Last night we headed over to my parents' for Daniel's 18th birthday. It was actually on June 1st, but they were in NYC for the Colbert Report and Daily Show that weekend.

My mom made kebobs, quinoa and fruit salad, stuffed shells, and then we had three different desserts. I tried to make goat cheese brownies, but the goat cheese I bought had thyme in it. Instead, I just made regular ones.


The grass I planted last year is sort of alive!

Cake - I wish I recorded it because birthday cake and candles makes Midnight bark along to "happy birthday"

Basra is a lot smarter than you'd think. I came home to find that he has moved the canoe right up against the wood barrier and started banging it open. Soon enough he'll be able to climb out if we don't reinforce it - he can't be tamed.


He's also a huge bastard. He ripped open this bag of wood chips and spread it all over the yard.

Last night, (e:terry) and I made burritos again, and had dinner with (e:heidi), (e:dianne) and (e:yesthatcasey). They turned out even better than last time I think - I really need to switch my protein source to more beans.







In the morning, Terry showed me how to make his cheesy eggs.

Saturday night after dinner, we headed out with (e:mike), Mickey, and (e:flacidness). We went to Q and Cathode - both were kind of lame, but I still had fun anyone. Mike put on a fashion show at Cathode.

Later we went home and hung out with Brandon and Ben, the Block Club guys. It ended up with a rooftop sunrise. Not sure how it got that late that fast. (e:terry) and I had a interesting time up there though.

After gardening all morning and afternoon, we headed up to Fort Erie to cool off at Windmill Point. The weather was perfect for it (minus the swarms of bugs on the way back).


Riding over to Canada - the construction closed the one sidewalk, it was nice to see the view on the other side


(e:paul) wanted to stop and swim at this beach on the bike path. Until we walked down and smelled this water

This ultra modern house was being constructed in Ft. Erie. It has a cantilevered second floor jutting out towards the lake.

The water was a mix of warm and cold, but very clean.

I think the best view of Buffalo is from Fort Erie. It looks so much more dense and tree-d than it actually is.
