Cod, Clams and Lobster in White Wine Broth

One more day of work and then I’m off for the weekend. Kurt and I are heading down to Baltimore for a weekend getaway, fantastic seafood and much needed alone time. With the big family vacation right around the corner we thought it would be perfect to take the time and run away together.

Well, we’re not really running away. But I’d like to pretend that we are whenever we visit Baltimore.

This time we are cramping Baltimore and DC into two days. Last time we did so we got stuck in 6 hours of traffic nightmare. I’m keeping my fingers crossed this time won’t be as bad.

All this seafood excitement inspired me to create this dish.

I love seafood.

I love getaways.

I love foodie getaways.

Have a great weekend.
