Too many posts about food? Maybe, but we just made some tasty wraps! Kierstyn left me wandering around the produce section (never a good idea), and I found some neat ingredients -
- Wholly Guacamole Snack Sized Packs – it tastes great, has no lemon (hate lemon in Guacamole), keeps well, and are just right for squeezing on a wrap or two.
- Backyard Farms Tomatoes – found these at Walmart, not sure if they sell them everywhere, but they’re a little bigger than cherry tomatoes, and a little smaller than big ones. You can slice them like an orange, and pop them right in.
- Mission Sun Dried Tomato Wraps – found these in the bread section, I didn’t bother heating them.
- Kraft Sandwich Shop Chipotle Mayonaise – can’t wait to try this on something else. You probably don’t want to much of it though.
To make the wrap, use the above ingredients, plus some cheese (I used muenster), lunch meat (turkey), and a leaf of lettuce. If you got the Mission wraps, follow the instructions on the back for folding it. Start by folding the edges so they meet together in the middle. Then, roll it up from the short edge, so you have a shorter wrap. Slice it in half and eat it, maybe with some potato salad.
Freeport, ME
Chinese food isn’t Kierstyn’s favorite, but I love it, so she’s nice enough to go with me once in a while. While the China Rose isn’t as good as the Jade Palace in Farmington, ME, where I grew up, it’s still a great meal.
We both got Chicken Lo Mien (us both getting the same meal is more common than you might think). It doesn’t come with rice, egg roles, etc. – at least at dinner – but it’s a good portion so you won’t feel hungry (Kierstyn even had some to bring home).
My wife and I have a habit of eating all our meals out at McDonalds. Maybe because it’s within walking distance, and we like french fries. But since there are so many great (not McDonalds) restaurants along the coast in Maine, we’ve resolved to start trying a new place each week – and I’ll be documenting it here, for all the millions of readers who live in the state, and the few of you who visit.
Salt Bay Cafe – Damariscotta, ME
My family always visits here on their vacations, but Kierstyn and I hadn’t been in a while, and we felt like driving. They’ve got a great vegetarian menu (even if like me, you’re not vegetarian), and nice and relaxing atmosphere. I tried Crepes Florentine with spinach, mushrooms, peppers and onions. It came with soup, so I got their Gazpacho since I’d been meaning to try it since 3rd grade. It was okay, it sort of reminded me of chilled fresh salsa – I probably just don’t like Gazpacho. The Crepes Florentine were awesome though.
Kierstyn had a chicken salad sandwich with chicken and rice soup. She liked the sandwich, and loved the soup. We also got their Ice Cream Puff – balls of ice cream inside a pastry with hot fudge on top – really good. Kierstyn ate all the fudge off the top. With drinks it all came to less than $30.
Salt Bay Cafe – Very yummy, and definitely someplace you should try.
