Lobster Rolls of New England Book Launch Party!
Our good friend Sally Lerman came to Jane last summer as she was writing her book “Lobster Rolls of New England”, to ask Jane to photograph their adventure in and around New England on sea and land as they explored the nitty-gritty of lobster roll nirvana. Their Thelma and Louise roadtrip started on the Connecticut and Rhode Island shorelines, before they left port in Maine with lobstermen to see where these bugs come from. Along the way, they ate their weight in lobster rolls…it’s all chronicled in Sally’s book!
Last week Sally and Ken hosted a festive book signing party at their home, complete with a lobster roll truck serving up warm butter lobster rolls…man they’re good! One bite and you’ll agree with Sally that “I love lobster, I love butter and when combined with the right bread, I think the lobster roll may be the perfect food. If I had a last meal, this would be it, ideally finished with a fresh lemon meringue pie.” Amen.
Lobster Rolls of New England is the definitive book on the subject and Sally brings her expertise having tasted over 200 different lobster rolls. The book outlines a great adventure and beckons you to follow the Lobster Trail. And it’s a thoughtful hostess gift or wedding goody bag present for out-of-towners.

Congratulations Sally and Jane!! And welcome to the Summer of Lobster, 2014!!

CT Tented Backyard BBQ and Games: Alex’s 30th Birthday Party!
Let the games begin! It’s been mighty chilly this past few weeks in Connecticut…so we all could really use a dose of summer. Go ahead and crank up the heat and take a look at Alex’s fun Fairfield County birthday bash from last summer!
Wonderfully planned by Alex’s family and Elizabeth Allen, the party started in the yard with some serious competition in an assortment of games including the classic egg and water balloon toss and a hula hoop contest, accompanied by a raw bar from Nantucket’s Spanky’s Clam Shack and a great spread of charcuterie. The “piggy” theme was carried throughout, with team shirts and prizes…topped off by a hand-turned pig roast by Chef Jeremy Stanton’s Fire Roasted Catering. We’ll be blogging later in the week on these fab foodies based in the Berkshires.
The party shifted gears later in the evening for dinner under the Stamford Tent–beautifully decked out in bold orangey red by LMD Lewis Miller Design–including more games like pinball and basketball arcade…along with lots of dancing. A super summery birthday…thanks Alex and your family for having us photograph your party! To see lots more photos click here…and think spring!
