What's on this weekend? Pork! Blueberry Grunt! Lobstah roll! Planked Halibut! East/West Breakfasts!

I've lapsed in my community grub scraping/reposting, I picked a good week to pick up the torch again!

Saturday morning, pick a side of the Lahave river and go git yerself some breakfast.  Saturday evening..I hope you like blueberries!

Sunday has a head to head seafood battle on the west side of the river.  I wish these folks would coordinate so they didn't schedule two awesome dinners at the same time.  Take your pick of a lobster roll supper or my perennial fave, the Conquerall Bank Planked Halibut Supper!  Check out my previous posts about the planked halibut supper if you are curious.

Have a great weekend one and all!

Got the blues?

Blueberries, to be exact...

If you happen to see old men and other random locals hanging about in ditches and elsewhere along the roads these days, don't worry! They're not disposing of evidence, they are picking blueberries:




Now, if only I could persuade one of them to let me take their picture....
