crazy weekend sans apples
We've been trying to figure out when to go to the Nashoba Valley Winery and go apple picking but this weekend is out, and so is next weekend, so hoping that we'll still have good pickings over Columbus Day.
We're highly popular this weekend, so popular that I've had to say no to some dinners that sound wonderful and to a Chowder Fest that someone I know has been key in planning. But it sounds great, so if you are up for some fresh cooked New England clam chowder, head over to the:
The Marina Bay Chowder Festival
2 Seaport Drive, Quincy
Sunday, Sept 26th 2-4pm
$10 donation for adults, Kids 12 and under free.
Entertainment is the Kadima Band and there will be clowns for the kiddies!
All proceeds go to Operation Mom, a military support group based out of California. One of the things that they do is send off care packages to soldiers overseas.
There will be more clam chowder than you can shake a stick at, with a competition between 12 restaurants: Alfredo's, Bare Foot Bob's, Fowler House Cafe, Jimbo's South, Joe's American Bar and Grill, Siro's, Outback Steakhouse, Skyline, Hingham Bay Club, Rick's Cafe, and two local nursing homes. There will also be a gift certificate raffle for various restaurant gift certificates.
So if you get a chance, check it out. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous and Marina Bay is a really beautiful place. My girlfriend bought a condo down there and believe me, I can't wait to go visit her again! Definitely a great place for an early fall afternoon. The views are breathtaking!

hmmm you could always check out different kinds of apples with a different growing season - we went picking at a place last year in late October and it was still all good - but there were different apples than in Sept.

This Chowder thing sounded so wonderful, and I wanted to do it, but I had to be in the office Sunday (Saturday too) :( Next time.
You and Joe should check out the food_porn group at livejournal.
