Unbalanced
Category: houses

This is the back of a house near (e:Heidi)'s. Theft window placement is so unbalanced it makes me think it was larger before or something.

Yeah - it does look odd. I noticed when I was helping (e:Heidi) move.

Swimming at the beach
Category: swimming

I am so glad I got to go swimming. I have no pictures but (e:heidi,52672) , took some. Just like when it is warm out and the super shallow is super warm, today that part was super cold. Once it was deep enough to swim in the water was about the same as usual. The water temp doesn't fluctuate as fast as the air. It was so great to swim without the lifeguards present. You could actually go out to where you could swim instead of wade.

I really feel like they need to change the whole system during the summer. Make it swim in the lines in for protection or swim outside at your own risk. Even if it is 18 and over something but I would really like somewhere you could just go out and full on swim. Seems like every other city on water has beaches like that. It makes me hate Buffalo sometimes.

Well that swimming out side of the lines at your own risk wouldn't work. What is a lifeguard to do just watch you drown? Even though it says at your own risk if they could save you morally they are obligated to. But also legally I think they would be also. If you want to swim you can do so between those lines though. Hope everyone had a good time!

The Steer Restaurant
Category: food

Tried to go to Pho 99 for dinner last night but it was closed so we went to the Steer. I had never been there for dinner. By the sign on the outside that said, steaks, ribs, fresh seafood and the name Steer, I got the idea that it was a steakhouse.

However, the menu inside has no steak or ribs but instead a bunch of tasty small size tapas style foods. Thats a seriously change.

I mean it tasted delicious and I would totally go back but it was definitely not filling like the steak I wanted ever the whole day of hiking. I had the lamb burger, the calamari in lime chili sauce (amazing) and the fig proscuitto pizza.

Update: They own Dug's Dive and the Lake Effect Diner too

Dug's Dive is definitely one of my favorites in town. I heard this year it will be open year round.

I added their current menu to this blog. You can now uploads PDFs to estrip.

Ya, times are changing (e:tinypliny). I think they might have had things you might eat. They even had a fig and carmelized onion pizza like fiddleheads but they added proscuitto, which I am sure you could of have removed.

Steer Restaurant. Are we being clear?

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.

lilho - 09/09/10 14:10
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?
