Down by the river

Besides the drama with the deer it was an interesting trip down to Broderick park. I just can't believe how much garbage is down there. (e:libertad) said it was all clean from the river cleanup.

I found this stuffed animal mass grave from a memorial to the guy that drowned last year. While I think its s great idea to have a memorial there should be a requirement to clean it up when its decaying. Imagine if there was this much gargage around for every person that died.

(e:libertad) and I discussed the rocks and how people put them there. I still can't really imagine how they pile them up.

Deer stuck in the rocks

There is a deer stuck in the rock breakwall on squaw island. It a bit bloody and can't seem to get up. (e:libertad) called the spca. If anyone else knows who can deal with this. Here is the location.

Did the officers end up with lyme disease, or did the deer fall into the creek and drown? This is like a story without a denouement!!

libertad writes at 09:50:41 05/21/11 - Comment #62415: Paul got in contact with SPCA somehow and they promised to send someone out if he went back and saw if it was still there. When Paul went back he couldn't find it. I called channel 4 and told them it was taken care of.

We wonder now what the fate of the deer was?

libertad writes at 08:32:04 05/21/11 - Comment #62414: I called channel 4 and spoke with Luke Smith. I told him that I paged SPCA Wildlife Emergency Line and DEC Officer Wilson and that neither responded. I also let them know that the deer rehabilitation people were unable to assist. He said that he would see what he can do. I explained how it needed to be dealt with in some manner as it would be rotting in a popular fishing spot.

paul writes at 07:46:18 05/21/11 - Comment #62413: I have talked to everyone I know trying to find someone with a gun. I guess its hopeless.

libertad writes at 07:27:42 05/21/11 - Comment #62412: I wish I had the guts to go and knife it. I'm afraid of deer ticks anyways. This is a very popular spot for fisherman and if nobody does anything it is going to smell so bad.

paul writes at 06:59:41 05/21/11 - Comment #62411: This is yet another reason I wish I had a gun.

libertad writes at 06:32:12 05/21/11 - Comment #62409: At this point it just looks like it is going to die a slow death there. The SPCA and DEC Officer have not returned the pages I left them. Did speak to some deer rehab people and they didn't think they would be able to assist in this situation. Poor thing, I guess I wish we didn't go to Squaw Island today.

Take Two

Mike has a Hollywood sign. I think it could provide a lot of fun if (e:lilho) was here.

Melting Pot

It was fun but a bit expensive. I also found that I overcooked a bunch of the meat. As (e:Mike) put it, I prefer when someone cooks for me. By the end I was stuffed. The weirdest part was that our Booth was in an internet dead zone like those crazy commercials.

Inside

Ok I went inside. It smells like piss and mold. My brother is trying to convince me its like the old days when we went in the central terminal. I guess I am post asbestos. I think (E:libertad) is moving in.

Lost my friends on allen

Everyone ditched me to play in this semi abandoned building that I once called the police on due to a massive fly infestation.

I am listening to some really bad keroki as the police stare me down for loitering. Oh Allen St in the summertime, how I miss you.

Seriously some woman said not to go in because there are needles laying around. Now my brother is calling my "pussypoo" for not going in.

Palak Queso Blanco

I didn't use a recipe but it came out delicious. Instead of yogurt I used coconut cream. (e:terry) friend the Queso Blanco into perfect little crispy cubes but I forgot to get a pocket. The queso blanco stayed firm like paneer but I thought it was slightly too salty compared to paneer

The hardest part was that my blender broke so I was forced to hand chop the spinich and use the mini food chopper which sucked. I imagine someone used to make this dish before blenders existed.

Youtube share link changes

I just noticed that youtube changed their link share url to youtu.be/video_id

This broke the youtube embedder in estrip if you were using the full url between the youtube tags as the youtu.be addr does not work as the movie param value or embed src value of a youtube movie.

People Really Hate France

Totally unrelated to the blue cheese site (e:paul,54285), I found this other gem:

Yoga is gay, like it is really fucking gay... Yoga is starting to really infest America and it is sickening me. It used to be contained to all the fags in Europe and the rest of France, but all the liberals are getting it over here.

Lexington Coop Chocolate Nut Butters

I was at the coop picking up more raw honey and they had two nut butter options. One was a clearance discontinued chocolate peanut butter. The other was very similar to nutella in consistency. I got the ingredients of both.

They also had nutella but I forgot to check the origin. Sorry tiny.

tinypliny writes at 11:10:18 05/15/11 - Comment #62358: I am going to check it out tomorrow on the way back from Ballet class.

tinypliny writes at 11:09:44 05/15/11 - Comment #62357: I think any Hazelnut chocolate creme spread is nutella anyway... I bet they bought their "Nutella" from Guercios (just as every 2nd thing in the coop), hiked the price up a couple dollars and out it on their shelves. In that case it will also be the NJ variety.

paul writes at 10:38:35 05/15/11 - Comment #62354: That was not the nutella. It was the stuff in the red topped jar to the left of the chocolate peanut butter.

tinypliny writes at 10:24:40 05/15/11 - Comment #62353: I have noticed a very large number of discontinued things in the coop lately... I don't think I have ever seen that many orange labels all together. But unfortunately, so do the other people. By the time I spot the orange label, there is wide gaping gap where that discontinued thing was supposed to be.

Gaping Gap.. hahaha

tinypliny writes at 09:28:55 05/15/11 - Comment #62346: But you did - it says "Product of Italy" under the ingredients... Over the last year, I tried out nearly 7 different types of hazelnut butter/nutella and didn't like any of them quite so much as justin's. There was this nutella called "Nocciolata Rigoni Organic" from italy (http://fiordifruttausa.com/nocciolata.shtml) that was somewhat better than the rest (but still worse and way too sweet compared with justin's). Nocciolata had:
Organic raw Cane Sugar, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Hazelnuts, Organic Cocoa, Organic Milk, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Vanilla, and Lecithin.

Justin's has:
Dry Roasted Hazelnuts, Organic Evaporated Cane Sugar, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Natural Vanilla, Sea Salt.

I think I am ready to make my own real "nutella" at this point.
