Snug Harbor- hidden treasure

Ok we went back to an old place we use to go to when we first started dating.. And it is greatly improved!!
Snug Harbor, Shadyside MD. Small bar, few tables but great flavor. We were greeted as soon as we went thru the door, drink orders imediately taken and menus presented. Tv's were on but not overly loud. The specials are written on the board on the wall, and last nite they offered salad bar with each entree. Specials ranged from Tequila lime chicken to prime rib(prices were from $15 to $20) We chose the standard appetizer Jalepeno poppers to start. I wanted to try the fryed Oyster dinner, and my husband also chose off the menu the Steamed shrimp and crab leg dinner. I am always looking for a good oyster dinner, And this nights offering was GREAT. The oysters were small but plump, Not greasy(as we have had in other Edgewater establishments) lightly breaded and served with 2 sides. We both chose the coleslaw. Another good choice, fresh and not too sweet or sour. I had the standard baked potatoe. Mikies crab legs and shrimp were served on this huge platter, with plenty of seasonings, lemons and cocktail sauce.(all made in house). All served hot, and we were not rushed. The salad bar was fresh, just the right amount of choices, and with standard dressings. The tab for the evening was reasonable for dinner with appetizer, and drinks.
We will be going back to Snug Harbor.

Vacation food Part 2

Ok I was right, Vacation food is better because, 1. I didnt cook it, 2. I didnt do the dishes after and 3. Just because it was cooked differently but the same. let me explain. Take macaroni and cheese. But Bonnie made it this weekend, and it tasted like I had never had it before. She added extra cheese to the top instead of the bread crumb when she put it in the oven- just great. Her fried chicken is always the best-I just dont make that anymore. The chicken was soo moist. And what can I say about chocolate. I do not fix or generally eat chocolate(yes people I would rather have pasta than chocolate!!) any way I had more chocolate this weekend than I have had probably in the last year. Bonnies brownies smothered in ice cream and whipped cream just scream EAT ME!!! And to finish off the weekend with strawberries and chocolate-what can I say more. Yes folks mini vacations are great for tasting!!!!!!

Vacation Food

The question of the day is What makes vacation food sooo much better than regular every day food? Is it because we dont make it ourselves? Is it because it is a different type of food that you wouldnt fix at your own home? Lets think about it this weekend and discuss. (I am not making my own food this weekend) so I will experiment with these thoughts. I am leaning towards its because we dont have to clean it up ourselves.
