Posts from January 2012

Its hard to believe winter has not started yet. There has been zero feet of snow on the ground and it's already January 6th. Today, in Buffalo, NY it's 43 degrees already at 10:30am and in Rochester it's already about 50 and sunny according to weather.com.

Something is really up. I don't remember every experiencing a mild winter like this. Did it happen before and I just forgot? Part of me loves it. I mean even if winter goes full force now it is going to be so short compared to the years when it started in october. Another part of me is totally freaked out. With this kind of weather continuing the trees are bound to bud soon and then they will be in really bad shape if winter does actually happen.

E:kookcity brought some delicious gluten free pizza dough from Rochester. We made pizza two nights in a row. That night it was Meunster, parmesan, Swiss with steak. Thanks kook.

The other night I headed down to blue monk with @terry, @YesThatCasey, and @hodown. They had the most delicious lamb I ever ate. I think hodown would agree. It came with pureed squash, Brussel sprouts, and parsnips.



On the other hand I was not very fond of the marinated olives appetizer. It came with two olives. Maybe they should just say they are out at that point.

After 3 days my $45 organic Ham from the lexington coop looks like a trip to the hospital waiting to happen. Luckily, I am so much more inspective of food since raspberrygeddon. I bought it on sunday 01/01 and this picture was taken on wednesday 01/04. I had to throw most of it out. I am going to bring pictures with me when I stop by next time and see what they say. I was so sad because I love that ham so much.

@mike got us tickets to a show at the Seneca Niagara Casino. I loved the show but the seats were so uncomfortable that I may never go back to see anything else there. I can't imagine how bad it was for the person in front of me or for the people next to them.

This is the only picture I have of the New Year's Eve 2011 party. I don't think I saw Billy after that.

They taste so good at Dark Wendy's.

I don't get how bottle caps turn into cash for chemo.

The new years ball drop went great minus the countdown. My mother bought me this animatronic turtle that sings putting on the Ritz.
