Best Entree on Island

Nantucket is home to some of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of frequenting.

However, I have a favorite restaurant!  The reason it’s my favorite is because its menu features the best entree I have ever tasted!  This may be a bold statement, but I can honestly say, it’s the truth!

The restaurant is the Pearl!

And the entree is the Wok-Fried Lobster!

It’s their signature dish and if you have ever tasted it you know why!  Let’s really dive into it, shall we?

The dish combines my favorite things: lobster and noodles with an asian inspiration!  Two claws and two tails of fresh lobster which is wok-fried to perfection. This isn’t your typical lobster people!  It has a crunch to it that is simply out of this world! This generous portion of my favorite seafood is served on a bed of lo mein, carrots and asparagus.  I always ask for extra noodles because they are amazing too! It also comes with an asian barbecue sauce on the side that adds to the overall flavor, but you don’t need it in my opinion. On a side note, the lobster is very easy to crack and this 30 year old grown man doesn’t have to ask his husband to do it for him which is always a bonus for my self-esteem! ;)

If I ever had to choose my last meal THIS WOULD BE IT!

(A close second would be the Beef Wellington at the Club Car.)

So the next time you are ON ISLAND make a reservation at the Pearl!  You will thank me!

See you on Tuesdays!

2.  lesson (finally) learned this weekend – stay true to your heart.  no matter what happens.  it’s always better to be open than closed off… no matter how scary it is or if the response is not what you wanted it to be.  just be sure to be centered within yourself.  ok, got it…  (i don’t know why i didn’t want to capitalize those sentences.)

3.  I saw Gravity last night.  I felt sick with anxiety the whole time.  I actually hated it.  There were beautiful moments.  BUT… I did appreciate it.  It was a very different type of movie going experience.

4.   I bowled on Shirley Temple’s personal bowling alley at her childhood home in Beverly Hills.  Here is my friend, Jasmine, about to bowl a strike!

5.  Patty went to Target this weekend for the first time in 4 months.

HERE’S TO A BETTER WEEK!!  It is GGW this coming weekend!  GGW stands for Girl’s Getaway Weekend!  Every year the girls on my Mom’s side of the family get together for some fun!  This year, we are heading to Lake Tahoe.  Can’t even wait!

Favorite Looks for Spring 2014

A couple of weeks ago, Patty & I went to NYC for the Spring 2014 market.  Here is our recap of the show:

Trends we loved:

  • Maxi dresses (Yep! They are still in!!)
  • Denim/chambray
  • Light pastels

Trends we did not like:

  • Crop tops
  • Boxy silhouettes
  •  We saw a few boxy crop tops – not a good combo.

The most exciting news for next year is that we picked up a new line called Love Shack Fancy.  It was love at first sight.
