The Lobster Festival starts today - the season for our district closed on May 31st so now everyone celebrates. Wayne has never been here for this event before so I think we may be going to consume too much lobster in the next 4 days.
Lunch - sublime! We went to the Parrot's Pins (yes, it still exists and will be staying for the foreseeable future - it's off the real estate market). The specials were Lobster bisque served with cheddar and chive biscuits, or Lobster and Fruit Salad or sandwich. We both had bisque, Wayne had salad and I had the sandwich version. The salad was lobster, baby spinach, oranges, grapefruit, cherry tomatoes with a limey mayo dressing. As a sandwich, it was sort of a tropical lobster roll using a delicious home made roll. Dessert was chocolate truffle cake.
Supper - ridiculous! We went to the Sandy Point Lighthouse/Community Centre for their creamed lobster dinner - creamed lobster on toast, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, coleslaw, fresh buns, butter, ice water, tea, coffee and a choice of lemon meringue, coconut cream, chocolate cream or pumpkin pie - $15 each. By the way, the lighthouse restoration is well underway - the concrete base is fully repaired and fund- raising for repainting and railing improvements is underway. Here's the lighthouse before the repairs started - note the crumbling base.
