East Coast Food
Whenever I travel I try to take pictures of memorable meals; I do this not only because I love food, but also because it helps me to remember to finer details of an otherwise busy day. Here are a few food snapshots I grabbed while on our east coast trip:
- Strawberry filled birthday cake
- Grilled east coast hot dog buns are the best
- Fresh fruit salad
- The obligatory lobster (it was close to a sheller)
- Carmelized onions that were later mixed into hash browns
- The omlette, pre beating
- Delicious crab cake burger at the Finback Alehouse in Bar Harbor
- Nothing beats ice cream and a beer on a warm summer day
- You can see the real blueberries in my blueberry beer at the Finback Alehouse
- Homemade blueberry pancakes
We Have Great Friends, Too!
We have been incredibly fortunate to be flooded with many well wishes and congratulations over the past 4 days. We have been blessed many times over, and we thank all of you.
A special thanks to Emily, Tim, Henry, and Sam. Few things bring as much surprise joy in the morning as finding a cooler with a quiche, fruit salad, crunchy granola, yogurt, and fresh flowers on your doorstep. THANK YOU!

Best Cupcakes Ever
Not only are these super cute, but they combine two of my favorite treats: cupcakes and cookies!
(I found this picture on the intertubes - we'll post a picture if we ever make them ourselves)
Coke’s “Freestyle” Machines
Coke is getting ready to release a new beverage dispenser that allows users to create custom flavored drinks on the spot. Up to 104 flavors can be created by combining the various syrups inside the machine:
...it's the machine's guts that tell the real story. The fountain's flavors come not from big bags of concentrate but from precision inkjet printer cartridges, a concept borrowed from the medical industry. The benefits are two-fold. The printer cartridges contain extremely concentrated syrup, which massively cuts down on shipping costs and on the company's carbon footprint--one 46-ounce cartridge equals an old-time 5-gallon bag.
But just as important, the cartridges also track exactly what's being dispensed in real-time. That provides a continuous data stream to Coke about what's catching the consumer's fancy. So you could, for example, track how a new product performs--down to the ounce--shortly after its introduction.

Two Toots Railroad Restaurant
While in the 'burbs of Chicago we visited a neat little train-themed restaurant called 2 Toots. The restaurant has model trains running through the dining area to bring food out from the kitchen, which would be reason enough to visit again. But what I really love about this restaurant are the burgers (pressed thin so that the edges get crisp) and the milkshakes (thick, creamy, served in metal mixing cup). Delicious!
