Fire Island: Part II

Just to recap: Threebs and Little Bird invited us to spend the weekend on Fire Island!!!



Meal Number Four: Saturday Evening Dinner
Conceived by:
Rajeev


I had planned to grill Portabella Mushroom burgers, but to our dismay we discovered that the grill was out of gas by Saturday night. Ever resourceful though a tad disappointed, we decided to just fry up the portabellas 'em. Threebs decided that ketchup was an unworthy condiment so whipped up some homemade aioli.




Which we ate with some oven-roasted potatoes (not shown) and, as an ode to my mother, some Panzanella.



I knew that I didn't want to bake at the beach, so for dessert I served ginger spiced cookies I had baked on Thursday night before we left.



Meal Number Five: Sunday Morning Breakfast
Conceived by:
Threebs

Threebs had planned a delicious breakfast plate for Sunday with some protein to counteract the carb-loaded meals in my repertoire. We woke up to enjoy dressed-up scrambled eggs served with a fire-y tomato chutney. OK, fine- we couldn't keep it completely carb-free: we had toast and some leftover potatoes, too.




Oh, yeah.... and that blueberry coffee cake I made. Whoops!



Meal Number Six: Sunday Lunch
Conceived by:
Threebs

Threebs made a delicious salad trio: Three bean salad, beat & mint, and tomato & peach. Unfortunately, we were too depressed about leaving Fire Island to remember to take pictures! So we ate as we cleaned, and soon enough we were on the ferry back to the main land.


A weekend with amazing food... not the main point of the weekend away, but definitely an added plus to spending quality time with people (and pets!) you love!!!
