T Stands for How Unimaginative Another Lobster Roll

 

After running the "What do you feel like doin', Marty?" lines (from the 1955 movie, Marty, starring Ernest Borgnine, we ended up at the Shore Road Restaurant in York Beach, Maine. I had another Connecticut Lobster Roll, home-made potato chips, and a ginger ale.


After lunch, we drove over to Nubble Light. In all of the times that I've been to see the lighthouse, I've never seen it with fog rolling in. This might have been the day that I chatted with an older couple (probably the same age or even a few years younger than me!). They had ridden up on a motorcycle. The fella told me they had been up there the day before. He said the fog was so thick, you couldn't even see the lighthouse.


The fog bank rolling in reminded me of one of my favorite movies, The Incredible Shrinking Man.

  1. I never get tired of Nubble Light. I used to live down the road in a winter rental that I had for a couple of years in my 20's. And I never get tired of a lobster roll either. Especially since I've only been to Pop's once so far this year and I have not yet had a lobster roll and I want one. :) Your photos look lovely and it's it great how a pal can show you something different even after some time passes? have a super T day.

  2. When you know what you like to eat, why change it for something you might not enjoy as much?

    3. I'm rather the same way. I do try to order something different, but always seem to get the same thing

    1. You'd also want to step into the picture to enjoy lunch outside the restaurant

  8. Watching the fog roll in is amazing. I have watched it a few times from my window as it rolls into the valley. I see it once or twice a year and it always amazes me.
    Lobster roll. Sounds yummy! I know someone who loves a lobster roll (Erika). As for me, I have never eaten lobster. My nearest sea is the Mediteranean and I don't think there are lobsters in it.
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

    1. I just looked it up to see if there were lobsters in the Mediterranean. There are. Not the same as the Atlantic lobsters. There is a clawless European Spiny Lobster, Mediterranean Slipper Lobster, Mr. Google says they are difficult to harvest so are very expensive. Bummah. ☹️

  10. I had to look up Shore Road Restaurant in York Beach, ME and saw their $9.99 lobster rolls. Was that an old sign? If not, I'll take two (grin).

    Like Deb, I saw the fog roll in off the ocean in San Diego. It was spectacular. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience and your lobster roll and ginger ale with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.

    1. Yes, that was a very old sign. The price I paid was $23.99 which was quite reasonable. Other restaurants had them near $40.
