Pre retirement location. When it's time (3 yrs) we will not be there in the winters.

Come spring we will have 3 locations. The temp. apt. in NH. MH will be seasonal in NH and the cape house.

We will move out of apt. and live in MH while cape house gets nuked! We just go there now on the weekends.

We sold the main house in NH about a month ago. Big score on that one. The MH and the boat are at the cape.

We put a ridiculous price on it and got full price offer in a week, closed 3 weeks later. Ching ching!

Big time scramble. Talk about anxiety to the max Everything is in storage.

The cape has a fold out table, plastic chairs and a blow up mattress also a Christmas tree set up that was left in the shed.

The queen and I will be hiding out there for the holidays. I even got all the equipment to go quahogging and stay dry and warm.

Christmas blessings to all.

In my teens one didn't need a permit, just go dig.  Somewhere along the line politicians noticed they could make money off of permits - and so goes the story.

p.s., question: Do they put a limit on how many you can harvest?

1 peck or basket is the limit. Need to gauge them also. Our "hogs" never make it to the stuffin stage.

Wife is always smashing them together to open almost as fast as imma diggin.

Imma going to do the "Tog and Hog" this weekend. A Buzzards Bay saying.

Tautog and Quahogs. Tautog feeds thru the winter and eats mostly crab so it is an excellent tasting fish.

D, can you explain the reason or traditions of your wife. Just wondering. (Hopefully no offence) 

Thanks, Herman

She was raised in Santa Maria Acores, almost all of there food came from the ocean. They know how to eat and cook it in everyway possible.

I don't eat the heads though but have fried up dozens. When she is done you can't tell that was 1/2 a fish...lol. Most all in her family can separate the bones

in their mouth and spit them out later, then bring the shellfish into it and you need wet weather gear.

 

btw....I have cabin fever bad.

The cheek of the fish is a delicacy in many part of the world. You don't get much but it is good. Even some poisonous fish cheek is good to eat. Don't remember which kind.

Comes from my Scuba Diving days in the Caribbean.  

Not much out of the ocean is not edible.

Wayne forget Puffer!  I don't remember either...I'm going to find out from my friend Ellwet....He's Caymanian.  I got all my licenses from Grand Cayman, Dive Master! Lived there part time from 1981 to 1998, then sold house on East End and 2 Condos in Hamilton Harbor! 

It's hard to beat Cod Tongue and Cheek!!!:wub:

DB, my wife's Grandmother was from Assuncao, Vila Do Porto Santa Maria...Julia Lima!  Linda does a lot of research in the old Archives, problem is, she has trouble with the "Old Script."  Julia's sister was the mother of Tony Lima (PGA Golf)!  Linda has traced her Mothers side (Lima to 1665 Velho family), Julia married a Mello from Graciosa.  

Sure would be nice if your DW and my DW could get together!  

Merry Christmas to all. 🎅
