Last night before peter got home I went to watch tv that he wont sit through, which means either E! or the disney channel really. What I came across was "the dish"...a new to me show on E! which is like "the soup" but girly-er from what I could tell.
the weirdest part is that Topanga from boy meets world is the hostess of the show! Does that seem weird to anyone else??? Also i'm not sure she's good either. I cant tell if i'm not use to seeing her in this setting, or if she's just a bad actress...maybe i'll watch again to see.

Roadkill
OK here is what I don't get, why is the road kill always on the side of the road?
Do people swerve onto the shoulder to hit the animals?
Do people hit the animals on major highways and then stop their car and move it to the side of the road?
Do they hire people to move them to the side of the road?
If its the last one why don't they dispose of the animal instead so that people don't have to see bloody split apart animals? Alternately if its the second one that doesn't seem very safe to me for a number of reasons. And the first one doesn't seem likely because I don't think that many people have trouble staying on the main parts of the road.....which brings me back to my first question: how does it get there???

Red Sox in Boston
Part Three of my vacation.
We ended up in Boston for the end of our vacation to go to a sox game at Fenway. As always it was awesome. What helped is that we also won the game :)
Unfortunately nomar wasn't playing for Oakland that day :( I've attempted to see Nomar TWICE in the past few years and both times i see him get out of the dugout and take a few practice swings while the last out is at bat and the game is over.
I guess the big question now is will I watch the allstar game this week?

on to new hampshire
We spent a night in New Hampshire.
First we went to the anheisier Bush brewery. it was HUGE. I've been to many breweries before, but never any on this scale. The closest was the harpoon brewery and that was like 1/8th of the size of this if not less. There was one room of vats, and there were like 20 or so vats, and each one could make enough beer for someone to drink one six pack a day for 108 years. Crazy huh?
The tasting room at this brewery was terrible though. I mean i know, its bud light and similar, but generally when you are at a brewery and its fresh its awesome. Not here, i don't think it was fresh either, i think it was just one of their kegs or something. We tried the new American ale, the beach bum blond beer, and stella and shock top b/c we knew we liked them. Moral of the story is that anheisier bush products suck no matter what....but people will keep drinking it anyway.

Weddings, Baseball, and Roadtrips Oh my
As usual I'll write my long blog in a few installments. Congratulations to Annie and Chris and Karlyn and Rey.
Annie and Chris's wedding was a lot of fun. They unfortunately had some unplanned rain in the middle of the ceremony, but the party was a lot of fun and even included the hora! It was nice seeing a bunch of friends from home and a bunch of DC friends all together.
To me the most amusing part was after the party ended peter had scouted out a cute place for us, so we went to the little gazebo behind the party and were kissing just when maybe 20 people or so came outside. Peter and I were still wearing our glow sticks so we were busted. They all started yelling "Is that Chris and Annie?". It was all the employees from the hotel setting off one single firework before they ran back inside to clean up. It was pretty embarrassing.

Jams and Preserves
Last night Puja and I went to one of the sur la table cooking classes and it was awesome! I am so pumped to make more!
* Pickled Okra - These came out really well, but i'm not a huge okra fan. They did suggest putting them in bloody mary's instead of the celery which sounds more than awesome so I'll probably have a party just so we can do that some time
* Bread and Butter Pickels - These were good for bread and butter pickels, but i dont like that type of pickel anyway, i prefer the dill pickels
* Blackberry Jam with Grand Mariner - This was AWESOME. We served it over chocolate ice cream, but as we were eatting it I thought of a million other uses.
* Peach and Vanilla Jam - This one was pretty good, but i dont really like vanilla as much as most people so I probably wont re make this
* Nectarine and Raspberry Jam - This was awesome and i went right home and made it but replaced the raspberry with blueberry.
So what i'm saying is that if you are invited over some time soon its probably b/c i want to try out my new cooking skills on you :)
