A while back I mentioned Alexander Thompson’s delicious tomato marmalade (I mentioned it here and here). It might sound unexpected (I had never heard of tomato marmalade before), but tomatos are fruit, and Alexander’s recipe really works. They served it at the opening of The Cave with cheese and crackers, which was a great combination, but it’s also good on plain old toast for breakfast!
I put it on whole wheat toast with a glass of orange juice. Just a part of this nutritious breakfast!
You can buy it on line or, today, at the Thursday Cape Ann Farmers’ Market at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, 3-6PM under the blue tent.
He also makes the most addicting bread & butter pickles… also available on line and at the Farmer’s Market.
So you know when you have that brief moment of weakness and you’re hungry and you know you just gotta eat something but it’s not breakfast, lunch or dinner time?
You face decisions all day every day about what you’re gonna eat.
I’m not trying to preach here, just offer what has been working for me to keep my diet clean.
Pickles.
Loaded with flavor. When refrigerated have a nice snap to them. Zero Calories. So instead of grabbing the bag of chips, or the candy bar- pickles.
Disclaimer: I may turn green eating so many pickles as my cravings tend to perk up every second I sit down. Now I know how EJ feels about carrots.
I got the industrial sized jar at Costco. There might be a hundred spears in there.
It all started out innocently enough. It seemed reasonable when you quickly scanned over Granny’s ingredient list and hey, I can even let a lobster roll that has celery in it ride without calling them out but there it was, looming. The devil in the details-
Ingredients
4 1¼-pound lobsters, steamed
1 c. mayonnaise
½ c. pickles, diced small
½ c. celery, diced small
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. celery salt
2 tbsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. white pepper
6 tbsp. butter
8 hot dog buns
She was doing so well.
But then the train veers off the tracks
Celery, lemon both no-nos, but the issue which is unforgivable here is glaring- the addition of goddamn pickles to a lobster roll.
Unforgivable.
Once again I will refer to a simply acronym which tells it all- KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid
There is no need to get all crazy just to be different. You can understand how some bananahead out in California could make this kind of mistake. But someone from the Northeast?
For shame!
At least it’s not as bad as last week’s debacle from the broads in California who tried to pass off a lobster roll using frozen lobster meat, celery, onions, lemon and jalefuckingpenos.
Or Bucky From Ohio who details a lobster roll made on a French baguette.
Granny must think she has Tiger Blood ala Charlie Sheen if she thinks sneaking such ridiculous ingredients like pickles into a lobster roll is gonna go unnoticed.
Not Here- Not Now Granny. It’s Lobster Roll Eatin’ Season and We Ain’t Gonna Let You Lead These Poor Unsuspecting Folks Down A Lobster Roll Road Paved With Pickles Of All Things!
Here’s how to do it Grannycakes
