Chesapeake Bay Pocket Notebook

"The Chesapeake Bay" Limited Edition

For centuries, the Chesapeake Bay has been the center of commerce and culture for those in this watershed region. Our favorite part of the Chesapeake is the bounty of beautiful tasty crustaceans known as the blue crab. The cuisine of the Chesapeake is wonderfully unique and heralded by many around the world. Hell, my mouth is watering typing this blurb. In the end, we found it only fitting to incorporate the majestic blue crab on the back of the driftwood-inspired cover. We hope you enjoy not only the notebooks but the ridiculously awesome crab cake recipe below!
