One of the good things about vacation is the lack of rules. Food rules vanish in an anarchic haze.

This morning we feasted on banana bread, croissants, muffins, and apple fritters. The coffee was ground from fresh beans. After a morning of reading and chatting, we wandered into Vineyard Haven for some shopping. I bought an amazing bottle of 18-year-old balsamic vinegar imported from Italy.

When we got home we opened a bottle of sparkling wine and enjoyed it with some Boursin cheese and crackers. Tonight we’re heading to Edgartown for some casual Italian food.

I love vacation.
