Here’s a picture from Kristin Michel of the Plum Cove School Playground project that the Sig Hansen fund raiser helped pay for. Soon the playground equipment will be installed and the kids will be able to enjoy it for years to come.

This morning I was checking the web for pictures of other people’s lobster rolls to stack up against Mrs Captjoes’
What I found was shocking and disturbing. It seems these mooks up in Maine have found a way to fuck up ruin a perfectly good lobster roll. Listen to me, under no circumstances should the words lettuce, paprika, French baguette, or celery enter the equation when speaking about lobster roll preparation.
I ran across a blog from a nice fellow from Ohio, Curt who runs a great blog about grilling and bread- Bucky’s BBQ and Bread. He details on his blog his exploits in Maine trying to find the perfect lobster roll and comes up with four entries all of which have critical flaws in what they call a lobster roll.
Here is one of Bucky’s pictures-copyright 2008 Curt McAdams

Can you spot the how wrong this is????? Lettuce???? French Baguette??? What kind of pansy ass bullshit are those Mainer’s trying to pull off on their poor unsuspecting tourists that don’t know any better?
Thank you Curt for providing that photo as an example of what not to do to bastardize such a wonderful Northeast tradition as a lobster roll.
Take notes Son
For the proper way to prepare a lobster roll see this post–

Fiesta Saturday at Cape Ann Brewing, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
The brewery tours were pretty popular as when one would start a whole gaggle of folks headed into the back to get the first hand brewery experience.
Very laid back especially for being in the heart of the Fiesta.
You can see the round bulbous Rose Hips that will be left after the flowers are gone. Some people used to make Rose Hip Jam out of it.

One of my favorite parts of Fiesta is listening to the music with the family.
