Steves clam shack at the harborCategory: food
I think its the same guy from elmwood. The menu is pretty similar. We got Fanny bay oysters and steamed clams. I wish I took pics but my hands were full of delicious shell fish.
I ordered the Fanny bay and he tried to sell me into trying a variety. I said I am pretty sure I like the Fanny bay and he said they were the best but he likes to save them for himself ;) They were really good.

There is lard in the crust?!Category: food
Two hours before the party, where we planned on serving 5 quiches, we realized we only had pie crusts with lard and the whole thing was supposed to be vegetarian. Having been vegan for a long time I know how that can be a big deal so I ran out to pricerite to grab the ingredients as there was no time to go anywhere else.
That store is great if you want economy sized boxes of processed junk food but it was very hard to find the raw ingredients I needed. The only flour they have is Goya brand in the small bag. It is not organized with baking goods as sections like that don't exist. Instead its just with all of the other Goya products.
Anyways, I had never made crusts before but thanks to the kitchenaid it worked out great and I have it memorized now.
1 crust is:
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
5 1/3 tbsp butter
4-5 tbsp water
The Flour and salt get mixed. Add the butter and mix till it looks like crumbs. Then slowly add the water. Make a ball and roll it out.
Honestly, home economy classes from middle school paid off because it worked out great.

The Paul-Crust(TM) was very tasty! I had a slice of the quiche yesterday and was blown away!

I am so scared to try making a crust but you make it sound pretty easy. Maybe I should give it a try with the mixer my grandmother gave me.

The goya aisle at Price Rite ROCKS and the herb section is actually at times fresher than as well as cheaper than Wegmans. They also sell Byrne Dairy milk at $1.99/gallon. And I got really good peaches there the other day. It's a far cry from a cornerstore type grocery establishment, but lacks the consistency of a Wegmans.
And you should be able to find everything you need to make a pie crust at Price Rite because I have been able to find everything needed for a pie crust.

The Thing with Price Rite is this (just like at tops all the Goya stuff is together)... They Don't label the isles .... They Claim it is so you look at everything in the store... But it is because to save money and pass it onto the customer (or at least that is the idea) They don't have shelves everything is on Skids and the lack of stuff makes the isles..... Again this is what is supposed to keep the cost down... If you bring stuff out a pallet at a time nothing should need to be stocked I assume..... I went on sat morning and the they where out of a lot of frozen stuff.... They often don't have the Variety but that is what Wegmans is for....

The flour and other baking supplies are in the curved corner behind the veggies at the front of the store.
Stuff the 24 needs:
- tablecloth to fit the table (and prolly napkins)
- rolling pin

That is rather unfair assessment of pricerite. It is disorganized and sells a ton of junk but I am sure Weggers has as much or even more junk food on its shelves even though it is organized junk.
I really like the store for its produce, dairy and eggs - everyday staples that don't involve 11th hour pie-making. :)

Had you bought it, this would not have happened.
How's that for a guilt trip?
