The entire inner harbor smells like lobster and crab drowning in butter. Or maybe it was just the smell of butter oozing from my pores. Either way, it was worth it. These photos don't really do justice to the lobster and crab boil for two we devoured on Friday night. The pot was filled with crab, clams, mussels, potatoes, corn, and did I mention...lobster? Guess how much of it we were not able to finish? Only one potato (of 4) because of course I needed to leave room for bread pudding.
Speaking of lobster, I felt like I had struck gold when I realized I was in town for the Baltimore Book Festival! In addition to talking with local authors and scoring 7 used books for $5.50, the timing was just right for me to watch two chefs from McCormick and Schmick's produce lobster thermidor in the cooking tent. The samples were amazingly creamy and confirmed that I should not attempt this at home until I'm ready for bigger pants.
I did make it to the Saturday Farmer's Market on the Harbor and it was possibly the smallest farmer's market I've been to, but certainly sufficient. I believe there were five stands: baked goods, fruits, veggies, jerky, and meals to go. I bought bison jerky for Kyle and bison dog snacks for Elle.
My recommendations for your next visit to baltimore: McCormick and Scmick's, Phillips Seafood (for the bucket 'o seafood), Sofi's Crepes, and the Walter's Art Museum (free).
