Seafood, Eat Food

We're back from a RI weekend. First we attended the food tasting for the wedding. It was quite elaborate & helped us make all of our final decisions. Tom met with the lighting designer. I was there too, but, really couldn't understand much of their lingo. The hotel is so excited about what Tom is planning that they asked if they can have a photographer come the day of the wedding to take pictures of the finished product. They'd like to use it in their brochure. Cool!
We ate so much, which always is the case when we go visit my family. Yes, I did eat things that I wasn't suppose to. I figured, what the hell? I can't eat most of this stuff for the next 6 months, so I'll slurge now. Actually, I was pretty good except with desserts at the tasting. I had to make sure they were adequate enough to serve to our guests. The seafood is so amazing in New England this time of the year. We had snail salad, steamers, quahogs, clam cakes & chowder. We finished it off with RI's famous Del's Lemonade. It's truly the best frozen variety out there. And it's only available from April thru September, which makes it more special.
We also visited my favorite restaurant/bar/jazz lounge/antique shop. It was a magical experience. So much so, that it deserves it's own post. I'll tell you all about it on Thursday.

A special thanks goes out to my cousin Lea & her husband David, for having us as house guests. We had lots of fun with you guys!

A restaurant/bar/jazz lounge/antique shop?!...can't wait to read THAT post. :) Sounds like you had a good time. And clearly, Tom must be planning something pretty special if the hotel wants to include it in their brochure. :)

I'm really looking forward to that post too. It seems you don't need to go anywhere else if you have a restaurant/bar/jazz lounge/antique shop. Sounds like heaven to me :o)

Dawn, you're going to marry a creative genius! And he's going to marry a creative genius! What a wonderful world! Can't wait for your next post. I love New England. We honeymooned half the time there and I wanted to move there, pronto (I seriously was looking for work in VT for weeks and weeks after we came home...obviously didn't pan out!). Glad you had a productive and yummy weekend with Tom!!
