and 2 batches of broth yesterday and 7 large stuffed quahogs. All this from about 30 pounds of clams.I will be happy to see no seafood this week enough is enough. Saw food Inc. again this week preceded by a lot of local vendors and a great discussion period after. This was at Plymouth Plantation and was well attended.
