TASTE BUDS DUCK DUCK BOOZE You come to the Eastern Shore you ve got to try duck Story by Bethany Ziegler Photos by Henley Moore T hose wise words come straight from the mouth of Daniel Pochron executive chef of the Tidewater Inn and its Hunters Tavern restaurant located in the heart of downtown Easton And Pochron along with Executive Sous Chef Matthew Robbins has created a dish to help you do just that something he s named Deep Dish Duck For those who ve historically stuck with chicken over duck Pochron says it s time to branch out and this is a mild enough dish to ease you in It s also one that honors its home with the Tidewater Inn serving as a hunting lodge of sorts when it opened in 1949 At that time ducks would ve been cleaned on site making this an ideal location for either a first or a return taste of the bird 10 S H O R E M O N T H LY CO M N O V 2 0 1 7

Staying warm when the temperature drops is important One of the easiest updates you can create for your outdoor space is a fire pit said Brad McCready vice president of McCready s Hearth Home in Cambridge The easiest option is to purchase a plug and play gas fire pit at your local retailer McCready said Many prefer gas because startup is easy and you can simply turn it off when you are done However a DIY fire pit project is quite easy and inexpensive By creating your own you can make it the size you desire and give it a look that coordinates with the exterior of your home 18 S H O R E M O N T H LY CO M N O V 2 0 1 7 Fire tables or outdoor coffee type tables with a gas burner have become very popular McCready said Finishes can be anything from reclaimed wood to stone or many metal finishes are available Many of these units are portable In most cases they hide a grill sized propane tank under the table for ease of mobility Outdoor space heaters will help keep the fall chill away McCready said These come in a variety of shapes styles and prices so finding the right one is rarely an issue Because they are propane fueled they are easy to clean and operate If you love the fragrance of wood smoke however an outdoor fireplace ABOVE Consider adding new entertainment elements to your outdoor Shore space this fall Photos by Diving Dog Creative RIGHT An apple cider bar and fallinspired desserts presented with warmer hues will spice up your autumn event Photos by Elizabeth Fogarty Design Styling Kari Rider Events S H O R E M O N T H LY CO M N O V 2 0 1 7 19
could be the solution for you Make sure you consider the surrounding space and open air when placing your fireplace so smoke travels away from your guests and not home in their clothing McCready said A ribbon fireplace adds heat with some modern flare as well he said And there s no need to put away your planters just yet Try adding winter color with Lenten Roses Winterberries and creeping thyme Gold and red berried Bittersweet can be found growing wild on some areas of the Shore Ken Morgan owner of Robin s Nest Floral and Garden Center in Easton suggested removing tired summer plants and adding fall ornamental grasses cabbages kale sedum asters and even late blooming Black Eyed Susans Tuck in some hardy pansies for color through the fall and into the spring McCready suggested putting out simple antique pottery crocks filled with autumn leaves dried hydrangeas and berries or adding a rustic bowl of pine cones and birch tea light holders Don t shy away from incorporating fall foliage into your flower arrangements said Carolyn Lasako studio manager at Kari Rider Events in Easton The texture really adds a nice pop And with the sun setting earlier you want to make sure your outdoor space is well lit you don t want to skimp in that department Lasako said We love string lights but you can also add an outdoor chandelier Lights add charm as they dance and reflect off of gold and copper metallic tones in lanterns coffee table trays glassware charger plates and Moscow Mule mugs which work well with neutral toned textiles We re bringing in more masculine hues like black flatware and candles to balance out the warmer hues Lasako said One of our favorite things to do is set up an outdoor bar cart or apple cider bar For an apple cider bar Lasako said you can add different types of cider rum bourbon and all kinds of garnishes Orange pumpkins and gourds have made way for white pumpkins or pumpkins in shades of jade Lasako said She said Councell Farms has a good collection for those who are pumpkin hunting this year Wine from the many Eastern Shore wineries can add local flair and flavor to your entertaining and local craft beers or pumpkin ales can be poured into small flights for tasting parties As for providing food for your guests McCready suggests keeping it all outside this year Fall is the perfect season for grilling McCready said Consider installing an outdoor kitchen on your patio or lanai complete with grill sink and refrigerator Keeping the mess and guests outside is worth the investment alone Also pack up those summery cushions and pillows and switch up to the warmth of autumn colors and textures McCready said Lay down a coordinating outdoor rug For a little more coziness bring out some lap throws blankets and pillows so you can enjoy the fresh air when the temperature drops So whether you live inland or on the water with a bit of planning you can enjoy the cooler days of autumn and entertain with Shore warmth and beauty and a touch of elegance S You want to make sure your outdoor space is well lit you don t want to skimp in that department 20 S H O R E M O N T H LY CO M N O V 2 0 1 7 Bay CountryShop Help Through Shelter
