The weekend of September 15-16 was LOTS of fun! On Saturday evening we attended Carly and Tiffany's 2nd Annual Clambake. The event featured not only delicious clams but also marvelous lobsters (many lobsters!), mussels, potatoes and corn on the cob, all cooked to succulent perfection in a process that featured a fire pit in Carly and Tiffany's brand new and spacious patio. The food was cooked in the pit with seaweed to add moisture and flavor. Plus, the menu also included chicken and sausage cooked on an outdoor grill. Everything was very delicious and the atmosphere was wonderfully festive!
Then, on Sunday, we watched the Browns beat the Bengals 51-45 in an offensive showdown in Cleveland Browns stadium. (Only the third game in NFL history in which two opposing quaterbacks each threw five TD passes.) We expected clouds and perhaps even some rain. But the sun came out early on in the game and stayed with us to watch the action. A great time was had by all at both events.
