Pear Time
Category: food
The wind blew all the pears down. I am kind of sad because they weren't ripe yet and because they have the stupid blight. Luckily, the blight is only on the skin and the pears will ripen soon enough even off the tree.

Its going to be a while before these can be used for anything. They are very unripe right now.

Ham Parfait
Category: food
I tried to post this earlier but my connection died. Seriously, this ham parfait was so gross.

all they need to do is add some whipped cream and caramel sauce on top...
lilho - 09/09/10 14:10
ok, i love meat and cheese, but this is wrong!
jbeatty - 09/06/10 08:38
Did someone dare you to eat that or something?

Griffis Sculpture Park
Category: hiking
I really enjoyed the day at Griffis Sculpture Park with (e:matthew), (e:enknot), (e:keithT), (e:terry) and I went out down to the park.

(e:keith) had a hard time getting 3g so he went to the top of the tower
image

The white flowers are awesome.
image

Keith looks like he is having fun.
image

This is matthew from the tower
image

This statue was gigantic.
image

The palette hive was awesome. It seems like they nailed it together and then shaved it with a chain saw.
image

(e:keith) really loves a handful of metal
image

here is (e:Terry) as a monkey, you should have seen (e:keith)'s reach
image

(e:Terry) and (e:enknot) in a tree

Here is the KML file to track our path through the woods. I figured it would almost be impossible to find some of the stuff again without it. I forgot to track the part from the parking lot to the cement bags sculpture, the place where I started recording.

Also looks like it was a good time, heard rumors that many brain cells died up there from lots of parting over the years
tinypliny - 09/06/10 12:44
It looks pretty morbid and disturbed.
paul - 09/06/10 11:25
Totally creepy. (e:keith) tried to convince me they killed hikers and stored them inside the statues.
jbeatty - 09/06/10 08:39
Such a fun hike. The heads all the way back in the woods are a little creepy though.

injera and grapes
Category: rochester
I ate so many grapes at the Eastman house. Then we went out for Ethiopean vegan food. Not my favorite but not terrible although I am not a fan of the ace bandage resembling injera bread which is made of formented Teff. What it really needed was like goat or Lamb. I love that my phone thinks Lamb needs to be capitalized. I concur.

I really want to make injera someday but it's tough to get right.
tinypliny - 09/04/10 21:31
You went to my favourite Ethiopian restaurant after a stroll through my favourite cemetary. My eyes have turned an unhealthy hue of green.

If there are two things I really miss, it's my almost daily walk through this beautiful and awe-inspiring cemetery and the HUGE summer farmer's market in Rochester.
uncutsaniflush - 09/04/10 22:39
It's one of my favie cemeteries in the world. And certainly my favie in Western NY.
tinypliny - 09/04/10 21:29
That's Mt. Hope Cemetery! You are in Rochester!
