Holy hot, huh? I know I've mentioned before that for some unknown reason (general contentment, perhaps?) the heat isn't really bothering me this summer. Actually, I've kind of enjoyed it. That being said, getting out of Albany and into the hill towns holds a certain appeal on a 90+ degree day and a recent trek … Continue reading Thompson’s Lake

Commencing…
Yes, Q, I feel the same way.I'm not gifted when it comes to mathematics, (unless you need to know what 20% of a check is), but, for what I believe to be the only time ever, all three Lilly boys celebrated commencement milestones this month.

There are so many places that I'm interested in trying, all within 25 or 30 miles, that I could probably schedule a Dining Staycation quarterly without exhausting anything other than my American … Continue reading Cella Bistro lunch
Miss Sydney’s Indu Chutney
I found an unopened jar of this delectable, locally made chutney in my refrigerator the other day and immediately opened it to enjoy with some takeout Indian food. I imagine I originally purchased it at either the Honest Weight or the Troy Farmer's market - either that or the chutney fairy visited my house while I … Continue reading Miss Sydney’s Indu Chutney
