Come on down! If you’re reading this from somewhere in North Jersey or Central Jersey (not near the Jersey Shore), you should come on over to the Long Branch, Asbury Park, or Ocean Grove beaches. It’s a beautiful day on the Jersey Shore – one of the best that we’ve had all summer!

This morning, I went to the Merrick Farm and picked up my half share of the week’s bounty. I picked up a bunch of interesting looking produce – some of which I know what to do with, some of which I have no idea. I’m going to take some time this morning and make a gigantic salad out of our existing produce from the farm. The new stuff I’m just going to “bank” at the bottom of the fridge in the crisper. Then I’ll be spending a portion of today down in Belmar at a friend’s barbecue.

My goal is to spend this evening relaxing. I’ve had pretty active, hectic weekends for the last few weeks and next weekend I’ll be in Nashville so relaxing will be a nice change of pace!

In the mean time, come on down to the shore!
