my day so far…

Let me just get you up to speed on how may day is going so far…. 1ts 12.35pm and I just got out of the bath…. yes the bath. 1. another damn stupid bird down the chimney, more screaming 2. I think I hit a mole over the head with a shovel, more screaming 3. […]

local news…

Here’s a couple of tidbits dished up out of the local paper, The Catskill Mountain News…. umm thanks for keeping our kids safe, here’s  your crappy cafeteria thank you meal…. and this other little nugget of kookiness…. say what??

pass the pesto

Pesto is on my list of MUST HAVES to be lurking around in the bottom of the fridge, waiting for it’s opportunity to add some pizazz.  Its a whiz to make (literally), with a handful of ingredients that you should have in the pantry any old day of the week.  That sad looking bunch of […]

lamingtons

Mr Weiss thinks it’s hilarious to call these “lammykins”, I’m not sure exactly why, but I’ve found it’s better not to question some things…. hold that,  he’s just informed me that when I first mentioned these he thought I was saying “lammykins” not “lamingtons”, must be the accent thing. Ahhh what can I say about […]

burnt, damn birds and trees trees and more stinkin trees

Okay so hands up who got sun burned over the weekend? Come on be honest…. you did didn’t you, yes you did I can see the screaming angry red skin from here.  Yes we did get burned, no we weren’t wearing sunblock and yes we do have ridiculous matching t-shirt tans.  My hair spared me […]

lazy days….

I gave this to Mr Weiss 2 Christmas’s ago…. but we have only had the house for 1 Christmas….hee hee hint hint, well he hardly thought we’d hang it in the apartment now did he?  Oh no I can hear my friend Maggie chanting “it’s a bowling ball, it’s another bowling ball named Homer!” and […]

un focused

I am in love with my sx70, even if you have to practically mortgage your home to buy film.  But one of them (I have two) has some wacky focusing mind of its own…. you never really know what your going to end up with,  a photographic lucky dip or a complete and utter crap […]

rampant

I had to race back into town for a quickie… job that is, so I dusted off me ole granny cart,  listen if you constantly carry copious amounts of crap from one end of Manhattan, to the tuther… then you too would be marching on over to your local hardware store and picking up the […]

animal, vegetable…. blah de blah

I started reading this…. and I have to say my confidence is plummeting, I may even be on the verge of freaking out man!   I mean I’m only a chapter or so in and Barbara is talking about growing asparagus, which takes LIKE EONS, before you can get your choppers around it, so that’s most […]

beer bread

I’m so flippin impressed right now…. yip I also just gave myself a massive pat on the back, although I’m not entirely sure why,  its not like it’s my creation.  Recently I got my hands on me Nan’s one and only salvaged recipe book and man then are some real nuggets of goodness tucked in […]
