FORAGING DOWN THE COAST We decided to take the coastal route home from Rockaway to Texas, so we could see the leaves, eat lobsters and oysters, and do some surfing in the south. First we went straight up to Maine and from there drove along the coast, spending time in Cape Cod, southern Jersey, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Cape Cod was one of our favorite spots and here we realized why it is we eat the foods that we do on Thanksgiving. There were wild turkeys every where and in the sandy lowlands beneath the dunes there were tons of wild cranberries just ripe for picking. It was such a nice surprise, we filled a bag and have them in the freezer...definitely planning to use those for a cranberry sauce this Thanksgiving! Also pictured is a tisane made from young pine needles from Maine, and fresh rose hip and rose petal tea!
