This past weekend I had the opportunity to cook a dish that I hadn’t made for the better part of a year. Last fall, I tried making it for the first time and really liked it. It combines seafood, fresh veggies, and cheese – what’s not to love about it?!? I had also never used […]

Adirondack White Water Rafting
This past weekend we headed up to the northeast of Ithaca a few hours to spend a night at the Lewey Lake campground, near Speculator, NY, which we followed up with a day of white water rafting down the Indian and Hudson rivers in the beautiful Adirondacks. Both Jeney and I have been rafting in […]
Agava Restaurant – Ithaca, NY
We stopped by Agava on a Wedensday night and had a great surprise – a new restaurant in Ithaca with good service and great food! We went in around 7pm and while it was busy it wasn’t too crowded, always a nice thing. We put our names in and were told it would be about 10 minutes […]
Catharine Valley Half Marathon, Watkins Glen, NY
This past weekend we went over one lake to Watkins Glen to run the Catharine Valley Half marathon with a few friends. This was a “last minute” plan as our marathon training guide called for a half marathon – we looked around and found this one and decided to sign up. It turned out to […]
Adirondacks Ragnar Relay Prep
The clock is ticking towards the 2012 Adirondacks Ragnar – we’ve been getting our mileage up in preparation for this race, and for the Green Mt marathon a few weeks after the relay. It has been pretty warm for our long Saturday runs and that has definitely been affecting me. Although we are good about […]
Easy Grilled Shrimp Recipe
Yesterday I had the chance to grill a couple of pounds of shrimp – something I haven’t done in a long time. I took a look at some recipes for a quick brush on sauce and ended going with a quick and easy to make marinade. The original recipe called for fresh ingredients and a […]
The Gang Goes To Philly
This past weekend Jeney and I went to visit a friend in Philly – they are moving to Jersey next week and this was our last chance to see them in the city – and to have a free place to stay in Philidelphia! I had never been to Philly before, and Jeney had been […]
Forest Frolic – Virgil, NY
This past Sunday we ran the Finger Lakes Runng Club’s “Forest Frolic” 15k trail run – what a run! To properly set the story, I need to back up 2 days. It was Friday, I had a half day off of work and was feeling pretty good. So, in my heightened spirits, I decide that […]
2012 Boilermaker – Utica, NY
This past weekend was the 35th annual Boilermaker road race. Jeney and I signed up too late (I might have procrastinated a little too long…) to run the 15k, but we did get in to the 5k. We had 3 friends that were registered for the 15k; we piled in to the 4runner and headed […]
Making Our Own Blackboard Wall
I’ve wanted to try making my own blackboard / chalkboard wall for a while now and Jeney was more than happy to help out – she likes blackboards more than whiteboards. I had read on several different blogs and various websites that the optimum recipe was 1 tbsp of unsanded tile grout per 1/2 cup […]
