Seafood Weekend
Hooray for three day weekends! Hopefully you don't have to work and can enjoy an extra day off, but if you do have to work, there are two special dinners this weekend that should put you in good spirits.

Second, Fred's at Scottsdale Fashion Square is hosting a New England Clam Bake. Friday, Saturday and Monday from open to close, enjoy a an east coast tradition with clams, lobster rolls, fried oysters, and, of course, buckets of beer!

Breakfast Bacon Fritters
These Apple Bacon Fritters are the furthest thing from healthy but it's a three day weekend and tomorrow is National Bacon Day (finally). Yummy dough with big chunks of bacon and apples are tossed into hot oil and fried to a golden brown. Top them off with Maple Bacon Glaze for a breakfast treat with all 5 food groups. Bacon, fruit, butter, sugar, and booze. Enjoy!
