Weekending

by Rachel on May 14, 2012

This weekend, I:

:. Showed our house guests around our new town: ice cream, donuts, lobster rolls- oh my!

:. Had fries and fancy ketchup at Duck Fat.

:. Explored postcard-worthy Southern Maine: Cape Elizabeth, Kettle Cove, Two Lights Lobster Shack.

:. Took advantage of my first Mainer discount- 10% of lobster rolls until Memorial Day at Two Lights! Almost makes up for the moose on my drivers license!

:. Hit the jackpot at the public library. My only regret is that I can’t read slowly, faster.

:. Spent an afternoon drinking tea and reading.

:. Made flank steak with mushrooms for Sunday dinner.

How was your weekend?
