Well, another weekend has come and gone and you guessed it? There was no eating in or home cooked meals. My wife has been on a Lobster Roll frenzy and she recently saw VB from the Fox morning show munching on a lobster roll at the Clam Box. The result was a road trip to Ipswich, MA to try one. When we arrived there was a long line out the door as we have heard is commonplace. We viewed the menu and she decided on a lobster roll and I went with the fried shrimp. After much debate we added an order of onion rings. I thought that would be the end but I had to try some of the clams after all the reviews that I read on the wall at the Clam Box. I've never been a huge fan of fried clams but I decided to give them a try. We sat down to a feast and it was some of the best food we have ever tasted. The lobster roll was delicious with large chunks and just the right amount of mayonaise. The clam strips were perfect and I might even try the whole ones the next time. Needless to say, there will be many more trips to Ipswich in our future.
It's been awhile since I've posted and for good reason. The holidays were very busy this year with the typical craziness and hair pulling that goes along with trying to buy my wife gifts. Needless to say, 90% of what I buy gets returned and I spend a couple of more months making up for the my poor decisions. Of course this has nothing to do with food but it answers the question of the lack of posts for awhile. And we have the typical discussions about moving to someplace warm after another frigid New Hampshire day. But the conversations always go back to food and especially ice cream. It is almost impossible to find good ice cream during the winter months and we dream about our favorite places and visiting for the first time. Needless to say my wife's mother loves Ice Cream as well and we received a call today that Hayward's Ice Cream in Nashua, NH would be opening on February 17th... Stop the presses, the drought will soon be over.
