Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4030425, member: 181"] On brutally hot Wednesday, I spent from opening until sunset at Hammonasset, first walking the full length both ways, then going into the water to periodically cool off, and reading the graphic novel adaptation of Vinnegut's "Slaughterhouse 5." When the sun was going down, I looked & learned that Buffalina, Clam Castle, and Bishop's were all closed. Doh. Instead, I drove to Sally's for NH Documentary Film Festival's Opening Night with "Matchbox Man" (a CT collector w/42k Matchbox cars) and "Vinyl Nation" (on manufacturers, collectors, and other passionistas in the LP trade). A woman sitting at the same picnic table under the parking lot tent offered me a slice of her sliced potato & bacon white pie. I picked off the onions, and what I bit into was outstanding! I was overjoyed when she offered another. She enjoyed a slice of thr plain tomato sauce pie I ordered. It was not as excellent as the slices from one I had the week before when NHDocs did a dry run of the venue and they screened "Pizza: A Love Story." I'm acquainted with the movie/festival Producers, so they shared with me from their stash of pies. That's the good news. The bad news was that all but the plain tomato had the fatal flaw of an ingredient I won't eat: onions on the Garden Special and the Sliced Potato; olives on something I didn't even look at closely; and a heads up as to anchovies when I initially reached for a Tomato Sauce slice. I was redirected to a pie without anchovies. I once again surprised myself by loving the plainest of the plain. But that Sliced Potato w/bacon two nights ago was heavenly. I haven't had anything at or from Sally's that wasn't special/memorable in the past two years since it rebooted as a more workable option for the beloved (non-insider) 'casual customer.' Now that I know Buffalina is only open Thur-Sat, I have a reason not to feel sad about sunsets before, and plan my beach visits accordingly. [/QUOTE]
