This was extremely yummy. I started out with sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms with garlic and lots of olive oil, butter and salt. Once they soaked all the grease up I started pouring on dark red wine. I kept adding wine …
I made these in the oven the other night because it was raining so I couldn't use the grill. They were amazing. Take some chicken wings, cover them in rosemary powder, sliced garlic, some parley, sea salt, olive oil. Th…
e:joe is trying to help me unhorde. At least I'm not as bad as e:Mike.
I'll let e:Paul post more about it but he made us a delicious vegetable sushi. Apparently in another time he wanted to drop out of everything and go to sushi school. If he ever does that I expect full on Hello Kitty ben…
It's ironic that my old friend from college who is from New York City is getting married at a place that could stand in for Brooklyn. Congratulations!!!
So with this Something September thing that is going around with some people, I've decided to pull back in my own way. It concerns my overuse of Facebook. I think last week when I had the thought that that app/community…
We are going to have our halloween party the night of Friday, Oct 30th so that it turns Halloween at midnight during the party. The theme is demon madness. Black and Red encouraged.
It felt so much like fall this weekend - pumpkin spice weather - we were rained out of tour de farms and music is art. e:terry and I took a walk for coffee and this small crowd of large pink suburban ladies were on some…
Happy birthday dad. I hope it was a good one. We took my dad for his birthday to Seabar, where he got to enjoy fish with someone for once (e:paul) Later we had some cake (an orange cake, his favorite) that I made. And s…
The church next door had their closeout firesale. e:paul, e:terry and I took a stroll over to see what "treasures" were available. Of course it wouldn't be a church event without parking over the whole lawn. They sold a…
This is the biggest spider I've ever seen at our house. e:mike, what do you think? It's probably an inch an a half and it's been living on the window for a month now.
I never finished writing about Jabe Pond. e:uchina came up to visit us and it was a lovely trip. She wrapped us in a magical tarp while we layed in the sun, all the way until night, when we watched the stars and listene…
Seems dangerous. That was yesterday. Sad we missed the tour de farms today. I guess we can consider our registration a donation but it was too cold and shitty for me. Same with Music is Art. Summer is over ;(
So me and e:libertad had my parents over for a cookout on Labor Day. I think my mom was excited to have a day off from having to provide the holiday meal. Too bad e:ptj were out of town so it was just the four of us...A…
Two weeks ago some of the Rochesters took to the road to go to Brushwood before it becomes snowy. I stopped along the way and bought a car, which was rather funny because my sweet VW was packed with camping gear that I …
On the last full day, e:paul and I hung out on the beach. I decided to use the $60,000 I spent on a civil engineering degree and build a reinforced sand castle, to one up my old minnow resort e:joe,59355 Before we start…
Loon Landing is by far the best island in all of Jabe Pond. It's the biggest, it has lots of diving rocks, a mini forest with trees in all stages of development and much more. Unfortunately you can't legally camp on it …
We spent a lot of time building in the sand on Sunday. e:joe used his engineering background to build a castle and I used my MFA and Italian heritage to build a mosiac eye.
E:uchina came out to visit us at Jabe for the week. We took a trip to Hawaii and ate strawberries on the ocean. We also spent a lot of time wrapping ourselves up in blue tarp and pretending to be drowning victims. I alr…
While at Jabe Pond we made a trip out to black mountain for a day hike. The weather was pretty awesome but I was drenched by the end even without the rain. Its a pretty awesome look out over Lake George. I would suggest…
There's so many islands in the Jabe pond, and the pond itself is huge (151 acres http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_pdf/jabepdmap.pdf ). So there's a lot to just swim around and take in. You think there would be a l…
We arrived at camp to find the parking lot full of forest rangers. Turned out their was a forest fire on one of the hills surrounding the pond. The forests were so dry with the lack of rain. Even the pine trees were sta…
Not sure if this is in response to Target ungendering their goods or not, but now many of the baseball and cowboy hats in the Walmart sporting section are clearly sticker-labeled as ladies only with a pink "ladies" stic…
After camping at Lake Pleasant, we kept on going through to Jabe Pond via Ticonderoga. We had to stop at the WalMart because they've killed every other grocery store in a 50 mile radius. They have everything you want, i…
