A Blow-by-Blow Account of What I Ate in Maine, for Those of You Who Were Wondering (Letitia)


If you are ever in Portland, ME, you must eat at Flatbread's Pizza. It is fantastic. They make a big deal out of their local and organic ingredients: milk from pampered cows; sausage from unionized pigs; vegetables that received tuition reimbursement and partner benefits. But never mind all that: it's just incredibly good. Nonnie and I shared a flatbread pizza with roasted tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, maple-fennel sausage, and carmelized onions. It's worth the trip, y'all.

Since I've been here, I've also had good ginger-spice cookies, brie baked in brioche, oatmeal, cranberry bread, Maine-style hot dogs (on the buns used for lobster rolls, with great local pickle relish), and Maine Moose Tracks ice cream (espresso ice cream with heath bar candy and ribbons of fudge).

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
