Dinner last night

I love the grill in the summer. I wish I had a kitchen with a grill and fume hood for the winter.

For the first time I tries cooking the corn in the microwave. Husk and all in the microwave for 2 minutes. Worked really great, little mess, and saved all the vitamins that would end up washed away with the boiling water.

Apple sauce all wrapped up

...because the thing preventing everyone from eating apple sauce was a huge amount of non-recycleable packaging.

Buffalo Outer Harbor Citybration

We went out to the outer harbor sunday night for the final part of citybration. We originally went for the hot air balloon ride but I was not about to pay $15 to go 40 ft up. What's the point of going in a hot air balloon that doesn't even go as high as your house.

They said it had to do with the wind but there was barely any wind for a waterfront location. Maybe, whoever planned it should have thought about that.

Server Maintenance?

The sprinkler got left on. The basement filled up with water. Luckily I have the server 6 ft up. Right now I can't even get to it without mopping up water.

The best decision ever

Not buying this house on North behind the linor several years ago. It would have ruined our lives.

I hope I never see any part of my house in this condition.

Steves clam shack at the harbor

I think its the same guy from elmwood. The menu is pretty similar. We got Fanny bay oysters and steamed clams. I wish I took pics but my hands were full of delicious shell fish.

I ordered the Fanny bay and he tried to sell me into trying a variety. I said I am pretty sure I like the Fanny bay and he said they were the best but he likes to save them for himself ;) They were really good.

Etched in stone

Messing up type in stone seems so permanent. Especially if its a war monument and its the name of the country. Would you take it off your CV?

There is lard in the crust?!

Two hours before the party, where we planned on serving 5 quiches, we realized we only had pie crusts with lard and the whole thing was supposed to be vegetarian. Having been vegan for a long time I know how that can be a big deal so I ran out to pricerite to grab the ingredients as there was no time to go anywhere else.

That store is great if you want economy sized boxes of processed junk food but it was very hard to find the raw ingredients I needed. The only flour they have is Goya brand in the small bag. It is not organized with baking goods as sections like that don't exist. Instead its just with all of the other Goya products.

Anyways, I had never made crusts before but thanks to the kitchenaid it worked out great and I have it memorized now.

1 crust is:
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
5 1/3 tbsp butter
4-5 tbsp water

The Flour and salt get mixed. Add the butter and mix till it looks like crumbs. Then slowly add the water. Make a ball and roll it out.

Honestly, home economy classes from middle school paid off because it worked out great.
