Long Island Food Porn

Let's be orderly here and start with breakfast.  Long Island is home to a lot of commuters who take the train into the City five days a week.  Very often they don't have time for breakfast at home, so they slither in to a deli for a Breakfast Sandwich.  When I list the ingredients of a typical breakfast sandwich, you may snort in disgust and think, "Just a Mickey D's Egg McMuffin."    

My turn to snort.  The Breakfast Sandwiches were being eaten long before Egg Mc-whatever came into being.  Toast a pair of slices of white bread, butter them, add scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, American cheese and double wrap.   At least three mornings of our five day stay, that's what I had but Himself preferred ham instead of bacon.  We'd take the steaming hot bag straight to the parking lot overlooking the harbor and eat and admire the view of sail boats shifting slightly in the current made by the clammers charging toward the Sound for a day's work. 

The Bar at Oheka Castle; we ate in the dining room, but I suppose you could eat here as well.

This is an interesting way to present an apple tart.

Bourbon pecan pie with vanilla squiggles

Lobster BLT salad

The lobster BLT salad was something new ... heritage cherry tomatoes to the left, Applewood-smoked bacon to the right with a generous portion of lobster over chopped Romaine, dressing is a lemon vinaigrette.

Desserts are all $12; my salad was $28,, but that's got to be 1 1/2 lobster tails!
