The party's ohhhhhhhverrrrrrrr . . .
Well, after 500 pounds of sand; 600 pounds of rock; 150 pounds of wet, hot seaweed; 100 pounds of littleneck clams and mussels; a wheelbarrow full of corn; 30 pounds of potatoes; 20 pounds of butter; 18 pounds of onions; 10 pounds of linguica; and a lot of beer, margaritas and lemonade - the party is over.
Some sixteen hours after it was last stoked, the firepit is still hot and steaming. The digging and firing of that pit is a story - a hot, muddy, backbreaking story unto itself.
We'll fill in in with more detail later (we seem to write that phrase a lot), but we had about a hundred and twenty guests through the day and probably eighty or so stayed for dinner. It was a great crowd of friends and we were very fortunate to have them join us. Rumor has it that some of them will return today to help us clean up, much as so many friends helped us to get the party together. We simply could not have done it without them.
There were a number of requests that we make the clambake an annual event. Candidly, we had so much fun putting on the party, that we will certainly make this a staple of summer. Our bulky trash pickup is always the third full week of the month, so it is our parties will be the preceding weekend.
Accordingly, please mark your calendars (yes, it was originally reset in July, but that was just too dang hot):
