    For years and years, Mrs MikeInMa's family, has observed Labor day with a sort of clambake - home-made clam chowder(red and white), home-made clam cakes/fritters, steamed clams, corn on the cob, draft beer via a beer ball.

    As family members aged and the next generation too busy to carry it on, a day of food and family ceased to be.

    So, in honor of her family's observation, we observe it differently.

    Chowder and clam cakes from a local restaurant, with local corn on the cob and some coleslaw/cucumbers gets it done.
