Emily's new apartment
Category: friends

Friday night after the Theater drama, (e:Paul) and I headed over to Emily's new apartment. It's a super swank attic place near Elmwood.

Candles keep it classy

Her Jade plants are pretty sweet too.

Carrie and Catherine were there too. We found out Paul's Gear knows what vajazzling is.

Two bottles of wine in, Paul and I went off to Marcella's.

Mike's former arch-enemy was performing. Maybe it was the lack of Gloria, but I wasn't really feeling it.

After Marcella's, we marched on to Cathode. We made a couple new friends, and invited a bunch of people to the Halloween party.

Slow ride
Category: bikes

Take it easy. (e:Paul) and I rode to walk my dog, and then out to Williamsvile to get his MRI CD. He likes to go slow, I like to beat the traffic. We didn't average 20mph, lol.

Despite the fact we drove out in rush hour on Main Street in Williamsville, riding back on Kensington was way more stressful. The drivers coming in were way crazier, and honked and swerved a lot. We also made it through the nussbaumer designed clusterfuck at Kensington and Werhle. Good thing the road is wide enough for us to not get crushed. I hate cars.

The extra hundred thousandth of a foot can make or break a ride!

Joe, I just love the way your cycling computer gives you your altitude to FIVE decimal places ! How's that for German accuracy ?

Jarred tomatoes
Category: food

We got an amazing half bushel of tomatoes from the Clinton Bailey Farmers market. (e:terry) canned them and also made a delicious marinara sauce with them. With the linguini we had string beans, cheesy garlic bread, and salad.

So domestic.

The peels come off the tomatoes easily by boiling them quickly and placing them in ice water

Terry then jarred them

and put them in boiling water for 12 minutes. 14 jars of tomatoes!

wow
perfect

And what's the recipe for the sauce. It's not fair to your readers when you say "Terry made this delicious superawesome thing" and then you leave it at that. I feel very cheated now. :P

I guess my question do you ever get through the last year's stockpile? What do you do with them?

Here is where it all started (e:terry,35618)

Sweetness 7
Category: food

I had only been to Sweetness 7 for the Park in at Parkside event, but we biked over for brunch on Sunday with (e:heidi) and (e:dianne).

The crepes were amazing. They had fresh lemon curd on them which was perfectly sweet. The breakfast sandwiches were great on the everything bagel too. The food took a while to come out because they forgot to put our order in - but we got a free cinnamon roll to make up for it. Awesome.

Wait - (e:Paul) - I see you taking a picture and you didn't post it. *tsk tsk*

Ride to the outer harbor
Category: bikes

Saturday I made (e:paul) and (e:terry) go on a bike ride. It was a perfect day for it. The only bad part was somehow I got a blister on my eye (bug maybe?).

Foto machen!

Someone ripped the flyers off this piece of wood to look like the great lakes

The little industry that's left - wonder what they're unloading

Times beach - I really hope there was an actual water bowl here at some point and they don't want the dogs to drink the gutter watter

Off of Wilkenson Point

Spinny sculptures

Sunsets on the lake - it keeps going down earlier :(

Climbing the boat hatch

(e:terry) joined me

Baby deer on the way home

So where is the picture? Of the blister? May I remind you that with every scenic post, magnified posts of grotesque things are almost mandatory here? Get with the program.
