this recipe was dinner tonight. Pretty good. I nixed the parsnips and used green beans instead because I felt like it:

Mamma Maria's. Very good.
A classic. I have not eaten there in forever. I'll have to get back there.
I spent yesterday afternoon baking pizzas while listening to the Patriots on the radio. A pepperoni pizza for my nephew, made with a thick crust, extra cheese and extra pepperoni the way he likes it.
A carbonara pizza for my niece
And then seafood pizzas for the adults. A white clam pizza
A lobster pizza
And my favorite, a Nantucket bay scallop pizza. The scallop season has just started on Cape Cod, and they were so sweet!

I am back in Wellfleet for Columbus Day weekend. We actually have the house rented through a week from Monday, but have to go back home for a few days to work and attend a funeral. We are here through Monday, and then back again next Friday through next Monday. Next weekend is Oysterfest and always a lot of fun. I'll chronicle it here. We are having a pretty mellow weekend in anticipation of next weekend's craziness.
This is the porch of our rental house on Wellfleet harbor, where we eat many meals
The view from the table:
Yesterday it was just my niece, my husband and I, and we had lunch at Mac's Shack. My niece's poke salad:
My husband's lobster tostadas
And my flounder paillard

@Norm Matthews I think I made the same NYTimes chicken recipe as you the other night: the chicken provencal that is really popular right now? I liked it.
Last night I made tortilla soup and quesadillas

I made the Bisteca California with pepperonata and baked ricotta from Sunday Suppers at Lucques yesterday. The beef:
And with chicken for the non red meat eater (me, haha)
No photo of the baked ricotta but it was delicious. We ate it on crusty bread.

Soft boiled egg and toast soldiers. The soldiers were the last thing to cook in my Breville Smart Oven before it died. Unplugging it revealed a very corroded plug with slightly melted plastic on the plug end. I am not sure if the issue originated with the oven or with the outlet, but needless to say the electrician will be paying a visit tomorrow.

That does look wonderful. Is that a slick of yoghurt, I spot?
Definitely, one to bookmark. To my surprise, I can even get sumac on line here in China. A bit pricey, but hey it's only money!Yes, it is yogurt mixed with lemon zest, garlic and a little salt.
It is interesting to see how differently things are priced in different parts of the world. I bought my sumac (enough to fill a quart size jar) for $3 at a middle eastern grocery in town.

last night I grilled up a chicken recipe that is currently very popular on NY Times Cooking. This one:

The chicken
Plated with salad
Very tasty and easy. I'm adding it to the keeper file.

Last night's dinner was sandwich night. Option one was a riff on a grouper "reuben" I have on vacation sometimes, but of course I can't get grouper here. This was made with leftover haddock from the prior evening's fish tacos. It bears no resemblance to a real reuben, but it's tasty.
And option two was a seared salmon on ciabatta with avocado mashed with onions and a few other things and topped with bacon. I saw this idea in one of Ina Garten's cookbooks. All the components were good individually but for me personally they did not really go together in the sandwich.
Now I get to grill tonight's dinner in the pitch black. Summer is truly over.

That looks delicious. What's in the topping?
The salsa is mango, onion, kumato tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. There is also a lime flavored crema drizzled on top.

Soup & Salad.
Tomato soup.
EV olive oil, chopped-up onion, chopped-up celery, tomato flesh w/ juices, sea salt, water, fresh basil, simmer, break up w/ a stick blender, simmer.
Served w/ a generous dollop of basil pesto & basil sprigs.
That soup looks really delicious. I love tomato soup.
Last night was clean out the fridge sandwich night. For my husband, the leftover steak from Saturday with baby spinach, parmesan cheese, and truffle butter
For me, the Thai-flavored omelet banh mi sandwich from Andrea Ngyuen's book

Provincetown, the "Outer Cape," and Wellfleet Too
in New England: Dining
Posted
Here is my report of Wellfleet Oysterfest. First, we were all shocked to learn, two days before 'fest, that there was a norovirus outbreak in Wellfleet that was potentially caused by contamination of the shellfish beds in Wellfleet harbor, an unprecedented event. This led to the complete closure of all shellfisheries in Wellfleet. It was going to be an Oysterfest with no oysters! The organizers brought in oysters from other areas of the Cape, but made the decision to not have any raw shellfish served. So, this was very much a different Oysterfest than in prior years. I feel so badly for the shellfishermen in Wellfleet, as Oysterfest weekend accounts for a good chunk of their winter income. Anyway, on to some photos.
Day One, Saturday
Despite the lack of raw oysters, the festival was completely packed!
This photo was taken at around 11AM. As the day went on, it got more and more crowded, to the point that you could not get near the food tents. We ended up leaving earlier than planned due to the crowds.
Backside bakes quahog balls
Chequesett chocolate pot du creme
Clam cake from a stand I forget the name of
Offerings at Eat this Shellfish
Lemon sugar crepe from Cape Cod Cones
Banana nutella crepe from same
Clam and crab cakes from Harmons (our favorite of the day)
Tabasco-lime oysters from Winslows Tavern
Porky's Concessions, featuring the "BBQ Sundae" (we did not try)
Fried dough
and a sausage sub
The menu at Fairway's stall
Not food, but I thought I would show the necklace that my husband bought for me from one of the vendors. It is created from a c.1830 watch fob. It is lucky for his wallet that I don't like traditional jewelry, this is my style
No festival is complete without kettle corn
And of course I have to show you last night's sunset
with concurrent moon rise behind the dunes
