#hand pressed

More pictures of the hand pressed prints I made last month.

Devil Reef Tiki Bar

Hand carved, inked, and pressed to wood by Drew Meger in Salem, MA.

I remember when this place opened. My family was super excited for some reason. I had no idea why - surely it was faster to just go down Route 1 to Kowloon's than take the twisting coastal road up to Innsmouth? It was a long trip for a ten year old, but Dad insisted on it, looking forward to some dishes he remembered from his Navy days. The food wasn't great, the noodles looked way too slimy and to my car-sicked stomach they seemed to writhe on the plate. Everything else was way too salty which I guess was to make people buy more drinks. Dad had a lot of them, more when some old friends showed up, but Mom didn't seem to mind driving back.

We'd go back to that place at least twice a year for special occasions and I never liked it. I'd usually end up pushing an attempt at a chicken finger around a plate until it was time to go. Seriously, how do you get a chicken finger wrong? It was like they had never seen a chicken, let alone a finger before. Not needing to go back there was the only upside to Dad's disappearance.
