Now it thinks I'm in New York City.

Now it doesn't know if I'm in NYC or Rochester!
I have not looked anything Rochestery up since
the Penn Yan phenomenon.

Something got into its little pea brain that made it think you wanted to
be in Rochester.

One problem is that its little pea brain is no doubt
connected to someone else's larger brain. Do a simple
experiment, Google "weather here" without quotation
marks. It would be interesting to see where your cookies
and things imply you are (I have cookies and trackers
supposedly turned off, but that's not working so well).

That sounds to be a weak connection about to go. Perhaps
something needs soldering.

Steve would have to check that out; it's nothing I'd know where to to
look for.

It sounds annoying enough so somebody has to look.

Keuka Lake is kind of nice if cold.

Like about all of the Finger Lakes. The camp had a pool so we didn't have to deal with cold water for swimming.

I'm not so sure that with my heart I should be jumping
into a lake, though people may want me to.

I did enough times as a kid that I can pass on it now.

It turns out what my friends consider swimming most
often consists of wading in gradually, acclimating to
the cold water, possibly getting all the way in and
possibly not. It turns out too that zebra mussels have
invaded the lakes to the degree that you have to wear
shoes to go out into the water at all!

German-style Riesling. And needs exercise.

I'd pass on both the wine and the hike. A shorter walk, maybe, but

not a > 6 hour one.
My record was 24 trail miles with a sizable mountain
in one dawn to dusk go, but I used to be in shape.

I've not done that much of a hike in one day. The right knee has been
less than great since my freshman year in college (major traumatic
injury) and my folks were never into serious hiking when I was a kid.

That and everything associated with it are over anyway.
That particular hike involved peak-bagging Owl's Head,
a massive slog that involved 6 miles (3 in and 3 out) of
essentially road walk to a public campground, 12 to 15 miles
of not too difficult trail, much on old logging roads, and
the rest a steep but easy bushwhack through mostly fairly
open woods and past a natural phenomenon known by the
puerile name Peeing Rock. Also several generally easy
stream crossings, only one was swollen from recent rains
and which I fell in, landing on my back. If I'd landed
on my front, things might have been fairly difficult for
a while.

We trust your tastes and local knowledge.

OK, we're going to check out some seafood places.

That sounds good, but one thing crossed my mind; if
people really want prime rib, we can do it ourselves
given enough oven space.

We have a standard range but if people want to try grilling beef, we've several options there.

I suppose one could grill a rib roast to good effect.

A grain or two of salt helps also. (G)

I'd prefer low-sodium insurance.

That's why I said only a grain or two, not a shaker full. (G)

I wonder how that idiom came about.

Haven't the foggiest notion!

Well, it's an ancient Latin locution, but that
begs the question.

We also had The Highway (C&W, from Nashville) on for a bit. Heard

Scotty > McCreery, the young man from Garner that won American Idol
back in 2010 > do several numbers. Some good music, but a lot of repetiton on that station.
That's how hits are made.

Some numbers were pretty good, others, pretty forgettable.

De gustibus and all that.

Crispy Chicken Cheesy Gringa

Looks good but would leave off the cilantro or just have it

available > for those who wanted it.
It's easy to omit and easy to add for those who miss
it. I've discovered in my old age that though I don't
really like the stuff, I tolerate it much better than
before. What's odd is that I am beginning to dislike
regular parsley almost as much.

Probably had it as one garnish too many.

Sprigs are easy. It's the chopped and strewn all
over the place that gets irritating.

Title: Kathy Pitts' Breakfast Tacos
Categories: Mexican, Breakfast
Yield: 4 servings

1 md Potato, boiled and cut
-into chunks or grated
4 sl Bacon
4 Eggs, lightly beaten
4 Flour tortilla

Place bacon in a cold pan, and cook until almost crisp. All the fat
should be rendered. Remove bacon from pan, and drain.

Place potato chunks in the pan, and cook, turning occasionally, until
well browned and crisp. Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces, and add to
potatoes. Immediately pour eggs over the potato/bacon mixture, and
cook, stirring frequently, until soft-scrambled.

Spoon mixture into heated flour tortillas, and roll or fold.

Serve with pico de gallo, hot sauce, chopped cilantro, jalapeno
peppers to be added as desired.

In actuality, the filling can be darn near anything you have handy
(eggs optional). Leftover fajitas are great, as is Mexican-style
chorizo (which makes the greasiest breakfast tacos known to man, if
you don't drain the cooked chorizo mixture VERY well before adding
the eggs). Cheese may be added to the mixture, or sprinkled on the
cooked ingredients before rolling.

Not sure why this recipe qualifies as "diabetic". It has a small carb
count. There seems to be only six cups of liquid, plus what ever is in

number of vegetables including several starchy ones.

Somebody thought, since it was low in so many categories, that it would
be good for diabetics. Looks like it could use some more herbs/spices to
raise the taste level a notch or two.

So many people like bland food.......... We were at Sam's Club today
picking up a few things & one of the demo carts had honey (?) siracha
corn for taste testing. I tried it, not worth buying. A fair amount of
heat but little taste of anything else.

invaded the lakes to the degree that you have to wear
shoes to go out into the water at all!

While the Pond is spring-fed, and thus generally pretty cold, this week
it's been quite pleasant, what I term "bathwater" as it really doesn't
take time to acclimate to it at this temperature... :) And,
thankfully, we have no zebra mussels here yet (and hopefully not ever)..
Even a couple of weeks ago, when it was cooler, I did a proper swim...
all the way in, and stay there for a while.. Granted, today's swim was
at least twice as long... I hated to get out.... :)

We trust your tastes and local knowledge.

OK, we're going to check out some seafood places.
