  • Paddleboard Dogs Say, “Home, James!”

    CHE_9807 - Version 22013-09-08-dogs-paddle-boards-provencetown-harbor-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    One of the great joys of being in Provincetown is seeing dogs enjoying quality time with their people. We love sitting on the deck watching the parade of dogs on the harbor beach and on the water.

    We’ve often seen dogs in inflatables and kayaks, but this was our first time spotting dogs posed proudly on stand up paddleboards. These four were moving at high speed as you can see from the wakes the boards where kicking up.

  • Cooking in Vacation Rentals: The Tool Roll

    DSC_8858 - Version 22012-09-27-seasonings-travel-kit-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Over the years, our seaside vacations have presented the opportunity to try my skills at cooking in a variety of kitchens. They have ranged from a tiny efficiency with a two burner and a mini-refrigerator on one side of the living room, to an enormous, isolated space designed to be used by the servants in an old Arts and Crafts bungalow we rented in Edgartown, MA.

    This is the time of year when we begin to think summer excursions, looking at apartments and houses, and deciding where I will cook this year. It also seems like a good time to begin sharing our tips on cooking in a vacation rental.

    DSC_8439 - Version 22012-09-24-picnic-knife-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Of course, I pack my knives – an 8-Inch Chef's Knife and an Opinel French Picnic Knife. I’m teased because I bring my own knives when I go to a friend's house for a potluck dinner. If you cook seriously, your knives are extensions of your hands and it could be dangerous to use the dull ones you find in most kitchens. 

    If you want to pack ultra light, I would at least pack the Opinel French Picnic Knife. With that, you can prepare a wonderful tray of fruit and cheese like the one above. 

    These two are packed in a canvas tool roll with tongs, chopsticks, a waiter's corkscrew, OXO Peeler, Small Diamond Steel to keep the edge on my blades, kitchen shears, a Digital Instant-Read Thermometer, and a wooden spoon. This case was meant to hold screwdrivers and pliers but it has worked for years for my cooking gear. Today, it's easy to find a knife roll to carry your favorite tools if you prefer. 

    Watch for the next installment of my tricks for mastering cooking in a strange kitchen.

  • Comfort Food from Angel Foods

    When we return to the city from Provincetown, one of the things we miss the most is Angel Foods – our favorite, little, food shop in the East End.

    DSC_8627 - Version 22012-09-26-angel-foods-shepards-pie-comfort-food-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Liz, the owner, has a great sense of what her customers are craving and she changes up the offerings with the season. On our most recent trip we really enjoyed her sheperd’s pie. She filled a loaf pan with layers of meat, corn, peas, carrots, and mashed potatoes, then topped it off with some good cheese.

    PMC_6486 - Version 22012-09-27-angel-foods-waterfront-provincetown-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    The shop has a small parking area, making it great for a quick stop on your way into town to stock up for your first meal. 

    PMC_6484 - Version 22012-09-27-angel-foods-waterfront-picnic-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    And, there are a few seats overlooking the harbor if you’re walking around town and stop for a quick bite!

    What’s your favorite comfort food?
