Aw Man, the weekend’s over!
Yesterday after breakfast we headed into downtown North
Conway to check out the little shops.

When we got hungry, we stopped into Flatbread to get a pizza. There is a Flatbread in Burlington, Vt (where
I went to school), so I’ve been a bunch
of times. We also visited this
Flatbread the last time we were in North Conway. They
bake their flatbreads in a big fire brick oven, and they use lots of local and
organic ingredients.
We ordered the vegetarian flatbread, which was CJ’s
idea! I can’t believe he chose it over
the cheeseburger pizza which is topped with hamburger, cheese, pickles, mustard
and ketchup! The vegetarian pizza had
artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, and
yellow bell peppers. I ordered a
Switchback (which is brewed in Burlington, VT!)
and CJ got a lemonade. He’s lame.
As we ate, we watched a guy roasting red peppers over a
fire. I’ve never seen this done before
so we stopped by to talk to him about it once we finished eating. He said all you have to do it burn them until
the skin is burned off and turned black.
Then you wash off the burnt skin in a big bucket of water. The end result is the smooth red peppers that
you can buy in a jar. It was pretty cool
to see it done by hand.
We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around, snapping
pics, and doing some shopping. We even stopped
by the Cupcakery and picked up three cupcakes.
I picked the Red Velvet one, and CJ chose the Maple Bacon Cupcake. We also got one of the Chocolate mint
mountain, which no one has eaten yet.
Later that night we headed to the Muddy Moose restaurant for
dinner. I ordered the Muddy Blues
cocktail and CJ got a Black and Blue (Blue moon and Guinness). CJ convinced me to get an appetizer at this
place too, we ordered the spinach ravioli.
The order came out with two HUGE raviolis topped with mushrooms and
placed on some marinara sauce. I didn’t
finish all of mine because I was trying to save room for my dinner! You know how I feel about appetizers…
For the entrée, I ordered the Muddy Moose burger with sweet
potato fries, and CJ got the perfect storm, which was a plate of mussels and
shrimp, with fettucini and sauce.
After dinner, we went back to the hotel, pet the dogs, enjoyed some red
wine, and relaxed.

This morning when we woke up, we headed down to the dining
room for breakfast, but the lights were off in the dining hall. The owner’s wife came out an apologized and
told us that unfortunately there had been an incident the night before and the
owner wasn’t there to make us Breakfast.
She apologized and suggested some places that we might like to try for
breakfast. We were disappointed, but
what can you do? I just hope everything
turns out ok for them!
We decided to try the Stairway Café for breakfast. I had originally wanted to eat at Peach’s but
it was super busy. We were seated right
way in the Stairway Café, and the menu looked awesome. I ordered the simply scrumptious omelet (ham,
bacon, green peppers, onions, tomato, mushrooms, cheddar cheese) with a side of
homemade apple sauce. CJ ordered the
Oscar Benedict, which was egg’s Benedict made with crab cakes and a side of
asparagus and home fries. It was really
delicious.
I ate so much delicious food this weekend! Calories don’t count when you’re on vacation,
right?
