Relation-a-thon

Wife and I are on our whirlwind trip through the Mid-Atlantic and New England visiting members of our families. We arrived on Thu evening in Baltimore and met up with niece Styling with Renee Michelle and new husband The Physics Avatar. We went out for a lovely meal in Baltimore at Cingale, a restaurant recommended to us by niece X of the BCD girls.

Friday it was off to Taylor's Island Maryland where my Brother and Sister-in-law have just moved to their long-time dream home, Blackacre, a wonderfully designed home on the east shore of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. As I've mentioned more than once, eating, dining, cooking are mature parts of our family's culture. We went out Friday to nearby Easton, MD to Restaurant Local. My nieces are going to post their usual detailed and wonderfully photographed review and I will put in a link when it's up.

Saturday during the day we're off shopping for the dinner cooking festivities at "Kitchen Stadium". We're scheduled to make the following:

  • Fresh Oysters
  • Roasted Marrow Bones
  • Mini-Crab Cakes
  • Green Bean, Squash, and Roasted Pepper Salad
  • Boullabaise (Mediterranian Fish Stew)
  • Cheese
  • Fresh Fruit Granita
I've been taking pictures and will be making a full update of this extravaganza next post.

Ummm, roasted marrow bones? What the hell is that....other than exactly what it sounds like? The rest of the menu sounds tasty.

Happy to hear you made it out east without incident.

I'm glad lakeview coffe joe asked about the roasted marrow bones. I wasn't sure if I should admit to my food ignorance or not.

Sounds like you're having a great time. Can't wait to see the photos!

Post the pics please! it sounds like a lot of food but looking at the menu it seems like it was pretty light fare in general.

Thank you Stef - someone (not Wife) actually recognizes that we were somewhat restrained.

Lakeview, Terri - Pictures and descriptions of marrow bones and all else coming.
