Here are some shots of 2 meals in Orient. Spanish mackerel, tomatoes with basil, potatoes with parsley and green vegetables with aioli. A breakfast treat of corn pancakes. I like them with tomatoes but maple syrup and jam seem to be popular. Also shot is a meal at Carla’s parents house in Lakeville CT. Carla's birthday lobster dinner with tomato and cucumber salad and marble birthday cake. That was a big hit.

Here are some of the dishes that I was unable to capture … In Orient we had roasted lamb, a seafood dish with clams, muscles and halibut, a lemon coconut birthday cake and peaches + raspberries cradled in a mind-blowing crust with a peach caramel glaze. In Lakeville I missed a shot of the ribs with a dry rub of fennel seed, cumin and some other spices I can't remember, cole slaw and an avocado, corn and lobster salad. Clams, muscles and tomatoes with pasta and perfect peach pie . It was a special summer.
