Fried Clams & a Weekend in October Down at the Beach...
We played with binoculars on the beach...saw tons of porpoises!
We watched Momma Seagulls plan their next move...
We walked through ripples in the sand...
We played in the water...in October.
We got messy in the sand...
We walked through dunes to get to the beach...
and saw hundreds of Monarch Butterflies (on their migration)...
We went to Cape May to buy seafood...
Returned home with 36 cherrystone clams (by mistake)... they were the size of my hand!
I scrubbed the clams down, steamed them for 3 minutes until they opened.
Removed them from their shells then dredged them in a mixture of flour and beer.
I deep fried them until golden brown.
I love getting to share with my children ~ the exact place I spent my summers as a little girl. It is the cycle of life. It's tradition. It's building memories...
but to them..."it's just sooo much fun!"
