Eat ME
Since it might as well be wintertime, why not snack on a bag of homemade Chex Mix and pretend it's Christmas in July? Lani Temple and the crew at Megunticook Market in Camden make it just like Mom/Grandma/Aunt Bev used to.Where: Megunticook Market, 2 Gould St., Camden.
When: Chex as Chex can.

Drink MEA Dark and Stormy seems appropriate, yes? Mix 2 ounces dark rum (Goslings Black Seal is the classic) and 6 to 8 parts ginger beer, depending on your taste. Clearly, you need to use either Maine Root Ginger Brew or Capt'n Eli's Ginger Beer for this.
Where: Under a giant umbrella in your flooded backyard.
When: After noon, please.
Web: Maine Root; Capt'n Eli's.

Where: your laptop.
When: 24-7.
