Eastern epicurean extravaganza

In the summer, this typist put down the keyboard and escaped to Prince Edward Island to indulge in a memorable gastronomic extravaganza. In the starring role was the Atlantic Canadian lobster. They may look like insects, but crack one open and you have nectar of the gods.


And then there were the very succulent
Malpeque oysters, raw of course for the taste of the sea.



This Galician tapas treat
Pimientos de Padron also featured prominently. This is the dish famously drooled over by writer and foodie Calvin Trillin in Gourmet Magazine, November 1999. Eat your heart out, Calvin.

And finally dessert, the full moon rising through the grass of the Northumberland shore. There was no room for anything else.
