Our yard in Newton is not as large as the one we had in Southboro, but it still holds a clambake.
Taza
The Taza Chocolate Company in Somerville, MA makes Mexican-style stone-ground chocolate. It’s not for everyone, but I like it.
It’s even more important to support this local company right now because their brand-new factory was recently flooded by excessive rain.
Storm
Thunderstorm over downtown Boston this afternoon.
I missed getting a lightning strike in this photo by less than half a second.
Nice evening
Finally some nice enough weather to sit outside before dinner with a glass of wine.
Thunderstorms
I wanted to get a picture of the storm tonight. Alas, it was too dark. So I’m making do with a picture of the weather radar.
BBQ suitcase
For those times when just dumping your existing long-handled spatula, tongs, etc. into a bag just isn’t good enough.
Event
I went to the food/wine tasting for Rachel & Fred’s upcoming reception today. Which was announced on the hotel’s event system.
Hot
At 10:30 pm this is just wrong:
Cicada
I was all set to post the one picture I took today, of a foggy day in Quincy. When I sat down on the hammock swing to do so, I saw the following molted cicada skin and had to go get the big camera.
Wok
One of the culinary sources I respect (Cooks Illustrated) does not like the wok for American kitchens because we don’t have the stovetop firepower to use one effectively. I, on the other hand, spent a fairly ridiculous amount of money on a good stove. I did so in part so I can use my 20-year-old $15 wok.
