Call Me, Miss Piggy

A year has passed and it was time to head back to one of my favorite places. Hog Island Oyster Farm! What can be better than fresh raw oysters, BBQ, happy people, and gorgeous scenery?? It’s been an annual trip for the last 3 years and the experience is different everytime. A must-see if you’ve never been.

50 unshucked Kumamotos.

My new favorite go-to appetizer—Smoked salmon w/homemade garlic aioli and pita crackers.

Skirt Steak, of course….and plenty more not captured.

And since that wasn’t enough, I had another awesome dinner tonight at Delfina.

Green Iced Tea with Lime and Mint.

Grilled Fresh Calamari with warm white bean salad (i need a sturdier hand for dim lighting). SOOOOO GOOD.

Insalata di Campo with bitter greens, pancetta, walnuts, Parmigiano and balsamic vinaigrette. Another good choice!

Tripe alla Fiorentina. Excellent especially with bread.

And as full as I was, I still managed to get Bi-Rite Ice Cream across the street. They had a flavor called, Ricanelas (cinnamon with snickerdoodles)!!!! How did I not know about this before?? Tasted like a mix between a snickerdoodle and a churro…with chunks of cookie dough.

Luckily, softball yesterday (2 innings worth ) worked me good that I am hurting twice as much as yesterday and will hurt three times as much tomorrow.
