weekend road trip
We spent the day yesterday exploring Westport and little compton. We had a great breakfast/lunch. of Portuguese breakfast sandwiches with linguica and potatoes and egg. We went to Grays general store in adamsville for jonny cake meal. The owner gave us some great tips on places to check out. We also drove along the shore road in Newport. I saw gates to a great farm doing work with heritage breeds, I will have to find out more about this for a later trip.We were going to try the Salvation cafe in Newport for dinner who uses a lot of locally sourced food but they did not open till 5pm and I was to hungry to wait so we headed home and stopped at a small family restaurant for dinner.I had a burger I would guess not local and Joe had seafood probably at least 1/2 local. All in all a great day stopped at a few farms, bought pumpkins, gourds,brussell sprouts, plums,onions,and Narragansett creamery cows milk feta(it is great).A beautiful fall day in New England.Today we had heuvos rancharos for brunch local eggs on homeade corn tortillas with homead salsa. The masa was not local. Dinner is homeade stuffed quahogs (clams dug by Joe) with local corn and coleslaw.
