Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Portland, Maine for the annual National Extension Association of Family & Consumer Sciences (NEAFCS) conference.\u00a0 This year I am serving as the Nebraska affiliate president.\u00a0 So I figured it was my duty to make this trip.\u00a0 Portland, Maine, has been described as a Foodies Paradise.\u00a0 We had a great time enjoying the sights, sounds, and tastes of Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The first night we enjoyed dinner at a lobster pound in Freeport, Maine.
\nLobster doesn\u2019t get any fresher than this.\u00a0 This dinner was a lot of work.
\nThe lobster had a rubbery texture but dipping it into melted butter made
\nit very tasty.\u00a0 The meal was served with corn on the cob and boiled
\nred potatoes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Portland, Maine was voted America’s Foodies Town in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The second night we ate at Local 188.\u00a0 They serve foods that are fresh
\nand local.\u00a0 This is the\u00a0mission of many of Portland restaurants.
\nPictured above is grilled moro flat bread with roasted red pepper
\nhummus.\u00a0 SO good.\u00a0 I also had a shrimp pasta dish but it didn’t
\nphotograph well.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

\nCafe.\u00a0 Above is my meal, Maine Crab
\nand Lobster Cakes.\u00a0 Many of the

\ntart\u00a0with homemade cinamon ice
\ncream.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
