The Weekend Before the Trek... R&R in Brooklin

With a view like this - the food just has to be great! Every time we head north to Brooklin, we do everything we can to ensure that we will enjoy yummy food for every meal. We load up the cooler, stop at the grocery store and sometimes find a few surprises left in the refrigerator when we arrive. Even though it is just a weekend getaway, we treat it like a mini vacation.

Stuffed chicken wrapped in prosciutto with roasted zucchini, brussel sprouts, and fingerling potatoes!!!!

"Pain Killers" or a yummy tropical drink! Rum, OJ, Pineapple, cream of coconut - shake - sprinkle with nutmeg and you have a special drink - you'd find on a cruise ship.

Breakfast sandwich on a Tradewinds cheese knot!! Thick cut bacon, egg, cheese and avocado. Beth's winning combination! (The true secret to breakfast in Brooklin is the electric skillet!)

This is what we cooked, but it doesn't include our always delicious lunch at the Riverside Cafe in Ellsworth. (Just a reminder - GO THERE!)

A quick stop at Sandy Point Beach off of Rt. 3 on our way home. A little gray - but a beautiful ocean view is always worth the detour.
