  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • Fumar, Smoking Up the Sand in Provincetown

    PMC_6578 - Version 22012-09-27-fumar-playing-tidal-flats-provincetown-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This week's Sunday Dog is Fumar, one of our neighbors from a recent trip to Provincetown.

    PMC_6586 - Version 22012-09-27-fumar-playing-tidal-flats-provincetown-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Part of our entertainment was watching Miss Fumar (that means smoke in Spanish) playing chase the ball on the tidal flats in front of the apartments.

    PMC_6584 - Version 22012-09-27-fumar-playing-tidal-flats-provincetown-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This smokey gray beauty came right over to meet our Poppy when she saw us out on our patio. She said a polite hello but really had one eye on the beach where her guys patiently tossed the ball time-after-time to keep her happy and healthy.

    PMC_6624 - Version 22012-09-27-fumar-playing-tidal-flats-provincetown-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We were impressed by the sparkle of her jewel encrusted collar and were suprised to see that she wore her bling right into the water because chasing an orange ball was more important than keeping her "diamonds" clean.

    PMC_6581 - Version 22012-09-27-fumar-playing-tidal-flats-provincetown-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Fumar, you are a true athlete and a very classy lady dog! Hope we share a lawn with you again someday!

  • Happy Garden Gargoyles

    PMC_6509 - Version 22012-09-27happy-gargoyle-planters-with-feet- Provincetown- Monte's-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Every time I walked by this display last week on the steps of Monty's in Provincetown, I had to smile. I called these "Happy Gargoyles" and thought about the touch of whimsy they would add along a garden path. Since these don't actually act as downspouts, they really should be called "grotesques."

    I also kept seeing, in these faces, some features of people I knew– people who laughed a lot and had a twinkle in their eye. Do you see someone you recognize in these faces?

  • Focaccia Croutons Are Tops

    While I don’t enjoy TV cooking contests, I do love to set myself a challenge now and then. A favorite one is using up what is left on hand as we get ready to leave a rental house.

    DSC_8614 - Version 22012-09-26-foccacia-bread-croutons-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We had purchased a loaf of focaccia the day before and had what we needed to make a big salad, so the focaccia became croutons. I cut the bread into cubes and sautéed those in a bit of butter and olive oil. Before they left the skillet, I tossed them with salt, black pepper, aleppo pepper, and fine french herbs. This made some of the best croutons I’ve ever had. 

    DSC_8968 - Version 22012-10-02-focaccia-iggy's-deep-dish-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This was Deep Dish Rosemany Focaccia from Iggy’s Bread of the World. Fortunately, it’s sold at Angell Foods in the East End of Provincetown as well as around the Greater Boston area. We’ve bought it at the Copley farmers’ market.

    DSC_8633 - Version 22012-09-26-focaccia- croutons-salad-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    The salad the croutons topped was a vision in green with romaine lettuce, cucumber, and avacado. It made a great combination and cleaned out the vegetable bin.
