The one on the right is what locals drink, the one of the left is for the after life…..
Pass the bread
JMan tried his hand at baking a few weeks ago and I forgot to post the results.
It was a good effort but I think leaving the dough overnight in fridge overnight was it’s downfall….let’s just say it was a bit doughy! However, that didn’t stop us from scarfing it down…something about warm bread!
Random weekend photos
JMan and I had breakfast at the club this am and tried some archery afterwards. I was very impressed with J’s skills and he proudly announced that he had lots of experience from summer camp. I never shot a compound bow before…..and I may have found yet another hobby.
Later we went skating, well JMan did and I watched.
Yup, it’s colder
Really…didn’t I say I wanted the number to get higher.
Yup, it’s cold
Just for clarity: The number on the right is what I want it to be!
Snowy Road
This is Ragged Mountain Road (Danbury NH) as we headed home yesterday. Certainly brings new meaning to “keep her between the uprights“. It was a long drive…but a safe one.
Ragged Mountain
First snowboarding trip of the season. Got JMan his season pass thanks to Zimmerman’s in Nashua NH, GMan and I had discounted tickets via Liftopia.
It started snowing when we left home and snowed the whole way up. The mountain was very quite and remained quite all day. Boarding got better and better but a dozen or so runs later we are cooked. I feel my 4 month absence from the gym!
The boys at the bottom.
GMan and I taking a pit stop on the way down. As you can see we have the whole place to ourselves.
Great place, great day, great company, we’ll be back.
Bubble boy
Remember when the package is more fun!
Happy Hanukkah
I know I’m late, but Happy Hanukkah. And yes, I’m missing one night. You figure out which one!
Kitchen gadget queen
My dear wife has many titles and this one is especially appropriate. Not that she spends quality time on QVC but every kitchen store from Target to William Sonoma is prime pickings. This Hanukkah a new gadget was mentioned as a possible gift. The item in question is an Instant Pot.
A quick search resulted in many choices and many more gushing reviews with all manner of tasty meals cooked in minutes. What could be better, except someone other than us doing the cooking, or perhaps a phone and a credit card….which is dead handy for whipping up a meal. Basically an instant pot is a modern pressure cooker that won’t blow a hole in your kitchen ceiling.
Anyhow, always one for a bargain (remind me to tell you about the time I tried to bargain with a cashier over the price of a gallon of milk) I found one on sale at Target, better yet in NH so sorry MA I’ll keep the 6.5!
Tonight was it’s maiden voyage and Jess decided on chicken. I’m not going to bore you with the entire recipe but 3 minutes a side in the pot, then lock on the top and cook on high for 5 minutes….done!
The results were very good and we were all very impressed with the latest addition to our kitchen gadget family. The naming party is in a few week, watch out for the invite.
It wasn’t as quick as “chicken good” in the Fifth Element, but 11 minutes and only one pot to clean….I’d say it’s a winner.
