So, I normally head to the marina for some Friday boating at 8 AM or so, but yesterday I was a little late, so I figured, rather than take Meredith Center Road to Paugus Bay Marina, I'd take the long way and head up toward the Weirs. This would afford me the opportunity to experience to things that have been the topic of much discussion on this posting board....
1. The now famous "Roundabout"
2. The Lobster Roll at Waldo Peppers.
The rotary (which is what we always called them in MA...and there are plenty of them) was just no big deal. I just don't get it. What's the big deal. People actually need instructions to navigate this thing??!! Maybe I am just used to it. Anyway...
It was 11:30, so a touch early for lunch, but I've been wanting to check out these Lobster Rolls. After consulting with the very pleasant woman who took my order, I decided on a traditional "cold" lobster roll, and regular size (as opposed to the double stuffed). I took it to go. My first impression when I opened the container was "gee, I thought I ordered the regular size." The thing was HUGE. And it indeed was the small one. For the 11 or 12 dollars it cost, it was worth every penny. Very, very good, indeed ! It was, without question, the best I have had. Excellent. This will become a new regular stop of mine. By the way, for anyone that might be interested, I believe the best "Lobster Pie" on the lake is also on Paugus Bay, at the new TBones. They call it "Lazy Man Lobster", but it is indeed loster pie. I have had this dish at many, many places over the years, and their's is crazy good...a touch expensive at 21.95, but worth it to me.
Anyway, the hype about Waldo Peppers is true. Friendly people, Great Lobster Roll!
Lastly, I noticed something earlier this week in the thread about boat docking, and a sign on the water that says "For people shopping on this side of the street only" or something to that effect. And, as soon as I got out of my car yesterday, I read a sign in Waldo's lot which read, "this lot for Waldo Pepper's customers only". With the store right across the street, I'm guessing there is some type of "conflict" taking place. Just a thought.
