Triple time
Sep. 3rd, 2011 08:46 pmI did three things today! Been awhile since I had the chance and the stamina to do that.
N. and I drove to Providence and back before noon to get the sound equipment for Theatre@First's next show. It was an easy drive today - no traffic! It's great to see the outdoor stage taking shape for the Shakespeare in the park that opens Thursday.
We took my mom to a housewarming in Arlington. So wonderful to see an amazing new home for one of the theater peeps.
Then we headed out to Rocky Neck in Gloucester. I can't believe I've been going to Gloucester for years and never discovered this wonderful enclave of artists' studios and restaurants and incredible scenery!
We went to The Rudder Restaurant. It is a hopping spot - an open air spot with a covered deck that looks out over the harbor. I had a delicious dinner. I started with a grilled shrimp and chorizo skewers over garlic polenta. I tasted N.'s clam chowder - very creamy and full of clams and potatoes. I had the seafood risotto - clams, mussels, scallops and shrimp in a garlic sauce over cheesy arborio rice. N. had tuna tartare and a grilled ahi tuna steak with a coconut risotto cake in a ginger soy sauce. I watched the sunset over the ocean... That place restores my soul!
