  1. @Smithy, Beachcomber is a classic restaurant for me.  I have probably been there 40 times!  I will confess that I prefer Winslow's.  :-)

     

    We tried again for Beachcomber today, but Hermine is now here on the Outer Cape, and the wind and waves were ferocious.  I have no photos of the ocean because there was so much sand violently blowing around and I was concerned that my lens would be damaged if I tried for a photo. The waves were HUGE.  We ended up having to leave because my niece was convinced the restaurant was going over the dune.  She was so scared she started to cry, so that was that.  We ended up back at Mac's Shack.

    Everyone has returned to the real world other than myself, my husband, and my nephew.  One more breakfast and then this food adventure is over until next month, when we are back for Columbus Day weekend and then the locally famous Wellfleet Oysterfest the following weekend.

  2. @Thanks for the Crepes thanks for the nice compliments on my photos!  I do enjoy taking pictures.  

     

    @Okanagancook yes, the whales were very close to the boat.  I also had a good position because we were the second group in line to board the boat, so that helped a lot.

     

    Yesterday we tried to revisit the Beachcomber, but no luck.  Their parking lot was full, as was the auxiliary lot that they shuttle people over from.  So, instead it was back to Winslow's Tavern.  We had some new items, but also some repeats.

     

    It was breezy, so some clam chowder was in order.  This one had grilled corn in it, which I enjoyed.

    We leave for home tomorrow morning, so I have just two more meals to share for this trip.

    Oh yes, I like PJ's a lot.  But Arnold's has my favorite stuffie :-)

     

    Whale watching off Provincetown today led to some good sightings.  Lots of humpbacks, minkies and fin whales.

    Time for a fire pit and s'mores.  Sounds like the end of the trip is going to get washed out by Hermine.  We'll stick it out anyway.

  4. We spent yesterday at Head of the Meadow beach in Truro

    I spied a food truck in the parking lot so went to investigate.  Tacos!

    I have more photos from yesterday but my internet is running very slow so will update more later.  We are going on a whale watch today and I am hoping for some good photos.  There are a lot of whales around.  We spotted at least seven from the beach at Race Point the other day.

    @liamsaunt  years ago when we were in P-town we used to get Portuguese sweet bread -NOT the bread I make but more like a sweet breakfast treat my MIL loved ........have you seen it or heard of it?

     

    Yes, that bread is available for sale in all of the stores out here.  I just posted a picture in the breakfast thread of a strata I made this morning using the bread.  There is a Portuguese bakery on the main drag in Provincetown that sells it in many different shapes.  The other stores typically have the english muffin shape and then just large loaves.

     

    One more picture, a late night snack I made using local clams: clams casino dip.  The recipe was in an Elin Hilderbrand book that I just finished reading.  Quite tasty.

    Cocktails.  The one in the back is a smoky mescal drink, and the one in the front has cranberries. I forget their names, sorry.

    Turkey burger with bacon jam and cheddar.  Roasted garlic aioli on the side for dipping the fries into.  That was mine.  I only ate half and I am still absurdly stuffed six hours later.  Something lighter tomorrow for sure.

    I bought 8 croissants, 4 blueberry danishes, 2 chocolate tarts, and a baguette.  I'll eat one croissant tomorrow. The rest will be eaten by the teens. Oh to have their metabolism.

     

    And of course tonight's sunset.

  9. So, I said we were going someplace new yesterday.  I lied.  It was back to some old favorites.  We had breakfast at the Fairway.  My nephew's boring pancakes

  10. 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

  11. 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"

  12. 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.
