When you're tired of trying to find a chickpea that probably rolled under the fridge (evidence inconclusive, but it's a small kitchen and that was its trajectory) and you're already on the floor... sometimes the next best course of action is to go chill with your housepanther for a while. 🐈‍⬛

Basil vinaigrette. Get into it. Not just for caprese panzanella, which is my number one way to eat it, but for any summer salad or as a sandwich drizzle that will soak into bread and drive you wild.
🍃
Plus, it's way less annoying than eating whole basil leaves. (Is that just my pet peeves?) Link in bio!

I took the liberty of tweaking the chorus lyrics to make it even more appropriate for our Annual Lakeside Weekend Anthem.

For much of the 20th century, a charming group of brick barns and clapboard houses in Clifton, NJ was known as the "Ellis Island for Animals."
🐂
It was actually the US Dept of Agriculture's animal quarantine station, where both quotidian animals like cattle, sheep, and horses as well as exotic animals like giraffes and muskoxen were temporarily housed.
🦒
Today the buildings have been adaptively reused by the city into an arts center, senior center, recycling facility, and more - and the complex just happens to be in our neighborhood!

Just keeping an eye out for Gozer the Gozerian, the Keymaster, the Gatekeeper, and any inter-dimensional portals that might be opening up in Dana Barrett's apartment building.... 😈👻🚫
(The real building is at 55 Central Park West, even though it's numbered as 550 CPW in Ghostbusters.)

We finally have the appropriate headgear for our annual sour cherry picking day, thanks to the Traverse City Pit Spitters! (And our amazing friends @slipkase and @bruinlauren, who gifted them to us.)
🍒⚾🧢
Sour cherry season has just begun here in the Northeast, so if you are lucky enough to have a pick-your-own orchard near you, get out there and grab a few pounds.
🍒
We are loyal to Battleview Orchards in Freehold, NJ, which is on the site of the Revolutionary War's famous Battle of Monmouth! -CB

Lighthouses, lupine, and lilacs... the turn of summer really is our favorite time of year to be in Maine.

Acadia was surprisingly crowded for a rainy Memorial Day weekend, so we took the trails less traveled to the summit of Dorr Mountain. Gorgeous views of Bar Harbor and the water without the Cadillac congestion, and a kickass scrambly descent through the Gorge Path too! 🪨 -CB
