We’re more than halfway through our Cape Cod summer (nooooo), but I’m pretending that we have endless beach days and bottomless sundaes ahead. We are chipping away at our Cape Cod summer bucket list, and there’s still plenty of time (I think) to accomplish it all.

This Week on Tap | August 31
Coming to you live from the laptop I accidentally spilled a cup of tea on (nevertheless, she persisted). We are heading into Labor Day Weekend (need an LDW recipe? — my past self has you covered with this post) + really making the most of…
