Frat House Life

Saturday night I had an allergy based migraine so I stayed home and went to bed early.

I woke up to a bunch of our friends using the giant metal spoon for a spanking contest to see who could hit harder.

Not sure how the bear head got involved but it made for a real interesting situation.

Beans And Greens

Got some amazing baby swiss chard from the Clinton Bailey market. In fact a giant bag for only 2 bucks. Every piece perfectly clean so that if didn't even need to be picked through at all.

I mixed that with white navy beans, roasted garlic, chopped artichoke hearts and put it on speghetti. Then I sliced some aged Gouda and aged Asiago over the top.

Paired it with some spicy chicken sausage from the grill, yum!

We also grilled some squashes. This year I tried grilling that ugly yellow squash with the bumps on the skin. Its really good. Just brush on some olive oil, salt and pepper and grill till soft.

Bubblegum Plums - Clinton Bailey Market

We got what was called bubblegum plums at the Clinton Bailey farmers market on Saturday. If you haven't been there you really have to go this Saturday. Prime harvest season, so much stuff, so cheap it will blow your mind.

Apparently these plums are marketed as bubblegum plums

but I read the hybrid that has been around for a while.

Toka is known as the bubblegum plum and has been around for a very long time. The fruit is very nice if properly ripened. Its prunus Americana (Native American plum) x prunus simoni (Chinese plum apricot.

Its unbelievable how much they smell like bubblegum. Like bazooka joe style pink bubblegum. My guess is whoever invented bubblegum used this as a base.

Trip To Letchworth With Joe's Family

We had a picnic at Letchworth on Friday with (e:joe)'s family. I'm so sad we missed the pool closing time. If you have not been to that pool, you have to check it out.

We play some glow bocce, ate lots of delicious foods and mad snores. We also made friends with a wild cat.

Bike Riding

We rode all over in the evening this week. The bike ride to windmill pt in Canada is the best. Its a nice ride along a beautiful trail. The best part is being able to cut in front of the cars at the Canadian border.

Presque Isle Beach

(e:joe) and I hit the beach on Saturday. The water there is so much cleaner than here. I wish it was close by but then it would be disgusting.

Natures Septum Grass

I should sell the free range, organic, bio degradable grass blade septum jewelry on etsy. I bet I could make a fortune.

Bass Mountain 2015

The music was really fun, dancing outside by fire was awesome though I wish there was a single flat area to dance.

By far my favorite DJ was Twist. Both of his sets night and morning were amazing. I actually woke up to his morning set and left the tent to dance.

It was nice to see (e:yesthatcasey) after a long hiatus and to hang out with (e:uchina) and Liz.

It was also fun hanging out with Tom again and meeting his friend Tony.

The only thing I would have done different next time would be to get more videos and to not stay right in between the stages as it made a pretty crazy blend of music.
