grilled swordfish and swordfish belly, grilled clams, marinated tomatoes, pasta with raw tomato sauce, arugula salad

I am back on the Cape for the next 10 or so days. Yesterday we went to an old Wellfleet favorite and one I have already shown here, Winslows Tavern. I love sitting on their shady front terrace. We started with some broiled oysters. Pesto and tabasco lime butter nephew had a salad with gorgonzola dolce, hazelnuts, pears and apples we also ordered a tomato burrata salad to share and a pizza with figs and bacon jam crab cake sandwich softshell crab sandwich lobster risotto cake double chocolate mousse tiramisu We are not dining out today, I am grilling some swordfish. I'll put that on the dinner thread. Tomorrow we are going someplace new to us. Edited to add a photo of last night's sunset

flounder from my fish share in a crunchy crust with Major Grey's mango chutney, coconut rice, sugar snap peas in sesame oil, and a new to me summer squash I found at the farmer's market that I disliked but the teens enjoyed. Pretty basic as my niece and nephew are living with me this week and I would rather cook things they will eat to avoid "dinner drama"

I'm back! This is not the long report. We went for an impromptu weekend in Chatham. The long trip starts on Saturday. I was with a bigger group so missed a lot of photos I would have taken. We ate twice at Bistro on Main and I've got nothing from those meals. The house we rented for the weekend Impudent Oyster foods. chopped salad scallop roll turkey club with housemade chips burger fish sandwich fish tacos butterscotch sundae for the nephew coconut creme brûlée key lime cheesecake for the niece A breakfast at the Lazy Lobster. This breakfast took two hours. Annoying. chocolate chip pancakes for the nephew eggs benedict with spinach/tomato instead of Canadian bacon. Served with regrettable hash browns. This was mine and the eggs were overcooked :-( omelet with spinach mushrooms tomatoes and cheddar scrambled eggs with lobster

Last night's dinner: fried cod and baked chips with tomatoes. Homemade tartar sauce

Scallops grilled on a plancha on a salad of cherry tomatoes, over toasted Israeli couscous

egg, chicken sausage, and cheese on English muffin

Corn and cherry tomato tart. I am not a good crust maker as you can see. A slice with some eggplant fries and salad

Last night, a very large sandwich. It had roasted mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, eggs, bacon, provolone, and greens on a garlic foccacia This is a four-serving sandwich. Slice:

Last night: farfalle with raw tomato, garlic and basil sauce, and fresh mozzarella. Garlic toast.

Summer squash frittata and ripe tomato slices

Sandwich with the pickled eggplant from the "what are you preserving" thread, tomatoes, greens, and provolone cheese.

@Shelby I love silver queen corn and have not had it in years....people don't grow it around here anymore. Too bad, I love the not so sweet and crisp shatter of the small kernels of Silver Queen corn. Cedar planked bluefish (today's fish share offering), great local tomatoes, and local corn that I now wish was silver queen.

Tomatoes on toast

Big salad

Vegetable stew made with what I could salvage out of my fridge: a zucchini, some scallions, a couple of ears of corn and some cherry tomatoes, basil, some tomato puree from the freezer and a couple of poached eggs. The toast has garlic butter on it. I really need to go food shopping.

Another recipe from Made in India: Fresh spinach with paneer. Very tasty. I served it with some naan. No photo of that because it was just the store-bought stuff.

Last meal. Early lunch at Jasmine. Restaurant view Mahi sandwich with guacamole Bermuda codfish sandwich with curry sauce and avocado on hot cross bun The end

A morning spent hiking around and up to the top of a lighthouse earned us a nice lunch. Lighthouse view We walked over to a nearby hotel for lunch. The Reefs Drinks, because hiking earns drinks in my world Conch fritters Snapper sandwich Mahi tacos View from our table Dinner was a return to the Ocean Club Calamari Rockfish with banana Rockfish with lavender thyme lava salt Lobster Mini ice cream cones

Ha that happened to us too, in 2011 I think. We were the last plane to land before the storm caused the airport to close. It was wild when we got up the next morning: our room faced the harbor and it did not seem like anything was happening. Then we went to the ocean side of the hotel and the wind and waves were crazy! Luckily the storm blew out quickly and the rest of our vacation was lovely. Light photos from yesterday. We walked on the beach trail down to my favorite beach, Warwick Long Bay, with the intention of coming back up on the road and having lunch at the South Shore Swizzle Inn. Unfortunately we ended up walking in the wrong direction and ended up back at our resort haha. Grilled shrimp wrap from the Beach Cabana: Dinner was at the Waterlot Inn, one of the oldest restaurants on the island. It's been around in some form or another since 1610. We shared a tart made of local Bermuda onions for our starter. For mains I got the fish sampler, which was tuna, salmon, and grouper. My husband had a waygu steak. This is an a la carte restaurant so for sides we shared some sautéed spinach and truffled mac and cheese. Too full for dessert, though they did give us some chocolate covered sea salt caramels. They are in the fridge for later. Everything was tasty but don't go here if you are on a budget. The bill was punishingly expensive.

Yesterday breakfast was fruit and cottage cheese. Boring and no photo. Lunch was at the Cabana Grill, a wahoo sandwich on raisin bread with slaw and tartar sauce. Pretty decent, not as good as Art Mel's Spicy Dicy, but I am not getting over that way this trip. Pre-dinner snacks and drinks at the Dock at the Waterlot Inn. Cocktails are pricy at $16/each, but as you can tell from the photo they are large. Left is a Mango Lemon Press (Grey Goose, Malibu Mango, hand-pressed lemonade, fresh fruit) and right is a Burnt Jalepeno Margarita (Patron silver, charred jalepenos, crushed cucumbers, pressed lime) Nibbles plate of almonds, edamame, and olives. Nothing special Second cocktails are a Island Passion (kettle one citron, st. germaine, passion fruit falernum, orange, and pineapple) and a Molecular (grey goose citron, pomegranate cranberry, cointreau caviar) A flatbread with carmelized onion and goat cheese and some shrimp with brava sauce Live music and a nice sunset Dinner at the Newport Gastropub. They were out of everything we had planned to order. Oh well. A "plush ploughman" platter (prosciutto, gherkins, deviled eggs, pate, cheddar) and we shared a grouper sandwich Service is always harried here. It's probably my least favorite restaurant at the hotel, but fine for its purpose. Cup Match is over so we are venturing out to new places today

I am in Bermuda now for a short trip and thought I would add my dining experiences here. The island is very crowded right now for Cup Match and reservations are a little tricky to come by at the more popular places. I should have planned better in advance as we got shut out of a couple of favorites. I do have reservations for each night but may change them around depending on what opens up. We'll be staying at or close to our hotel until the Match is over because buses and taxis are hard to come by (everyone is at the Match haha), and I refuse to rent a scooter after being dumped off the back of one too many times by my Dad as a teenager. We arrived yesterday, and are staying at the Southampton Princess for its proximity to the South Shore beaches that I love. Late afternoon snack while waiting for our room to be ready: That's pimiento cheese, spinach artichoke dip, and hummus from the Jasmine Lounge on property. Dinner was at the Ocean Club, an outdoor restaurant that is also on property. Red snapper seveche Tuna tartare Local fish trio (wahoo, snapper, tuna) Snapper in banana leaf with Thai chili sauce complimentary key lime pie Restaurant view

20 minute fish curry from Made in India. It took longer than 20 minutes to do all of the chopping, slicing, cooking etc. The flavors were nice though. The fish was hake from my fish share.

fried chicken, mac and cheese, zucchini fritters, tomatoes
