July, July, Will Summer Really Arrive?

Back into the daily groove, things feel good. We just might be past the season's unending, maddening rain, I'm thinking about a caprese salad of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil for Friday night. Here are the oysters we slurped up last week on Carteret Beach. Wow, I can still taste 'em!

Down the road looms a trip to the Jersey shore, which I am still confirming, but it would be a great story about visiting the classic beach town of Seaside Heights and the activities and highlights of the upper part of the shore, the part that doesn't get as much publicity as Long Beach Island and Atlantic City.

In the cafe, we've got a new bunch of videos playing on the display, fisherman in Carteret France, covering the infield at Fenway, and the market in Bricquebec. I enjoy having these slices of my travels be a part of the experience of the cafe, it adds to our travel cafe cred.
