Millies

The best spot to watch the sunset on Nantucket is Madaket beach. Anyone who has been on Nantucket would agree it is breath taking.

Millies is located right on the beach with the most amazing view of the beach and houses surrounding it. The prime time to go there is of course at sunset, but I decided to go on a rainy Monday afternoon. Strangely enough I loved watching the rain while enjoying my fish taco.

Last year I never made it to Millies, so this year it was constantly in the front of my mind to go.

 I ordered the Arkansas Rd, which is grilled salmon, cucumber, tomato, feta, and I added guacamole. I am not lying when I say it was the best fish taco/ lunch I have ever had on the island.

Millies is a must-go for ANYONE. They offer tacos, quesadillas, po boys, and salads. I cannot wait to go back this week.

All of my friends from home will be coming to celebrate fourth of july week with me here. I am so happy to see them and enjoy this week that only comes every seven years.

french BBQ

One of the best things about living on Nantucket is that I meet people from all over the world. I love learning about their culture and traditions.

Yesterday I went to my first french BBQ. Right when I walked into the back yard I was impressed. Wine glasses were set to be filled with your choice of red or rose. Baskets were filled with all sorts of baguettes, breads, and almonds. Cheeses spread across the platter. Bowls were filled with grapes and cherries.

The french do BBQ's a little different, and I loved every minute of it.

We started with the cheese to remain somewhat American. Usually the French will enjoy their breads and cheeses after a meal. Then we had little appetizers like fried risotto balls and sliced salami. For the main course we had the choice of chicken, sausage, and steak. I had a little of everything. Eggplant accompanied the main course as a side dish (it was delicious). For dessert we had an amazing key lime pie (my favorite). I ate the pie so fast I forgot to take a picture of it..oops! To finish we had a shot of some sort that helps digest your food (from France).

It was so nice and relaxing to just enjoy everyone's company, live in that moment, and talk about things such as life growing up in France and what is different here in the states.

This BBQ made me want to travel to France even more than before. Hopefully it is sooner rather than later!

jack in the box

A new season/summer on Nantucket hasn't fully started for me until tonight.

The face of Jack Wills Nantucket, and an amazing friend of mine, Red Rainey has done it again. jACK in the BOX is finally back for the 2012 season!

Every Monday night at the Chicken Box, Jack Wills Seasonnaires host a great party filled with house music and plenty of party pants to go around.

Party pants cannot be bought, they must be earned.

I would like to say last year my friends Brittany, Alex and I set a standard for just how hard you need to party.

I would try and explain just how incredible this night is... but I'd rather you go and see for yourself.
