My View of Life on the Dock
This is my thai chicken wrap. I was disapointed. It was ddecent sized but the flavor was a bit bland. When I think Thai I want flavor. The Thai wrap at Au Bon Pan is fantastic. I may have been comparing it to the Au Bon Pan version but I was unimpressed. The salads I saw on other tables looked really fresh. I think I just ordered the wrong thing and would go back if I was in the area.

After going to BJs yesterday for diapers and wipes for Snoop Mad, we went to the Daily Harvest Cafe in Danvers next to where MVP sports used to be. The Mrs heard good things about it and had been wanting to try it. Here is her Reuben sandwich for $7.49 It was pretty good, the best part about it was that the bread held up as it was toasted and didnt get all soggy.

If you click the picture and select “all sizes” you can see any of the pictures here in full size and greater detail.
The deck at The Rudder is IMO the best places in town to bring guests for dinner on a warm summer night.

My buddy Toby brought this traditional Brazilian/Portuguese dish down the dock for lunch yesterday. He travels to New Bedford to get it because it’s that good.

After at least five desperate pleas The Mrs came through-
The Mrs’ Gorgonzola Stuffed Pears, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
From The Mrs-
Joe,
Pear recipe attached, please give credit to my friend the Barefoot Contessa.
3 ripe Anjou pears
Freshly squeezed lemon
3 ozs coarsely crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup walnut halves toasted and chopped
1/2 cup apple cider
3 tbsps port
1/3 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
Preheat oven to 375
Peel and slice pears lengthwise into halves. With a small sharp pearing knife, remove the core and seeds and make a round well in the center for the filling
Trim a small slice from the back of the pear so they will sit in the baking dish without tipping over. Toss the pears with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
Gently toss the blue cheese, cranberries, and walnuts in a small bowl. Divide the mixture among the pears mounding it on top of the indentation.
In the same small bowl, combine the apple cider, port and brown sugar stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture over and around the pears, basting occasionally with the cider mixture for 30 minutes or until the pears are tender.
We ate at The Mrs’ Aunts house in Stow. This is Peter Christmas’ turkey. Highlights of the day for food were Peter Christmas’ stuffing, my MIL’s Pecan Pie, and the Mrs’ stuffed pears.
If you took any pictures of your Thanksgiving meal send em in and I’ll post em.

Before any of you that have asked for the recipe get upset thinking that I’m ignoring your pleas for the Mrs’ recipes, I’m not. I’ve asked her ad naseum for them and she hasn’t come through. If she gets a few moments to forward them to me I’ll let y’all know.
