Fall hike at the gorge
Category: hiking
(e:yesthatcasey) joined us for a hike in the falls. I know it still might be warm for a while but with leaves changing, it felt like the beginning of fall.

We say these jet skiers on the rapids. I couldn't believe they just flew over them like the jetboat but they did.

Almost made to the to the ol' Devil's Hole, but it stank a little too much that day.

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.

image
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.

image

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

image
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
tinypliny - 09/26/14 22:36
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)

Its like I married Nonna, just as a younger man.

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.
