NH is just beautiful. I was at a business conference in Boston one time, my parents came to Boston to meet up with me. Then we did a car trip around Martha's Vineyard, up through Rhode Island, Maine, NH, and Vermont. You are right, those old new england hotels are really amazing! I would love to go back again someday and check it out. Maine lobster, wow, everyone must goto Maine and have a real Maine lobster.

I love malt vinegar on practically everything. I must be a Rhode Island transplant.

@Erinmfs I do love living here, but I am a city person so I would prefer to live in Boston and visit NH rather than the other way around. I love Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket too. They are what the cape once was before it got out of control. I would love to eat more lobster but the sodium is high in it.

Vermont is special to us, my husband and I met skiing there at Killington.

Dark Cherries must be in season! I have been enjoying some dark cherries recently delivered from the grocery. The dark cherry package says they are from Washington State. They are yummy!

@Erinmfs- Hi. We have cherries too. They are delicious-

@merpreb The dark cherries are good here this year. Since we had so much rain this past winter I am enjoying the fruit taste like eastern fruit nice and juicy with a taste . The nectarines I am in particularly liking

Hi,

Malt vinegar and fish and fried cod is very much an English tradition. When I visited England to see family (lived there for 6 months as a child) we always got the fish and chips in paper wrapping with the vinegar all over.. My mom was from Kilkenny and my dad from Manchester so I grew up with malt vinegar as a staple . Grew up eating Welsh rarebit, corned beef and cabbage, Bubble and Squeak, liver and onions with bacon (use to eat that for breakfast) and of course, fish and chips. I’m the only one in my family who loves liver. Had to make sure everyone was out of the house before I cooked it because of the smell. We always had calfs liver...not beef liver like in the markets today. Lots of butter and eggs and still everyone lived into old age.

Hi,

I love dark cherries so much I have them frozen in my freezer year round. Publix frozen brand here in Florida is really sweet.
But I do love eating them and spitting the pit out lol.

Hi,

I am from NY originally and we use to travel up and down the coast to visit family in Canada. Fantastic states, seafood!
I skied many many years in college and after in Vermont also on Mt Killington. My favorite slope was Mt Prospect...smaller slopes back then and not too many people knew about it. I never got off the Intermediate slopes but I can remember hearing the sssh sssh of the skis over the snow and sometimes I was the only person on that particular slope. A stress free healthy way to spend the day and then amble up to the bar at night for the hot toddies and then off to an uninterrupted night of zzzzzzzzs.

I’d break a bone if I tried that today although I always did want to try bungee jumping. I got over that when my son who was in his 20s back then wanted to try bungee jumping and a chiropractor friend of ours said why don’t you just drive your truck into a stone wall....are you nuts? End of bungee jumping.

@imallears - what do you make with them off season? Are they frozen sans pits?
