"Honey, We're the Weird Ones"

If you read my previous post, you know I brought Fiddlestix food to Maine with me.  We bought ALMOST NOTHING at the local grocer and stopped outside our cottage area to buy fresh raspberries & blueberries.  

How's the food???  FABULOUS!  Just like home:):)

Sunday:  a quiet day at the cottage resting up from a busy conference in Atlanta and a very late night of travel.  Veggie hash with eggs as local as I could find:

Monday:

Hike...

Followed by a well-deserved kale salad:

Tuesday was a rainy morning so I popped this guy in the oven with all the veggies from the farm.  Oh, where are the other 12 mouths I usually feed?  This could last us the rest of the trip!!

Weather cleared up after lunch so we went on a 6&1/2 mile walk around a beautiful lake:

We worked up an appetite for pizza using the last of the tomatoes:(

Breakfast was kale and eggs:

We had a great scenic drive with a few hours of hiking to break it up.  Beautiful scenery all day!!

Yes, I packed a lunch:):)

Beet pizza for dinner tonight:

Tomorrow is our last day here so we will be cleaning out the fridge & packing.  I may have been over-zealous when packing the coolers in my Omaha kitchen.  We have eaten some of everything I bought, but my eyes were bigger than our stomachs.  The woman who owns the cottage lives just down the lane and her garden is WAY behind ours (flowers on plants but no veggies yet) so I will leave her my extras.

Here's how we ended every day:

Joel's new invention.  S'mores with an added layer of fresh raspberries and/or blueberries.  He's a genius!!

On our various ventures this week, we would come across long lines at a burger truck, or full waiting area of a restaraunt.  I exclaimed today, "Isn't is SO weird how people come on vacation and eat out every meal?  I mean not just eat or once...eat out the WHOLE TIME they are vacationing."

He took the portable cooler off my shoulder...yes, it contained all the fixings for our chicken sandwiches in the park....and lovingly said, "Honey, I'm pretty sure we're the weird ones."

I just don't see it.
