best & worst

Out of a total of 371 cities ranked by the FBI in June 06 - Amherst, NY was ranked 2nd least dangerous city & Buffalo, NY ranked among the worst coming in @ #340 !!!
Atlanta came in @ #355, DC came in @ #353. Compton,CA - Camden,NJ - Flint,MI - Detroit & St.Louis came in as the 5 most dangerous cities.
hmmm... I was going 2 head 2 ATL next but maybe it's safer to be a soccer mommy in Amherst (not that I'm a mommy yet or into soccer & minivans!!!

Please Taste Italy For Me...

Right now I would love to hop a plane and head to Italy and end the Month of October with fireworks & vino!
Being that this is not a feasible option (at least not this weekend) I will have to insert substitutions instead. So I found this recipe in the progress of my searching for flights and hotels in Italy.
Lush Pears & Vino = Yum!

Pere da Lucca

As Italians love to eat only seasonal fresh produce, it is always wonderful to see how creatively they utilize what comes from the trees and ground of their garden. We know that Autumn produces abundantly for our primi and secondi piatti, but what shall we have for desert, dear? Aahh...may we suggest La Pere da Lucca?

This is an Autumn dish which may easily put people in their grave happily. Yes, "a dish to die for." Pears cooked in red table wine, served cool with fresh whipped cream.

Ingredients:

Peeled pears
Bottle of cheap red wine
Sugar and cinnamon
Whip cream

Peel your pears (and make sure you pick ripe ones), as many as you want. Throw them in a pot, cover with red wine and cook until they are soft, Throw into the pot some sugar, cloves and cinnamon - as much as you want. Turn the pears so that all sides get equal treatment. By the time the pears are finally soft you will have boiled the wine mixture down to a wonderful thickened sauce for later use. Let this whole thing cool before eating. Serve with fresh whipped cream on the side (don't you even think about that Cool Whip or that canned crap!). Spoon a little of the sauce over the pears when serving.

Now you are ready to die.

I thought of (e:Paul) (e:Matt) & (e:Terry) & their grand harvest of Pears courtesy of the pretty trees in the rear garden.

I hate them so much!!! They have no idea.
No slap in the face or tossed drink in the face, mean words, or devious acts could ever convey the overall disgust that I have for each and every one of them! FUCKERS!
