What's on the menu?

After we concluded our last week of February menu, February 22 through 27,including a night out on the town (Joe ordered and consumed the scallops wrapped with bacon), we hied out off into the Maine woodlands to see the Squirrel Point Light, a small operational lighthouse on the Kennebec River. On the way home, we saw a photograph of the lighthouse in the Front Street Deli in Bath, where all the sandwiches are named for destroyers (We ordered the USS Gonzales; chili nachos). Well, actually, the lighthouse was in the background of the photo. The foreground was a church in Phippsburg (on the other side of the river from the light) and the subject of the photograph was the USS Phillipine Seas, one of many destroyers built in Bath at the Bath Iron Works, sailing between the lighthouse and the church.

The path to Squirrel Point was at the end of a long muddy road, marked only with ochre blazes on trees along the way, although it was clear that bass fishermen frequented the area. One bass per day, that's all we ask, as long as it's 36 inches or more in size. There was ice covering the trail at several points, on either side of the footbridge, and we had to make our way carefully, especially Irene, who for some odd reason was not wearing boots.

When we got back, over tomato soup and fennel salad we planned the menu for the following week: here's what's up for March 1 through 8.
