So my computer thinks I'm in Penn Yan, which oddly is
where I'm going on July 4. Somebody must have looked
up something on this system, and it stuck. Other than
Crazy computer! (G) I worked at the Salvation Army camp outside of Penn
Now it thinks I'm in New York City.
Yan one summer while a college student. Stopped by on the way south once
but it was between sessions and just about deserted.
Keuka Lake is kind of nice if cold.
my checking to see how long a walk it would be from
there to Konstantin Frank's winery (6 hrs) I've not
been focused on that part of the world.
Probably not worth it.
Depends on how much one appreciates
German-style Riesling. And needs exercise.
BTW, a change in plans for the picnic. We went to the place that has
prime rib the other night, got there about 7 pm and they said they'd
been sold out since 5:30. They don't take reservations either so we're looking around for another place to take the group on Friday night.
We trust your tastes and local knowledge.
I usually try to stick close to the recipe for something new. Then

Critical thinking always. So many recipes just don't
add up as published or publicized. I'd suggest that a
good dose of skepticism would do a wonder of insurance.
A grain or two of salt helps also. (G)
I'd prefer low-sodium insurance.
Lilli finally got rid of Sirius, which she'd been
paying a fair amount for. Silence is a wonderful
thing, though I'm concerned about her staying awake
and paying attention while driving.
Steve likes talk radio to help keep him awake. He can always argue back
to the host (or a caller) to help stay awake. This most recent trip we
used a mix of talk radio, old time radio, Christian music radio and our
own music mix on the way south. Coming back, it was just the first and
last of that list, more of the latter than the former.
Lilli would have Symphony Hall on when she picked
me up; once in a while she'd slip up and have one
of her own favored channels on (like the Shipps, she
likes country music; she's partial to Jimmy Buffett).
I'd rather have justice than retribution.
Retribution is an emotional thing. Justice, I
figure it's an intellectual construct and not
more, though I believe it would be a good idea.
It can be a good thing, if used properly.
If traditional methods of deterrence work.
Title: Layered Mexican Dip
This is more gringo than Mexican. (G)
Gringo too is mostly a gringo term.
True, but an apt description.
Crispy Chicken Cheesy Gringa

h - Crispy Chicken
1 whole roasted chicken, shredded
4 Tb canola oil

Toss and cook for another 10 min. or until crispy.
To make the gringas, place a tortilla butter side
down on a cutting board or plate. Fill half of the
tortilla with the sliced Monterey Jack, then chicken
