    Made a toasted walnut pesto today with basil from outside. My tomatoes need time to ripen.

    If you stagger when you plant them will they be ready at different times?  I am sure you jar some of them but I always chuckle (and accept!) when people give me their lovely Jersey Tomatoes which they cannot keep up with when they get a shitton ready at the same time.

    True. My jarring tomatoes never worked that great. I'll just try to eat them all. Love the variety available now. Each have their own taste. So great!

    Jersey peaches too. Pretty killer now.
     May try to make salsa with my tomatoes and jar later this year.

    Nice.

    The corn was a slaughter.  So good. 
    Ridiculous.
    Will grab peaches next trip, they've been good this year.

    My in laws said their garden tomatoes are trash this year, except for the little ones as well.
    The wild tomatoes they have in another area of their yard are great. 
    Thought that was amusing.

    I went to a spot a few years ago where the dude just put the clams (ones he pulled from the bay that morning) right on the grill.  Had never done it and it was awesome.  Kept pulling them off, hitting with hot sauce and taking a pull from a beer.

    This does look glorious, though..

    Mike, spill the recipe here!

    Ok my famous clam recipe lol.  I think from memory, cup of chicken stock, cup of white wine, garlic, parsley, lemon, butter.  Put on grill minus the clams.  Let the mixture come to a boil then add the clams. 
    I keep my grill on high and check every minute or two, constantly stirring then around.  
    So from here you could go two ways, as each clam pops open you can take them out and put in a bowl then cover in aluminum foil.  Or just keep stirring them around until they are open. 
    After the majority of them open I will put a few stubborn ones directly on the grill.  Once they open I put them back in the pan with the rest of them. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Awesome, thanks.
    The stubborn ones reminds me of my practice of accepting clams/mussels as only partly open as fair game.  I will crank em open and chow down.
    One time I was doing this at a place with my boss and he was grossed out.  I told him I have done this my whole life and never once got food poisoning or anything like that.
    He says "fuck it, ok" and joins to pry open his barely open ones and eat.
    We were on a multiple city road trip and he griped for the next day+ as he dealt with severe gastro distress.  :lol:
    My stomach is fucking iron - nothing bothers it.

    Sounds perfect. 

    Vacation in the outer banks next week so going to eat and drink like a maniac.  Plenty of seafood for sure.

    Last time we were there we had a company come in and they cooked up a crab boil.  It was delicious and worth it.

    Kitty hawk. We get a great place, not one of the stereotypical 20 bedroom houses, but something perfect for my side of the family right in the beach with an absolutely amazing deck. Can’t wait
