My dear friend Ann Fisher took me out for brunch today at The White Horse in Marbledale (Washington) CT. Wow, what a spectacular meal I had!On her recommendation we both ordered the Lobster Pot Pie with mixed greens. It is on their brunch menu. I have to say it was fantastic. The pot pie comes in its own ramekin, they even put a little horse on the top made of crust, very rustic looking. When I broke open the pie  the smell alone was enough to entice me to dig in! There were sweet, succulent chucks of fresh lobster inside in a delightful white sauce. Mouthwatering, really. Check out the menu for the White Horse here.(And might I add, if you are going with someone, make sure they don't eat much. Ann eats like a bird, I got to finish her Lobster Pie!)

The drum is sacred, when a drum is finished being built it is given an awakening song, it is guarded, it is never left alone, nor uncovered when not in use. A drum was considered to be so special it could even own property. The beat of the drum is the first and last thing we hear, from our mothers heart beat to the last of our own heart beat. These are just a few of the things I learned last night about Native American drums at The Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, CT. My friend Ann Fisher invited me, and I was so happy we went.There was a fantastic meal first, before we went to listen to the drummers and singers. Eaten outside in celebration of the earth and sea, we had lobsters, steamers, corn on the cob and potatoes. And because this is New England, toss in some cl... 09/23/2012
