Tastefully good times! - Part 2

We had such wonderful food at Darin and Tinna's house during our family vacation. They treated us to some of their favorite Maine specialties. My favorite was the soft-shell lobster. Their neighbor brought them up straight from the ocean. So we got to see them before entering the lobster pot and after. I had lobster eating lessons from the pros! Kailyn and Javin even liked the lobster. It was awesome!

Darin showed us how to make Maine Bean Hole Beans. He made a fire in a hole in the ground and then put the kettle of beans into the hot coals and covered it with more hot coals and then topped it off with dirt. It cooked like this overnight and we had them for lunch the next day. Javin was the official Bean Hole helper.

One night was Mexican food complete with sombreros for all and fresh guacamole and fajitas. Tinna is a wonderful cook!! We were spoiled rotten!

We also learned all about making maple syrup and how they tap their maple trees. We got a tour of the sugar shack where the neighbors congregate to boil down their sap into syrup in the spring.
