Friday was a day to relax and then off to Belfast for dinner at the home of my dear, dear friend Harold Garde and his family. Suzette McAvoy joined us as well and after a dinner of Harold's famous meatloaf we all dug in to a piece of ultra rich chocolate layer cake from the Brown Bag in Rockland, courtesy of my mom. Thanks mom, the cake was delicious!
Saturday was a day to burn off a few of the celebratory calories, so Mary Ann and I took an early morning hike up the backside trail of Mt. Battie. Well, we made it safely up and back down and of course that earned us a little well deserved reward so it was off to breakfast at the Mariners Restaurant in Camden for hash, eggs and blueberry muffins (Mary Ann actual went for the much healthier, veggie omelet).
We wrapped up my break last night with a dinner at the Primo Bar joined by Tom O'Donovan of Harbor Square Gallery fame. Oysters, grilled veggies and a sausage bar pizza had to be topped off with a bowl of hot Zeppole tossed in cinnamon and sugar.
Do you see a pattern a pattern here? Well, this morning it's back to work. Got to get the Barnet publicity machine rolling. The 22nd is just around the corner.
