Edamame Salad
Posted on | June 20, 2005 | Comments Off
Who wants to slave over a hot stove on a summer night? Put down the phone and stop yourself from taking the easy way out and ordering take-out.
This recipe is easy, cheap and fresh. It only takes a few ingredients and about 30 minutes. You will be transported to Yum Heaven in no time.
INGREDIENTS:
1 bag of frozen shelled Edamame
½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 T. canola oil
1 T. sugar
Salt and Pepper to Taste
8 ounce bag of radishes (sliced)
3-4 medium sized carrots (sliced)
½ c sliced almond (toast in a small skillet)
1 cup of cilantro (chopped)
Cook Edamame according to directions on bag. Rinse with cool water. Put in a bowl with radishes, carrots, and your toasted almonds. Whisk together vinegar, oil, sugar, and S+P. Pour over vegetables and stir till well combined. Stir in cilantro and place in the fridge till cool. Tastes even better the next day.
The Salmon was super easy. Miso Salmon tastes like candied fish. I got about a pound of Salmon at the local fish market and Red Miso Paste (available at most health food stores).
Rinse the fish with cool water, S+P the fillet and then spread in a thin layer the miso on fish. Bake skin side down in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Finish off Broiling the Salmon for 2 minutes longer.
Woodman’s Clam Hut
Posted on | June 13, 2005 | Comments Off
I have been looking for a place to have a possible beach wedding. A friend recommend The Crane Estate, located in Ipswich, Ma (45 minutes north of Boston) The Estate is gorgeous, offering 4 potentials sights on the property, ranging from a Great Gatsby Style home to the more laid-back beach and lawn location.
Woodman’s was listed as a possible vendor for the beach and lawn site. Located in Essex, Ma (short ride from Ipswich.) Woodman’s is the quintessential Clam Hut fully equipped with a guy out front serving lobster’s on ice.
Woodman’s was budget friendly. I saved a bunch on a tip with their self-serve counter. I ordered lobster, crab cakes, and corn on the cob so I could get an idea of the food.,
I grabbed a catering menu on my way out. The menu consists of 10 different menu options. The “All American Clambake,” includes their Award-Winning Clam Chowder, Mussels, Clams, Lobster, Rack of Ribs, Corn on the Cob, Corn Muffins, Cole Slaw, and Strawberry Shortcake for around $40.00 a person depending on your party’s size.
Todd’s Farm Flea Market

Todd’s Farm Antique and Flea Market located in Rowley, Ma (45 minutes north from Boston.) The Flea Market happens every Sunday from 5am – 3pm, 240 vendors clutter the fields to display some extraordinary finds.
Early bird gets the prize. Arrive early with your game face on, comfortable footwear, cash, and coffee. Get ready to bargain for a prized, Bakelite Bangle for $5.00 or $325.00.
Tip: Always bargain. If you find something that you know is really valuable and is priced for, “Oh my god, that must be a mis-marked price!” Don’t let on to the seller how much it’s really worth. You will end up snatching it up at a fraction of the real cost.
This Sunday, I picked up this great yellow lamp for $5.00. I love the color and 60’s modern feel. Not everything is so groovy or kitschy. You can find great antique ulitarian pieces, Vintage tablecloths, antique tables, and Depression Glass.
I check out Todd’s whenever I can. I usually bring about $40 in cash.I search for something that will add a little more pizzazz to my home. I have never left without a huge smile on my face gloating about my new prize.
