We always buy some when we go up to the NE for vacations. That stuff is wonderful!<br /><br />You've never had rhubarb pie? Sometimes people make rhubarb/strawberry pie, which is beautiful and sweeter than just rhubarb. Rhubarb is very tart and needs quite a bit of sugar to sweeten it. It's good, though. Kind of has a sweet/tart taste.<br /><br />Yes, you need a big pot to boil a lobster! I guess there's not a need for a pot that large in most RV's.juleesing1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12502398537565955143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767944521225965268.post-13133091156013284302011-05-29T14:52:47.103-05:002011-05-29T14:52:47.103-05:00Hi Sharon -

I'll have to try rhubarb pie. I've never had it before. I know I like blueberries!<br />We bought some real maple syrup when we were in Virginia - WOW - I could drink that stuff with a straw!Mark & Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410651360395422840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767944521225965268.post-39036182940136408512011-05-29T10:20:56.614-05:002011-05-29T10:20:56.614-05:00Goodness!

Have you ever eaten that? And the blueberries, especially the wild ones, really are wonderful -- very small but crazy flavorful!

We'll just have to go out to eat a lot :)<br />I'll be looking out for a blueberry/cream cheese pie, that sounds wonderful!<br />TeriMark & Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410651360395422840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767944521225965268.post-38622341369080646932011-05-27T22:54:58.270-05:002011-05-27T22:54:58.270-05:00The crab is good in Maine, too.

If you refrigerate a whole lobster, you will find it's very easy to extract the meat because it shrinks back from the claws. Whole lobsters in Maine are cheap and you should buy them while you're there! Use the meat in scrambled eggs -- excellent, decadent breakfast!<br /><br />Also, don't miss the blueberries. My preference was in pies. We had a blueberry/cream cheese pie to die for when we were in Maine. It was probably the best pie I've ever eaten in my life!<br /><br />Down on the coast in diners and such (cheap palces) the deep fried white fish is freshly caught (that morning) -- it's excellent. Hopefully you can get that up near Aroostook State Park, too.juleesing1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12502398537565955143noreply@blogger.com
