Ciao!

The Fresh Lobster was fortunate to spend a beautiful New Years Day, enjoying the scenic canals of Venice. Thanks to Maureen from Indiana for the nice picture.

If you are planning a trip, let us know and we'll be happy to send The Fresh Lobster to accompany you. It could be kind of fun and we'd love more pictures.

Well,  Big Game Sunday is just around the corner, and we could use your help.  We're pretty good cooks, but this year we'd like to try something a little different on Super Sunday.  What we're thinking is this....

Post your favorite, sure-fire Bowl Day recipe that we can share with our friends on FACEBOOK, and if yours receives the most likes, we will provide you with a Game-Day Feast from B&M. If you don't dabble on Facebook, simply e-mail us at TFL@clambakeco.com.

Please send: Ingredient list, Step by Step assembly instructions, and if possible, a photo of the finished product. But remember, when the winner comes to claim their prize, we'd love a sample of your winning recipe.

Good luck, and GO-PATS!  Are we allowed to say PATS?

Many thanks to Angelia and Mike, for sending along the beautiful pictures, and kind words about  their 2011 Narragansett Wedding. 

"Thanks for your incredible hard work and wonderful food!  B&M made our July wedding day and rehearsal clambake fantastic!  We didn’t have to worry about a thing with Tim on top of things and really enjoyed him.  There is something to be said for someone who works as hard as he does and enjoys what they do.  Our interactions with you all from beginning to end was stress free.  And we can’t begin to tell you how many of our guests raved about the food both nights….Thank you again so much for making our day great!"

Congratulations to Sandra, from  East Providence, RI, the latest winner of the B&M Facebook Fan of the Month Beach Blanket.   And just so she doesn't feel left out, we will also be sending a Fresh Lobster T-Shirt to Karen, from Burlington,Ma., this months runner-up.

As you may be aware, from perusing our web site, we provide catering for many types of fun outdoor events.  Something you may not know, however, is that we also cater regularly for corporate and public institutions around New England.  For example, we now manage daily lunch programs for Charter Schools and Head Start programs in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  We are also an approved vendor for the state of Massachusetts, which simplifies the hiring and invoicing process for the various departments throughout the state.

In the last month alone, we've catered breakfasts and barbecues for groups at UMass Boston, several dinners for the Rhode Island National Guard, on-site meals for construction companies, tailgates and student events at Brown, Yale, P C, Holy Cross & URI, and thousands and thousands of cups of cocoa for kids on the Polar Express.

So......if there is something you need catered for your school or business,  or a customer you'd like us to deliver a meal to for you, just say the word.  We're always more than happy to help out.

Congratulations to Deb from Attleboro, Ma., winner of our monthly website Clambake To Travel give-away!  You could be next months' winner.  See the Win a Clambake link in the right hand column of this page.

Join us, Santa and Mrs. Claus to relive the adventure of Chris Van Allsburg's classic, The Polar Express, on a rollicking 90 minute holiday excursion through the Blacktone River Valley.  It's a thrill for children of any age, with  chefs serving hot cocoa and cookies, a uniformed conductor and engineer, holiday sing-a-longs and gifts for all of the kids.  They'll feel as though the've stepped into the pages a strory book.

This journey takes place on a variety of dates between now and December 18th.  For more info., go to http://www.blackstonevalleypolarexpress.com

With the cooler weather moving in, we wanted to share a belly-filling, heart warming recipe for Pasta e Fagioli, that we borrowed from our friend Trish at the FriendsFoodFamily blog.http://bit.ly/e5ZtM1 . It really hit the spot. We thought it was so good, that we prepared and served it to the children in the Head Start Programs we work with, and they agreed. 
                                                                        Trish.......Grazie, Grazie!
