Posts from June 2012

We are in Auburn for the weekend seeing one of @terry's "friend" Brian's musical. There are so many cute houses in this town. I wonder what it was like here historically that there are so many giant mansions.

After the square we took a bike ride out to the outer harbor. The weather and views were amazing. I decided to take all of my pics in negative mode.

We went back to liberty hound on Sunday with @libertad and @mike. I got the seared tuna salad which was amazing. @mike and @libertad got the lobster roll. @terry got the veggie burger which he also liked. I love the paramsean fries so much.

Everything just went to shit after that.

June 12th we celebrated @libertad and my Dad and Uncle's birthday with the family. My mom made melon balls which were delicious.

They looks so crazy in the blowing out the candles pic because this was a re-enactment as everyone forgot to take pics.

Even with the graduation rate on the rise, it is still only at 54% ;(

Waiting for matt to get out today and he texts me saying he is locked in his room and there is a gunman on the loose who already killed two people. This is so scary.

What is up with the increased drama between the two festivals? These signs located at elmwood and allen, way after the allen town art festival but just before you reach the allentown west festival are so douchey and just make me hate the Allentown Art Festival.

To be fair I was only there on a hunt for fried artichokes hearts, which I never found. We literally ran the entirety of both festivals on the quest for them. I hope I didn't miss it

I headed out to the inner harbor for lunch with my mother after @matthew's graduation. The food was totally amazing. Its a great seafood restaurant owned by the same people that run Blue Monk on elmwood.

The food is primarily seafood but they have some other fare including burgers and steak. Today they also had some pulled pork on special.

Being the seafood lovers that we are, we went for the ciopino. It was amazing. Mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp and cod.

The inside of the place looks nice and sits right inside the museum by the canal but we sat outside on the patio to enjoy the weather.

I wish I would have taken a picture of the parmesaen truffle fries we got for an appetizer but I was to busy eating it!

They open for service at 11am and the kitchen is open till 10pm. I say check it out if you haven't yet.

It has been back again for a bit. I seriously cannot stand it. I won't even wash my salad with it anymore because the salad ends up smelling too.

I want to know what causes it. Its smells sort of like permanent marker. Its not my house either, I smell it in other places. Its almost like it replaced the fishy smell of zebra muscle that used to be in the water.

Is it possible that it is some sort of thing to kill them off. Last time I wrote about it in 2008 @paul #44701, @matthew linked to a buffalo news article but the link is gone and I cannot remember what it was. Thats probably a side effect of the chemical itself, lol.
