    It doesn’t just rain, lately

    Every rain event seems to pile up many inches of rain so far this year. Big event in March brought 6″ . . . can’t help but imagine that as snow!

  • Full Moon – somewhere up there.

    Full Moon – somewhere up there.

    So often your cell phone can cover for a real camera – as even seen here, I must be on a month long streak of mobile pics. There are still cases though, where a real camera is preferred. In this case, a better moon shot could have been had – though the impressive ‘night sight’…

    A rather unimpressive winter is making a slow exit. Spring is emerging and ice is still falling. Note that this is 3/23 – as I post this on 4/5, there is still some wet snow floating around. None of it ever impressive.. just enough to be sloppy. Also cool from this day – looking up:

    From the Boardwalk

    The kids’ new school is part of the “Boardwalk Campus”. We literally use a boardwalk to access it from the neighborhood. It looks nice, and provides some nice views over the water.

    Some great colors somewhere between the moon and the clouds.

  • Irish Roots

    Irish Roots

    My genetics say I’m 59% British & Irish. So – I am obligated to make soda bread on 3/17 right? It didn’t look as good as the recipe at Food & Wine but proved to be terrific smothered in butter. Shocker! Oh and here’s a St. Patrick’s Day throwback..

  • Not pictured – cheese

    Not pictured – cheese

    Having a delicacy like Taylor Ham available at 2 of the grocery stores I visit (I visit quite a few, I won’t lie!) makes weekends salty in a great way. THE&C never gets the stink eye! This batch was distributed on Bays English Muffins, with some sliced cheddar and Sriracha. Kim’s was served with another…

    Colorful fire

    Don’t know what’s in these logs, but they sure but on a show.

  • Fire roasted

    Fire roasted

    Such a common marketing term for food lately. Well here’s a real example! Peppers on the grill for fajitas.
