Views Rarely Seen This Wednesday, August 8, from 11 am to 4 pm (rain or shine) the Nantucket Garden Club will hold its 64th annual House and Garden Tour entitled “A ’Sconset Experience.”

FRENCH SOLE FALL 2018 Exclusively at

32 Centre Street 508 228 7611

Selected by members of the Garden Club’s House Tour Committee, the seven homes on this year’s tour in the village of Siasconset were built from the late-1600s through the 2000s. “Our goal is to show the wide range of rarely seen houses that are tucked away behind the ‘Sconset hedge rows,” explained Garden Club member Bonnie Ford. The event will also include a tour of the historic ‘Sconset Chapel and tea on the grounds. “The criteria is always focused on offering the visitor a unique visual experience,” Ford continued. “This year we attempt to offer a variety of homes, antique to modern, and gardens that will provide the visitor an opportunity to see something that they can relate to and perhaps recreate.

THEATRE REVIEW: PRIVATE LIVES

Chic & Cheek: a Hilarious Evening “I think very few people are completely normal really, deep down in their private lives.”

Mitchell House Children’s Programs Illusions and Mind Games Cooking & Eating 1800s Style Sailors’ Valentines and Serpent Stories Keep the Lights Burning Scrapbook Your Dreams

White Heron Theatre has done it again with their production of Noël Coward’s Private Lives: they’ve brought New York to their Nantucket stage and mounted a production that is professional, entertaining, and transformative. Teasingly simple, Coward’s play is so much more than a comedy, especially when viewed within its time. It was written and opened during worldwide instability and uncertainty—the Wall Street Crash, the Great Depression, enormous income inequality, totalitarianism, and war. Sound familiar? Though it was first performed in 1930, it resonates today. But it is a comedy, and a very funny one. The playwright’s biographer Philip Hoare called Private Lives the “most elegant example” of Coward’s art: “the playwright's greatest achievement – to make us laugh so much we forget to cry.” Private Lives does just that. Subtitled “an intimate comedy,” the play is raucous and sexy, stylish and lively, and it masks more than it reveals in its playful banter and bickering. It’s a comedy of manners, satirizing the affectations of the 1% with witty dialog. But in between the laughter, the characters show vulnerability and offer a bit of serious commentary on love, life, and commitment. The initial scenes mirror each other: cynical Elyot and his new wife, Sibyl, have just arrived at an elegant hotel on their honeymoon in France. Elyot, five years out from a stormy marriage, clearly wants peace, but the much younger Sibyl is pestering him with questions about his first wife, Amanda. In the next room, Amanda is just beginning her new life, on honeymoon with the older and somewhat stodgy Victor, who is badgering Amanda for continued on page 16

Free Family Day on August 7 The fun family program presented by Egan Maritime will be free to all on Tuesday, August 7 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum located at 158 Polpis Road. Family Day has been an annual family program during July and August since the museum reopened its doors in 2008 following a $3-million campaign and renovation project. Usually the fun is included in the price of admission. Family Day includes free museum admissions and activities including a scavenger hunt, nautical arts and crafts, shipwreck stories, and outdoor play. The museum’s grounds are home to adventurous and lifesaving-inspired features such as the breeches buoy swing set, the ship’s rigging ropes wall, and a play-size surfboat. Additionally, there is a picnic area with a scenic view of Folger’s Marsh and a play-size Massachusetts Humane Society Beach Hut. This gift of free historical experiences and memories for Nantucket families is thanks to the generosity of Ritchie, Katie, and Westray Battle. The Battles are beloved museum patrons “who love Nantucket and the preservation of its iconic maritime history for our children.” Egan Maritime’s Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum is located at 158 Polpis Road, just 3.5 miles from downtown Nantucket. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm and Sundays noon to 5 pm. For more information visit eganmaritime.org The Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum will host a second free Family Day on Saturday, September 15.

ISLAND PAIRINGS

Seaside Sips for Summer by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie Only five Fridays left until Labor Day Weekend. Makes you think about what remains on your Nantucket Summer Bucket List. You mapped it out at the beginning of season, but your busy social schedule, kids at camp, and weekly houseguests got the best of you and your precious time spent here on the island. Time to regroup, reassess, and refresh your priorities before summer ends. What better way to do that than with a lovely glass of rosé in hand to toast the next adventures and amazing memories you will be creating. While spending the day on the sand has its glorious moments, there is something to be said about the calm and stillness of enjoying the water in Nantucket Harbor. This extends well past where the Hy-Line Ferry and visiting boats dock close to town. A drive out to Monomoy, Polpis, or the Wauwinet area will keep you on the harbor side of the water versus being out to the open waters of the sea. The shores are not as sandy, making for less people and lack of vehicle access to drive on the beach. This area is perfect for water sports of any kind, with a tranquil paddleboard experience on a flat day or the thrill of kiteboarding on the windiest of afternoons. After a bit of exercise and excitement on the water, enjoy a rest on the beach with a bottle of Hawksbill Rosé of Pinot Noir from the Carneros region of California. This is the first rosé ever produced by Bob Foley of Robert Foley Vineyards, who is well known for putting Merlot on the wine-drinking map while working throughout the Napa Valley. The net profits from this strawberry fruity Pinot Noir Rosé benefit USVI and Puerto Rico hurricane relief efforts. Named after the critically endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle found in continued on page 12

Recently, we entertained a very old confirmed bachelor, my Uncle Oswald. He babysat the kids, played in the surf, and read them stories at night. Oswald gave them airplane rides in the backyard and shoulder rides in the waves. In short, he was a wonderful houseguest for two busy parents. But he had no desire for kids of his own. None. Now, he will have an obituary that many of us would envy. He has a law degree, a teaching degree, can order drinks in four languages, and has been on a ski patrol in Switzerland. Uncle Oswald performs in local theater, plays violin in a local orchestra, and rides a horse for relaxation. He is comfortable enough in his own skin to laugh at his own eccentricities. He hates the ice cream truck. It drives through his neighborhood every afternoon and never at a regular time. The truck plays the familiar, loud, tune over loudspeakers that calls the kids to come running. He has had long, ranting tirades with the driver, he has complained to the police, he has written letters to the paper, and he has tried to get the neighborhood to sign a petition. Still, it comes. As a parent, I laughed at his jokes, drank his bourbon, and knew that I spoke a language he couldn’t understand. His kids wouldn’t run out the front door for a Firecracker Popsicle. They would never draw the ice cream truck on scrap paper, nor would they remember that annoying song fondly for decades. Nor would he ever walk out to the ice cream truck, hand over the exorbitant sum, and wish, somehow, that you could hold that moment, and that popsicle, frozen in time. Having children is like drinking champagne every day. Sometimes the champagne is tremendous, sometimes it is gutter swill, and it is there every day. You get used to it after a while, and you don’t really notice the taste, until you get an odd moment of clarity and you think “My God, I am drinking champagne.� Then, you also know that you will never drink from this glass again, and you may never remember this brief shining draught. One day, recently, my two boys and I went to Children’s Beach. As is true in July, the parking lot was full, the beach was crowded and the water still, tepid, and murky. Both boys ran to the water, jumped in, and proceeded to splash each other silly. Then, they joined up with another boy and gave each other rides on a boogie board. One would pull, one would ride, and one would try to trip them up. The boy with the boogie board went in for a snack and another boy, smaller and more reserved, joined up with my two ruffians for their “Rescue Swimmer and the Shark� game. I stood on shore and watched, hoping that everyone would keep their bones unbroken and their lungs free of seawater. I was joined on shore by the boy’s mother, who wore a full, brown burka. The two of us shared very few cultural codes, but we did share a bond of parenthood. We both wanted to go in the water and calm them down, but we both knew that we shouldn’t. My children make me be a better person in ways that don’t come naturally. They make me hold me tongue, wash my hands, sit up straighter, and wear a seatbelt. They pull me out of my comfortable, cynical shell and leave continued on page 14

Plight of Pollinators by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation While honeybees get most of the attention, pollinators actually include anything that moves pollen from one plant to another; namely bees, wasps, butterflies, moths, birds, small mammals, bats, and even some lizards. On Nantucket, we mainly have pollinating insects and birds. Pollinators provide a vital service helping plants reproduce and increase genetic diversity. Without pollinators, the food we eat and the plants we enjoy would not exist. Recent declines in commercial honey bee colonies nationally, and the potential impacts on crop production, have heightened attention on the plight of pollinators. The decline of our own native pollinators also comes into question. Although many groups of native pollinators remain understudied and poorly understood, there is increasing evidence of alarming declines in some species. Many pollinators depend upon open habitats and canopy gaps for foraging, and recent studies suggest that, in the Northeastern United States, grasslands and barrens support a unique native pollinator assemblage. These habitats require active management, are in decline, and have been identified as priority conservation targets in many states. Nantucket, with its sandplain grasslands and coastal heathlands, has many of these habitats available for native pollinators. In 2018, a regional network of experimental adaptive management sites

homes are large and extensive or very small, but all are equally beautiful…" Homes on the tour are presented as they are lived in; the only special additions for the day of the tour are flower arrangements designed by members of the Nantucket Garden Club for each home. Tickets to the house tour are $60 and are available in advance at www.NantucketGardenClub.org as well as at the G.S. Hill Gallery on Straight Wharf, at a table on Main Street between 10am and 2 pm, at Bartlett’s Farm from 10 am to 2 pm, and at a table near the Sconset Rotary from 11 am to 2 pm. On the day of the tour, tickets can be purchased at any of the homes featured on the tour. Most locations selling tickets will accept only cash or local checks, but credit cards can be used to purchase tickets at the table on Main Street and at the Sconset Chapel the day of the tour. The village of Siasconset is about 8 miles from downtown Nantucket, so the Nantucket Garden Club has arranged for a free shuttle bus to take tourgoers from Visitor Services on Federal Street to Sconset starting at 10:30 am on Wednesday morning. The bus will stop at the corner of Morey and Main Streets., near 44 Main, which is one of the houses on the tour. Other ‘Sconset homes on the 2018 house tour are: 29 Morey Lane, 22 Main Street, 4 Chapel Street, 5 Evelyn Street, 8 Center Street, and 2 Underhill Lane. For more than 70 years, starting in 1945, the Nantucket Garden Club has succeeded in contributing to the beauty of Nantucket by supporting conservation initiatives that protect the island’s fragile and historic environment. The Nantucket Garden Club is a member of the Garden Club of America, Inc. The Nantucket Garden Club House Tour is the only fundraiser for the Nantucket Garden Club.

ISLAND COOKING

Most Joyful Day by Maryjane Mojer Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm The day before my day off is my favorite day of the week. I enjoy the potential as much as the day itself. On that most joyful day of the week, I clean my house as soon as I get home from work; wash the floors, do the laundry, clean the fridge, organize any errands that I have to run, so that when I wake up I can focus on what is truly important; breakfast. Truly my favorite meal. I love everything about it. First and foremost; coffee. Black, strong, and hot. I’ve dabbled in cold brew, and while I do enjoy it, I’ll take a hot cup o’joe any day. My coffee consumption is well known among my family and friends. I like to think it is also well revered, respected even, but that may be a stretch. Ok, to be honest, I’ll take a six-hour-old, cold leftover cup o’joe as well. My consumption may be legendary, but I’m not proud….or picky. I think about my day off breakfast throughout the week. It’s not as though I plan specific items. I just spend (likely way too much) time imagining what I’ll have. Sure, pancakes, cereal, muffins, oatmeal are all great. I love them, and will have them fairly often, especially on workdays. Truth told, I’m a savory breakfast gal at heart. I fell in love with Migas a couple of years ago. This recipe really checks all of my day off breakfast needs; savory, delicious, easy but not instant, adaptable. Many recipes call for jalapeños and garlic, which are a great addition. I prefer to add a shot of a great hot sauce instead. continued on page 28

those Caribbean waters, this wine is also rare due to its limited production. Sip on this beautiful wine while enjoying the last of summer on Nantucket, and perhaps envisioning your next warm winter travel destination. One never knows who they might run into while on Nantucket. The person you did business with last year half way across the country just happens to be in line behind you as you grab a hazelnut lattĂŠ at The Bean. Pleasantries are exchanged and the next thing you know, they have invited you to join them for wine later that evening on their friend’s yacht anchored at the Nantucket Boat Basin. Sounds like this could only be a chapter from an Elin Hilderbrand summer beach read, yet best to be prompt and not arrive empty handed. Such an occasion would require a remarkable rosĂŠ of sophistication as the perfect pairing for the evening. Lucien Crochet Sancerre RosĂŠ is just the pedigree of wine that you need. Hailing from the Loire Valley in France, this wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir. The grapes are harvested from several different parcels grown on Oxfordian “Caillottesâ€? and

Kimmeridgian “marne,â€? both chalky, mineral driven soils of the region. Lucien Crochet’s grandfather was one of the pioneers of bottling Sancerre wines in the region to be able to sell them in Paris. He and his wife Laurence, also of a Sancerre grower family, continue to produce and sell wines within the family estate. This pale salmon colored wine, with strawberry and cherry fruit notes is crisp and dry on the finish. This fresh, balanced rosĂŠ is meant to be consumed on a sunny afternoon with friends, new and old. You wouldn’t believe the number of homes on Nantucket that have pools. One might think that with the entire island being a beach, why would anyone want to hang out by the pool? Alas, the Grey Lady is finicky at times, even in the humid heat of July and August. When the ever-changing weather forecast calls for a cloudy day, avoid further disappointment and the hassle of packing up the car to head to a partly sunny beach only to be let down by a not so stellar day. Instead you could remain at the comfort of your own home where you can go in and out to the pool at your leisure when the sun decides to peak its head out of the sky. The perfect pairing to a pool day is none other than the Hecht + Bannier RosĂŠ from CĂ´tes de Provence. This art-deco style bottle comes with a continued on page 13

reusable glass closure. It’s classier than a convenient (but often unsightly) screw-top, yet still no tools needed in order to partake in your rosÊ drinking pleasures. A blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and the white grape Rolle (also known as Vermentino), this wine has immense charm and minerality redolent of fennel, anise and purple flowers. Add sliced prosciutto, rosemary Marcona almonds, and a bit of Wasik’s cheese for an afternoon pool party. When you think of all the iconic images one can photograph on Nantucket, numerous ideas quickly come to mind. The Nantucket directional sign on the corner of Main and Washington Streets, beautiful hydrangeas in full bloom nestled beside a quaint old home, and, one that is captured year round, sunset from a beach on Nantucket. Whether it be Ladies Beach, Steps Beach, or from the shores of Madaket, watching the sunset is more than just enjoying and taking in the magnificence of the gleaming rays and the dance they play between heaven and earth. It is a time for reflecting on all the beauty of the day Nantucket had to offer you and being grateful going into the evening for the bounty of this land. This is similar to how a winemaker might feel when it comes time to harvest their grapes and begin the next step in producing their wines. To celebrate this ending of the day and beginning of the evening, a delightful wine of choice is A-Frame Wine Company La La RosÊ from Santa Barbara County. Their focus being on Old World Rhône grape varietals grown and produced in the New World of California creates is perfectly captured in this dry, light wine made from 100% Grenache. The etymology behind the name La La is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the initials of Los Angeles (where the winemaker resides), but really pertains to being in a state where one is out of touch with reality. How apropos for time well-spent on Nantucket. Truth be told, the wonderful thing about the ever-increasing selection of rosÊ wines currently available is that they don’t just have to be your drink of summer. Neither does Nantucket just have to be your summer escape. The beauty and splendor of both are available year-round, however, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and enjoy the moment we are in today. Cheers!

me singing and dancing around in a circle. With the same eyes that mooched free donuts, my youngest got me into the circle around Susan Salidor. We sang, we danced, we hopped up and down, and we clapped as the song called. My wife was in hysterics; yet the youngest wanted Daddy to sit with him. And so I did. My children believe that miracles happen every day. It becomes my duty to insure that they do. When photo by Ed Simeone we were at the beach at Quidnet, my oldest asked about the skate egg cases that were enmeshed in the seaweed. I told them that they were Mermaid’s Purses. So, promptly, they started breaking them open to see what sort of money mermaids used. Later, as they were attempting to create a sand castle, they discovered sand fleas. They collected them in the moat of the castle, then bid them good sailing as they got swept out to sea on a vigorous wave. In the last dip of the day, my youngest lost a toy in the waves. Clearly lost forever to Davy Jones’ Locker, we consoled him on his loss. As we left the beach, however, an older gentleman jogged up behind us and returned the toy to us. The wife and I were stunned, but the boy was not. Mircontinued on page 15

acles happen to him every day. To be a parent is to perform in front of an audience every moment. This audience has a phenomenal memory and yet may not remember anything from this moment twenty years from now. Every step and mis-step contributes to his character, but you have no idea what it will do. You just hope that it keeps his attention on you and not on Sponge-Bob. I give the hunt lecture at the Whaling Museum on many afternoons. A father and son came up to me after one of the talks when I didn’t drop the harpoon or flub my lines; he complimented the talk, saying that it kept his son’s attention for the full forty-five minutes. I told him that I hoped his son would grow up to be a whaler. When I think back on my life as a father, I think that so much of my time is designed to build the bricks of good memories. I know that they will never remember my dancing to “The Backwards Song” or the lost beach toy or even the primary diet of sperm whales. But I hope that each one of those memories becomes a brick in the foundation of their house. It will be up to him to build a good house, but if we can build a good basement, he will be well on his way. Some of the most heartbreaking items in the whaling museum come from those whaler’s who spent years away from their children. Unlike my Uncle Oswald, they can speak the language, but they have no occasion to do it. In the scrimshaw room is a miniature ivory bed, complete with springs and an elaborately decorated headboard. Some whaler, in the middle of the Japan Grounds, sat on a deck reeking of dead whale and carved the ivory into a delicate doll’s bed. He knew he couldn’t give his gift for years, he knew he might die before he gave it, that she might die before she received it, or that she might break it or not be interested. His daughter may have been four when he left and may be eight or nine when he returned. Yet, he still carved a toy for her. He wanted this brick for her basement. Even though he wasn’t at home, he wanted her to know that he loved her. What that whaler knew, and what my Uncle Oswald doesn’t, is that we measure our days in Cheerios and Popsicles. The only things that matter are the bricks that get built into a child’s foundation. Whatever we value, whether it be Schubert or the Simpsons, will not last unless we somehow preserve it in the minds of our children. The bells of that truck will outlive the chimes of the Vatican.

Jeremy Shamos (Elyot) and Nina Hellman (Amanda) are on stage for most of the play. The roles are demanding, and these two have the stamina and talent to pull them off. They’re quick with the constant wordplay and verbal sparring, and their comedic timing is right on the mark. (It’s interesting that the actors are married in real life.)

August 2-8, 2018

Hellman perfectly plays the role of vivacious yet jaded divorcĂŠe with glimmers of vulnerability beneath her veneer. She manages to walk the line between poise and petulance even when she’s in the midst of a knock-down. Shamos has the most entertaining expressions of physical comedy and is completely convincing as the charming, sophisticated playboy masking his deep feelings with near constant flippant remarks. One of his character’s more revealing comments to Victor is “Has it ever occurred to you that flippancy might cover a very real embarrassment?â€? John Ellison Conlee is believable as Victor, humorless, upstanding, and full-of-heart, and Celia Keenan-Bolger’s transformation from Elyot’s conventional and blithely innocent bride to the obvious soulmate of Victor is both funny and revealing. The fight this pair (also married in real life) has at the end brings the play full circle. Jan Neuberger deserves praise as the French maid who appears to be baffled by her employer’s antics (or is she?) and whose sneeze changes a scene. Sets are beautifully done by Louisa Thompson and perfectly illuminated by designer Christina Watanabe. And if you haven’t yet seen a play in the stunning theatre White Heron built, by all means, go! In fact, go early and enjoy a cocktail on their terrace (yes, you may bring your drink into the theatre to sip as you watch). Don’t miss this very entertaining, chic and cheeky cynical look at love! Private Lives is performed in White Heron’s Theatre at 5 North Water Street August 6-8, and 14-18. For tickets visit www.whiteherontheatre.org or call the box office at 508-825-5268.

was established with funding from the State Wildlife Grant program awarded through the Northeast Regional Conservation Needs Program. This group will coordinate management and monitoring of native pollinators and their habitats leading to management improvements over time. This region-wide study on pollinators, called Habitat for Pollinators, is the first of its kind, allowing land managers and researchers to coordinate efforts across state boundaries. At this point, groups from New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Maryland, Pennsylvania, as well as Massachusetts are involved, and this number may increase in the coming year. Groups from up and down the east coast are participating in this study to understand native pollinator diversity as it relates to available habitat and habitat management. The main objective is to improve the ability of Northeast states to implement cost-effective habitat management for the benefit of native pollinators. Through an adaptive management framework, results from the experimental management will be used to improve awareness and implementation of best practices across the region. On Nantucket, both the Linda Loring Nature Foundation (LLNF) as well as the Nantucket Conservation Foundation (NCF) have signed on to the project. This involves collecting pollinators four times during the growing season as well as vegetation sampling to better understand the relationship between

pollinators and available habitat. Grasslands up and down the east coast, including our own sandplain grasslands, offer unique assemblages of plants and likely pollinators. As these habitats are lost to development, succession, and non-native species, pollinators lose important nectar sources and breeding areas. This is an important opportunity for our local groups to participate in a region-wide study and learn about our own native pollinators. This project combines passive collection (where pollinators are attracted to collection traps) and targeted collection via sweep netting on specific native plants. On Nantucket, we have already conducted three out of four growing-season surveys. After each collection, samples are sent to the University of Massachusetts Amherst where they are identified and added to the collections. For Nantucket, LLNF and NCF benefit by contributing to the larger study, learning about adaptive management techniques to improve native pollinator habitat, and by learning more about the diversity of local pollinators. Although this project will produce many benefits during the five-year implementation period, the main goal is to establish a framework for the longerterm monitoring and experimental adaptive management that is needed to improve management for these complex, early successional systems. The connections made through this project will continue beyond the duration of the initial grant. As land managers, LLNF and NCF can use the information gathered to improve management techniques throughout the year. What can you do to help native pollinators? Start in your own yard! • Plant native species! • Lay off the pesticides. Most sprays are non-specific, so if you try and kill one thing, you could actually be killing all the bees and butterflies as well. • Provide a diversity of pollinator-friendly plants with various bloom times ensuring availability throughout the growing season. • Provide water sources. During the hot, dry summer, even small pollinators could use some water. • Don’t clean up every area of your garden. Fallen plant material and twigs can provide important habitat and breeding areas. Please leave at least a small portion of your yard with some debris. • Support your local conservation organization! These groups, like LLNF and NCF, do a lot to support native pollinators and manage important habitat.

Day Off Breakfast from page 11

Migas 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoons canola oil 4 small corn tortillas, cut into strips 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion 6 eggs, whisked 1/2 cup shredded cheddar Handful of chopped cilantro (or not. My husband is not a fan, so I will sometimes make it without) Heat the oil and butter in a cast iron skillet and fry the tortillas until brown and crispy. Add the red pepper and half of the chopped red onion. Lower the heat and add the whisked eggs, gently stirring to blend. Continue cooking and add half of the shredded cheddar. Stir to blend and remove from heat. Dress it up with the remaining chopped red onions (raw,) a spoonful of black beans, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt. Another squeeze of lime never hurts, and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce just takes it to another place. A big ol’ cup of coffee…heaven. I love to serve this with a bowl of mixed greens tossed with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime. I do love breakfast for dinner once in a while, especially with the grandkids, but I am a big fan of dinner for breakfast. Shakshuka fits this bill nicely. It’s a savory, spicy tomato dish with warm spices, peppers, and poached eggs. Add a great crusty loaf of bread, and give yourself time to relax and enjoy every bit and bite. There are as many recipes for Shakshuka as there are cooks. This one is my go to…for now. 7597 Topp by Water YI June 21.pdf

In a heavy bottomed, oven proof skillet (yep…cast iron!) heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and peppers, sauce until soft and onion is lightly brown. Push the onions an pepper to the side, and pour your spices directly into the pan, stirring to toast lightly. Toss with onions and pepper to combine. Add garlic, and stir to combine. Pour in chopped tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and let cook for about 15 minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Stir in tomato paste, and continue to cook for five minutes. Crack eggs onto top of mixture, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place pan in preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes or till eggs are cooked to your preference. When the farm peppers are in, I’ll go heavier on the peppers. I’ve added eggplant, diced, a cup or so of garbanzo beans, topped with scallions. Day-off breakfast should always be enjoyed while wearing your jammies. So looking forward to Wednesday…and breakfast! Enjoy!

It’s all lightly dressed with a fragrant lemonherb vinaigrette. Mix and match each component to create a new experience with every bite. The seaside classic Fish and Chips is made with fresh, locally caught sole that’s deep fried to a golden yellow hue. The fries are fresh and hot and Fish and Chips dusted with a house seasoning, and the tartar is tangy and tasty. Crunchy, cool coleslaw is the perfect accompaniment to this New England favorite. There are nightly “Blue Plate Specials” available on rotation every night of the week. They start at 5pm, but get in early, because when they’re gone, they’re gone. We were thrilled that Tuesday is the BBQ Baby Back Rib Platter because this Southern staple is one of our favorites. In Ron’s version, the meat falls off the bone and is slathered in a tangy-sweet house sauce that goes great with the baked beans and potato salad served alongside. Use the homemade cornbread to clean the plate.

acidity of the tomatoes on the mixed greens salad was enhanced by a blistering flash of fire from the grill. The entree portions are simply perfect, leaving you so satisfied with room for dessert (or a donut!). We ordered three fan favorites for after dinner. The Brownie is dense, dark, and decadent and would be perfect paired with a fresh hot cup. A classic Root Beer Float is frothy, creamy, and vanilla-beany, and for the Strawberry Shortcake Ron piled fresh, ripe fruit on a homemade biscuit that happily soaked up the sweet summer juice. Everything is fantastic at “The Flake.” The food is top-notch, the decor is timeless, and the prices are some of the most reasonable on the island. On top of all that, it’s kid friendly and they offer B.Y.O.B. service, so grab some beer or wine and relax while you dine. There is magic at The Downyflake that transports diners to simpler times. We can get a taste of the days before traffic jams and parking tickets and simply enjoy the company of new friends and old over a great home-cooked meal.

Leave only footprints... Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world. Please respect Nantucket’s fragile environment and the beauty of our island.

In areas where dune reclaimation is taking place, please do not cross the rope or fence barriers protecting the dunes.

BEACH SAFETY •Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow. •Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
