T Stands for 11 Years

    Hi everyone. It's time again for T, and this week we are celebrating over at  Bleubeard's and Eliazbeth's blog . This week is the 11th birthday celebration of T Day.   I didn't have time to make any ATC's for the exchange, but that didn't mean I forgot T Day's birthday. 🎂

    This past weekend my husband and I were out and about, and we got talking about going out to dinner. My husband had a smart comment, and that was "Why should we go to a restaurant that's open all year when we can only go to Pop's during the summer?  I thought that was a good point.

     For those of you who may not have read  about Pop's, it is a 1940's post-World War 2 restaurant that sells lots of fried seafood (a long with a few other things) and is only open from about mid-May until the first Monday in September.  You stand in line at one window to order, and wait outside for them to call your number. Your food comes out a second window. Pops doesn’t have seating right in the restaurant, but there is a little building off to side with some enclosed AC seating and outdoor seating up on the roof.



      Pop's is known for yummy food, and you get lots of it. ❤

     I thought since we were celebrating T Day this week, I might as well celebrate with the king of seafood sandwiches (at least here in New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts too), the New England lobster roll. After all, it should only be the best for a party.


This was one delicious lobster roll. It comes with one side, and I had  coleslaw. The day's special was a watermelon slushie, and since it was hot, both my husband and I each had a slushie for a drink with our dinner.  I didn't light the candles on my sandwich because I didn't want any wax on my lobster roll. 

That's all for me today. I hope everyone has a happy T day and week ahead.

  2. I always love it when you go to Pops, but I found out that I prefer the hot lobster roll with butter instead of cold with mayo. I am not a fan of mayo. I get sick when I eat it. However, it looks really tasty. What an amazing way to celebrate the 11th anniversary, Erika. I love the candles. Thanks for sharing your watermelon slushie and your lobster roll with us for T this week, dear friend. I am totally grateful for your friendship and support.

  6. Summer is a great time to eat outside, but perhaps not the rest of the year. Then I saw what you said about there being a little building off to side with some enclosed AC seating. Excellent!

  15. Pops looks the kind of place I would love - I'd be there weekly. Never had a lobster roll but know I would love one. Would have to try it every which way it came.
    Thanks for the photos.
    Hugs, Neet xx
