So I’m in Nantucket for the weekend with the family that I babysit for. The house is right on the ocean so I can’t really complain! It would be much nicer to be here with some friends and family though. Just saying. I love the main part of town. It’s so adorable with it’s cobblestone streets and little shops. Summer has clearly come and gone (*sigh), but it’s still nice to be by the beach and smell the sweet salty air. We got here yesterday on the fast ferry and made it in to town today for some lunch at the White Elephant Hotel. They have a restaurant there called the Brant Point Grill and it sure was something to blog about. We ordered calamari for the table that was REALLY good. 
My serloin burger was just super, the best part being the FRIED PICKLES. They came on top of my cheeseburger. OMG amazing. Had some lemonade and terrific sweet potato fries…and other than that it was just a very pleasant meal with a very pleasant view. Great lunch!!! Now I am relaxing in my room overlooking the ocean. DREAM!

TJ’s: Chicken Tikka Masala
You must try this DELICIOUS dinner. It is restaurant quality, I tell you. It tastes JUST like the chicken tikka masala from Kashmir on Newbury Street (which is soooooo yummy). I had this for the first time late night last week after a night out for my friends birthday. It was so delicious I went out the next day and bought 4 more boxes. One box is basically one meal, so if you have more than one person eating, you’ll need to get several boxes. Buy some TJ’s tandoori naan to go with it and you’ve got the perfect Indian dish for dinner. 5 stars. SO GOOD.
Trader Joe’s!!
I love Trader Joe’s. I’ve never met someone who doesn’t! I have to admit right off they bat that it’s no Wegmans, but seriously, what is? Nothing can beat the big W. However, Trader Joe’s does a fine job at being my neighborhood grocery store. I love stopping by here for a quick shop around. They always have a great flower selection and also always have samples. MMmm good. I love their creative tag lines and cheap prices too. Since there are so many items I love in TJ’s I’ve decided to start blogging about certain products from time to time. Hopefully you’re lucky enough to have a TJ’s near you, especially if you don’t have a Wegmans either. I don’t know what I’d do without it. As much as I love Whole Foods (oh so much)- it breaks the bank! So Trader Joe’s is where it’s AT. Check back to the blog for delicious foods that you can try too!
