reasons to love

Another great thing about Ocracoke: pot luck dinners. I've been feeling a little grumpy and sullen lately, but that all changed last night. The Civic and Business Association hosted a community pot luck to welcome the new Methodist minister, new physician and new principal of Ocracoke's K-12 School. Mac 'n' cheese, pineapple casserole and baked beans--these are foods of contentment.

Ocracoke is a more worldly place than it once was. The buffet also included couscous, tabbouli and falafel, though I think a lot of people mistook the falafel for hush puppies.

If that doesn't make you happy, picture this: two long tables were devoted to home baked desserts. I ate dessert first. Life is indeed good.

I think I once had a dog named 'Falafel" . . . or was it 'Farfel'?

There are always some surprises too; people to meet, like the new doctor or school teacher, or somebody’s out of town relatives here for a visit. Usually pot lucks just kinda happen, but sometimes there are special events like the ‘January Birthdays pot-luck’ or the ‘some-sort of solstice’ pot-luck.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
