I'm so grateful this summer (and really the entire year) has been bustling with Feng Shui Consultations (virtually and in-person) one after another! :) During the month of August, I made sure to carve out some much-needed rest and reset time. Well, maybe not fully rest, as my idea of a vacation is going on an adventure!

A friend and I took a road trip up to Maine from New York, and one of the stops along our road trip was in Portland, ME. This was a tasty stop for sure!

Everyone always speaks highly about the amazing flavor of Maine lobster and you know what?! They are absolutely right! I've never tasted such sweet, succulent lobster in my life!! If you happen to find yourself exploring the old streets of Portland, please be sure to have a cup of chowder at Gilbert's Chowder House. In particular, we recommend you get a cup of Seafood Chowder. I promise you will not be disappointed, unless you dislike chowder and seafood, or if they change the recipe (which I hope they never do).

Yours truly, Traveling Feng Shui Consultant Laura Cerrano

Good morning, Laura... I love a good chowder. This looks wonderful. It's been decades since I was in Portland, Maine, where I've had opportunity to enjoy good chowder and good lobster.

Hello Laura - granted, I am not much of a chowder aficiando but it seems you are in the right neighborhood to do some taste-testing on your search for excellence.

Good morning Laura! And to think lobsters were once viewed akin to cockroaches

Not as crazy, as you may think. People with crustacean allergies were advised not to partake in eating any of the plentiful cicadas earlier this year.

Dear Laura,

We do not have soup weather yet, but in a month or two, this would be delicious.

That chowder looks delicious Laura Cerrano. Unfortunately Maine is about as far aways from me as you can get and still be in the U.S. Luckily I'm not too far from some good chowder here on the left coast. And I make a pretty good one too.

Laura, you make me remember a FABULOUS trip to Maine a few years ago. The lobster was so good, but never got any chowder.

Laura Cerrano - Maine is a very special place. Living there was the best years of my life. Every summer I went to the Lobster Shack in Portland around Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth. Back in the late 1980's it really was just a shack and people stood in long lines to order then sat on the rocks to eat. There food was out of this world! As the years went by, they made a deck and seating for outdoors. You should try it if you go back there; but then again, when you find something you love, like the Gilbert House it is easy to become a local customer. I hope you get back to Maine again soon!
