Kristen Roby, the resident food blogger on my local newspaper’s web site, has been blogging recently about meat cakes. These are food items that look like cakes but are actually meat. While I was unsure of the idea, they look great and probably taste good – as long as you are not the person who… Continue reading Cakes – or maybe not?
Niagara Gorge Last Sunday, I took my first hike down the Niagara Gorge to river level. The hike went between Devil’s Hole State Park and Whirlpool State Park. I didn’t do the entire 14 plus miles but did half of the hike and then went back up. All the pics in the slide show are… Continue reading Niagara Gorge
As gas drops in price slightly where I live, it does not seem that there is a corresponding drop in grocery prices. Our groceries have to get to the store somehow and when it is via truck, the cost of transportation has to be involved in that price. I subscribe – a friend who is… Continue reading Budget Shopping
Earlier this summer, my soon-to-be 18 year old son passed his licensing exam and is a licensed driver. Granted, since he did not take driver’s education anywhere, he cannot drive after 9 pm except when coming home from work or school but that is only until he turns 18 in two months’ time.

She also typed – yes, it was the day and age of typing – many pages of her favorite recipes which I still… Continue reading Granola
While at the Binghamton Mets game last night, I took a few shots of the sky – both before sunset and as the sun was setting. Check out the gallery below.

I do like going to these games, although they now make me feel slightly older than they use to as the players tend to be the same age as my children. My 21 year old… Continue reading August 13th’s B Mets Game
Road Trip! And with no medical emergency that I know of at the moment. I am heading out about 5 am on this Friday for Niagara Falls for the weekend. I am going to have dinner in Lewiston and go down to the Falls – maybe even at night. Falls in Oct 2007 If… Continue reading Road Trip
Georgia Graham is in need of a kidney transplant. She is eligible for one in all ways but one – she needs to save $4000 prior to being made active on the transplant list at the Medical College of Georgia. You may wonder why someone with insurance or even with Medicare needs to have money to have… Continue reading Georgia Graham – Kidney Transplant Hopeful
Yes, I run the television while I read the local newspaper online each morning and go through my personal emails. I even run it as I work each for “background” noise if I am not in the mood for music that particular day. This morning The CBS Early Show interviewed Tim Stark. Not a household… Continue reading Heirloom Tomatoes
