Hangar B Eatery

There are not many small and nice places to go out for breakfast on CC, or at least on my side of CC. We a Nonnies Country Kitchen which I dont even know if they are open anymore, a ton of muffin and coffee places and then the chains. I have only really found two places I really love, and for different reasons.

Larry's PX is great plain old fashion dinner in Chatham that my mother and I love. A little old man comes out to fill the ice in the soda machine and screams heave-hoe! The prices are great and the food is fantastic!

However Hanger B Eatery is new, funky, cool AND they have gluten free pancakes on the menu!! 


I didnt get the pancakes but I will next time I go. I was so excited for the gluten free sausages with eggs and the most amazing home fries I have ever eaten.

The fresh squeezed juice made me feel like I was biting right into a grapefruit and the OJ was the best I have ever had.


The service was incredible and the atmosphere was just what I was looking for! I highly suggest any and all to go to Hangar B Eatery next time your on the Cape!

Bad News!

I moved back to New England in June after spending 6 months in Africa. About a month after I came home I got sick. At first I thought it was a common cold but then it started to feel like a sinus infection. I was already exhausted from my busy summer schedule so all my tummy problems got all out of wak and I felt miserable. Soon I started to feel better and was able to get through everyday life.

I then moved back up to college and the same thing happened. About a month after I arrived on campus I got sick, but this time it was worse. This time symptoms were all over the place. I had sinus problems, my throat hurt, my nose was dry but I felt like I needed to use a whole box of tissues. My bowel movements (not that you want to know) where all over the place and I was just simply miserable. After a long month of blood tests and hell I finally picked up and took my mothers advice to go to someone different. I went to a ENT, ears, nose and throat specialist. He believes that I may have become more sensitive to gluten than I was before or developed a new allergy. We wont know for sure until the next season change and more tests but there yah go, crazy things happen everyday! 

SO if you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, be careful when you are sick and realize that it could be a change in your allergic reactions or an increased sensitivity.

Make your own SUSHI!

All you need is:

- Sushi mat and paddle (trust me it will make your life so much easier)
- Nori sheets
- Sushi Rice (yes it needs to be sushi rice)
- Rice Wine Vinegar
- Whatever you want in your sushi roll. I love veggie maki with avocado, celery and carrots.

Go to the international section of your grocery store. (Stop and Shop or Shaws is just fine) They should have Nori Sheets, Sushi Rice, Rice Wine Vinegar, Wasabi, Ginger and Soy Sauce all in the same area.

You can get crab and salmon at the seafood counter, generally right next to the prepared sushi.

Cook 1 cup the sushi rice by following the package directions. Let it cool for about 10 minutes and then add a tablespoon rice wine vinegar.


Take out one Nori Sheet and spread the rice on most of it, leaving about an inch and a half at the top
Then add whatever you are putting in...




 It should have the ration like above...
Then roll it up...



Make sure your first roll has fillings tucked in. Then roll more and press evenly.
Then with a sharp knife with a gentle sawing like motion.. it should be too hard!



Then enjoy with your favorite wasabi, ginger and/or soy sauce.

YUM!

THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY MOUTH SINCE BEING GLUTEN FREE!





Seriously! This ice cream is AMAZING! You dont realize what you miss until it is gone! IT IS  GLUTEN FREE and DAIRY FREE and has COOKIE DOUGH in it!

Crustless Quiche.. aka FRITTATA


So we had nothing in our house except some random veggies and lots of eggs. Of course Sherrie begin as amazing as she is decided we should make a frittata. We threw together eggs, brie, tomatoes, spinach, garlic and carrots and make a frittata, Samm and Sherrie style. It was very filling which is what we needed. This is just a friendly reminder to my GF friends that you DO NOT need a crust to have a quiche!
