Olde-worlde. Beach. Class. Clams? I only know clam chowder, and that was a long time ago. They look a bit like what we call pippies. The strawberry shortcake certainly sets my heart aflutter. ;~)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-56654190657698948032007-08-10T14:50:00.000-04:002007-08-10T14:50:00.000-04:00I'll be in Cape May for two days in September: I'l...I'll be in Cape May for two days in September: I'll try to stop by the Merion Inn.

Even missing out on the steamers (what a low-down!), you managed to have a great moment, or twentytwo, from what I gather from your reporting and those lovely illustrations (leaving for camera at work, and still posting an illustrated blog post, wow!!!).<BR/>You managed to make me long for Cape May (loved to take the Ferry from Lewis Beach) and Rehoboth, and the whole East Coast (once we drove from Ocean City, Md, all the way to Ocean City, NJ, because I insisted we find some Italian style fishing village *laugh*). I had steamed crabs on newspapers for the first time during my first pregnancy, when I could hardly eat anything from nausea, but I managed to eat more than half a dozen of those crabs .... and pan-fried soft-shell crab sandwiches: where are they when I want one? Nada here in Vienna. *sniff*Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-27381263478334646722007-08-08T00:30:00.000-04:002007-08-08T00:30:00.000-04:00I just came home from eating out on the town with ...I just came home from eating out on the town with my longtime highschool girlfriend... and found myself hungry again just reading about your steamers and strawberry shortcake!!!

Then we would drink the broth !!!! dip those babies in butter and life just doesn't get any better !<BR/>I grew up on the Jersey shore and I suggest you hunt down those cherrystones a little further north around Lavelette or Seaside Heights. Order some steamed corn on the cob , a tomato salad and (forgive me, but it pairs so well) a beer !
