Get yourself some fresh local corn on the cob and cook it on the grill for 35 minutes. Leave the husks on while grilling; the corn will steam cook inside the husks and leave all of the delicious local flavor. I periodically spritz the corn with a water spray bottle to prevent the husks from drying out.

In late August, the local farm stand will have perfect Corn, Tomatos, Green Beans, Zuke, and Summer Squash.

New England caught Lobster, Haddock, and Cod are usually at there lowest prices this time of the year.

We grill eveything when at the lake!

Also, Burgers and Dogs is a lunch staple on a Saturday afteroon at our place!

Good Luck and Enjoy your Vacation!

Corn,corn,corn.Native corn on the cob is the best in August.I actually micro mine as its much faster.In a covered casserole place a 1/2 inch of water along with (in my case) 4 ears or whatever count fits in yours.Micro for 5-8 minutes depending on ear count.Great steaming effect in the dish.For butter I like to melt a stick along with some fresh minced garlic and pepper.Spread over corn with brush or just dip it and spin.

Ok, so a take-away or two....

CORN! And any other fresh fruits and veggies with be in their best in August.

Score some local caught seafood and go to the local meet market to get my ribs, fillet, and bacon.

Grab some high quality chicken either from market or grocer

Kind of sad, I visited their website and it says this will be their final season. I hope them the best in their future endeavors and will definitely be bringing the group to their vineyard.

You won't be disappointed. Pete and Jane are very nice people. You'll be quite impressed with the way the decorated the tasting room. From what I understand, they'll continue to grow the grapes and sell them to other wine makers around the country.

Although not much of a beer drinker, I have 2 good friends that own breweries in NH. My once week stop in Manchester is at Millys Tavern in Manchester. Many of their own home brews on tap. North of the lake would be a good ski buddy and a wonderfull micro brewer Scott Rice of the Woodstock Station and brewery. This place is great for a road trip to the beautifull North Woodstock/Franconia Notch area. You must go there!

That is what I was looking for, we were going to go north to North Conway and mount Washington so we can add that into that trip, so the pace is called Woodstock station?

If your going to North Conway then you want to make that trip a loop.Take Rt302 back if you want the real scenic route through Franconia Notch.If you want a shorter route than go via the Kangamagus Highway(also very scenic).It will bring you right into Lincoln.Continue another 1/4 mile past I-93 and you have arrived in North Woodstock.

If you're a "bit" more adventurous, take two cars, spot one at Lincoln Woods on the Kancamagus Hwy, drive up around to Zealand Falls Campground area off Route 3, and "do the Bonds." This is a 20-mile traverse of the Pemigewassett Wilderness, covering Mt Zealand, West Bond, Bond, and Bondcliff, all on the NH 4000 foot list. You'll see sights you can't see from any roadway at 50+ mph. It'll take you about 12 hours. Oh, wear good footwear, pack a lunch, and figure on about a gallon of water per person. Wonderful, memorable day it'll be. Beats just looking at it from far away any day.

Later, a soak in the lake, corn on the cob, and blueberry pie will be the absolute best it can be.

I do corn this way too, but I soak in plain water for an hour first.
