Breakfast Frittata? from Market Basket

I have found a couple of these at my local Market Basket which is in Newburyport MA. As one can see, it was a managers special / reduced to sell price. I am glad I bought them. 

This is the cover for the dish that I bought; a breakfast frittata.  Since it was at a really price (as shown in the photo), I bought two. I regret not getting the third one. 

Here it is as a whole. It looks really good. It comes with heating instructions; IIRC. It was heated in the microwave. 

We microwaved it and divided it in half. There was enough for the two of us; my brother and I. It was easy to cut in half. It was easy to eat. 

One can see the inside part. My brother describes it as similar to a quiche. I think that is a good description.  We both agree that it was really good. The next time I see it, I will definitely get more of them. It made breakfast easier.

Shrimp Burrito and Cheese Fries at Loco Coco's Taco's in Kittery Maine

 

I had lunch at this restaurant - Loco Coco's Tacos - in 

Kittery Maine. 

It was recommended to me by a friend. He showed us - my brother and I - how to get there. He said it was a good place to eat. I found out that was very true. 

I ordered the cheese and fries as an appetizer. It was a lot bigger than I expected. I got help eating it from my friends - who were there too. It was a bit much for one person. 

I like appetizers that aren't that big. It should - in my opinion - be the size of a regular main dish. I thought the price was pretty good. It was tasty. Unlike some fries one gets, this wasn't salty tasting (some places put too much salt on their fries). 

The main meal that I ordered was the shrimp burrito. I got the small. I am glad I did since a large would be too big and would leave little to no room for the cheese fries. I like the chips that came with it. It had a nice crunch to them. 

Here is the shrimp burrito. For it being a small, it was a nice size burrito. It was really stuffed with shrimp and stuff. 

Here is the inside of the shrimp burrito. One can see that it is fully stuffed with shrimp and other good things. I took it and stuffed myself with it. It was - in my opinion - really good. 

I had a diet Coke with the meal. It came in those plastic bottles. It did not take long to finish one off. In total, I had two bottles of Diet Coke. It was quite refreshing.

S.O.S. at Hebert's in Portsmouth NH

The men of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH like to have a 'men's breakfast' at Hebert's in Portsmouth NH. This is what I ordered when we met there on 12/02/2023 (there are times - which doesn't happen often - we have it at the church but we like the prices and food and service at Hebert's). 

Here is the S.O.S. entre from Hebert's

in Portsmouth NH.

I thought it looked really good. I was right. The meat added flavor to the gravy. The biscuits was cooked very well. There was enough gravy for the potatoes. It was quite filling. 

It had the option of adding eggs to it. 

I got my eggs cooked over easy. The eggs were an additional fee (low price for getting eggs). 

The eggs was cooked very well. There was some runny yolks and the white was cooked thoroughly. 

I put my eggs on top of the S.O.S 

entre. They just slid off the plate and onto the other plate. 

I put the eggs on top of the biscuits and gravy (which is - in my opinion - what this is). I tasted great together. I think it would have tasted great without the eggs but I liked it with it. The biscuit wasn't dry. It wasn't undercooked either. 

The service there is really good. They were friendly and professional. They attended our needs quite well. I like to tip well. I think they earn a good tip. 

I like the prices there too. It was - in my opinion - quite affordable. They also have a really nice selection to chose from.

We at in the room with the bar. The seats were nice and comfortable. They had enough seating for our big group. We had enough room to eat. 

'S.O.S. - Fresh ground beef, pork in a cream gravy served over homemade buttermilk biscuits: 8.50' - Here is the description of the S.O.S. entre. 

The above photos were taken by me when I was at the restaurant. If one chooses the above items, it might look a little different than what I have shown. 

I highly recommend this restaurant. It seems to have something for everyone and at a good price. The services has always been very good.

Bird Dog at Buffalo Wings plus

My brother and I ate at the Buffalo Wild Wings place. I believe it was in Portsmouth NH. It was a nice place. It wasn't crowded. 

Here is the bird dog sandwich that I ordered. It was really good. It is chicken tenders on a hot dog bun. There was a delicious honey barbecue sauce that was top of it. It wasn't easy to eat but definitely worth the effort. 

This was the beer battered onion rings that I ordered. It was really good. I believe the dip was Ranch. It was good for the onion rings. It really added to the flavor. I ran out of dip before I ran out of onion rings.

This was the variety of wings that my brother ordered. He also had the beer battered onion rings. He couldn't finish all of those wings. I had a couple and they were good. 

We used a coupon that a friend gave me. It helped pay for the meal.

The downside of the restaurant was the atmosphere. There was a central bar that we were not interested in. They had some odd music playing. I didn't mind the televisions that played / showed a variety of things.

Eggs Benedict at Hebert's

Once a month, the men at the church I go to have breakfast at Hebert's restaurant. It is a great place to have it ( the prices are good and the service is good too). 

On 2023, 11 04, We met there at 9 AM. This is what I had. I like to have the specials but they didn't list any at the entrance. They used to have different specials but not this time. 

They have a paper menu that is also the placemat. I ordered the eggs Benedict (pictured above). It is sauce on fried eggs on meat on English muffins. It has a side of home fries. It was cooked very well. It was delicious. The sauce was not too much (when it is, I use it on the home fries - even better than ketchup). 

I usually get the tea. They have New England tea which is very good. I put two creamer into it. 

The service there is really good. They are very attentive.

I found the prices there to be quite reasonable. One doesn't have to spend a lot of money there to get good food or service.

My English Breakfast Experiment

Ever since I had an English breakfast on board the Norwegian Cruise Line Pearl at the restaurant O'Shearns, I have been trying to make it myself (the breakfast and not the cruise line or the restaurant). The below is one of my attempts.

I cooked up some fried eggs. I put a little butter on the frying pan to keep it from sticking and give it some flavor. I then put some salt (Himalayan) and ground pepper on it. I flipped it over (not always successfully). I put it on the plate.

I then cook up two hash browns. I think it tastes better fried and has a nice crunch to it. I get them frozen from the grocery store. 

I then cook up some canned meat. My favorite is Spam. They have a few flavors but only some are at the grocery store. I put three slices on the grill. I think they are really good fried (one can eat them out of the can since it is already cooked). 

I put the hash browns on the plate, then a slice of American cheese (I like American cheese and it is what I had on hand) then the Spam on top of that. The heat from the cooked hash browns and Spam help heat and melt the cheese.

Part of the English breakfast on the cruise was baked beans. I had put some in a bowl and heated it in the microwave. It was warm and tasty. It wasn't their no sugar added beans (which is really good) but the regular baked beans. 

I didn't have any tomatoes on had or mushrooms; which was another part of the English breakfast but I didn't mind since what I had was really filling. 

I am not a professional (or even an amateur cook) but I do like to cook and eat what I cook. This is just some of my attempts at cooking.

Pumpkin Oreo Ice Cream at Harbor Creamery

 

Pumpkin Oreo Ice Cream from Harbor Creamery

I take my own photos of what I eat. I normally get

whipped topping but not this time. It is better with

whipped topping. 

When I do the laundry at a laundry matt in the downtown Newburyport MA area, 

I like to treat myself to some ice cream. It is not just some ordinary ice cream.

I like to go Harbor Creamery that is not far from the laundry matt. 

This time I bought some pumpkin Oreo ice cream.

It was rich and creamy. The pumpkin flavor wasn't too strong.

It was just right. I love the Oreo part since it gave a nice crunch.

The reason I like Harbor Creamery is that they make their own

ice cream; at the store. They have some creative names for some 

of their flavors. 

This is a short post but I don't mind. I will be 

trying other flavors there. They come out with different

ones every so often.

I have a card that they stamp every time I buy ice cream there.

I have gotten enough for free ice cream. I working

on getting some more free. 

I think it is neat that they sell other things there too.

They also sell chocolate too plus other things.
