  2. Not to be outdone, Mechanicsville has their own festival this weekend too
  3. In for Syracuse on Nov. 11th Got sweet seats too!
  4. I posted this recipe about 5 years ago. It's got that autumn heartiness that sticks to your ribs!
  5. If you need some help on the admin side Mike, I'll volunteer.
  6. The title of that album is actually "Feed Us a Fetus". It's a play on words. The cover features Ron and Nancy Reagan eating an fetus.
  7. I've got a bootleg recording of this, with the venue incorrectly listed as "Parliament Hill"!
  8. Ah Velvet, you make me laugh so much! Enjoy the show in Vermont next week. Is that the same venue where TAB played in 2002? I would have tried for tickets but I saw the info too late, and I'm going to the Pearl Jam show here on the same night anyway.
  9. This pot roast recipe reeks of autumn! 1 medium onion 3 garlic cloves 3/4 pound carrots 1/2 pound parsnips 1/2 pound turnips 6 ounces mushrooms a 3-inch piece fresh gingerroot a 28- to 32-ounce can whole tomatoes a 3-pound boneless beef chuck roast 2 tablespoons olive oil 3/4 cup Tawny Port 3/4 cup dry red wine 2 cups beef broth 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar 3 bay leaves 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled 3 tablespoons cornstarch 3 tablespoons water Chop onion and mince garlic. Peel carrots and parsnips and diagonally cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Peel turnips and cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges. Cut mushrooms into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Peel gingerroot and mince enough to measure 1/4 cup. Drain tomatoes and chop. Pat chuck roast dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 5-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown roast on all sides. Transfer roast to a plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from kettle. Add onion to kettle and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add Port and red wine and simmer, scraping up any brown bits on bottom of kettle, 5 minutes. Stir in broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, gingerroot, tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano and bring mixture to a boil. Add roast, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and mushrooms and simmer, covered, turning roast over halfway through cooking time, 3 hours total, or until tender. Pot roast may be made up to this point 3 days ahead. Cool roast, uncovered, before chilling, covered, and remove any solidified fat before reheating. Transfer roast with tongs to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. If necessary skim fat from cooking liquid and bring cooking liquid and vegetables to a boil over moderate heat. In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and water until smooth and stir enough into sauce to thicken to desired consistency. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Cut roast crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a deep platter. Spoon vegetables and sauce over meat.
  10. Check that your Adobe Flash is the latest and greatest version. (that's just a wild guess, but probably worth a try)
  11. Well said. As we get older, time (especially summertime) just seems to pass more quickly.
  12. Totally interested. Someone from CBAN (to be honest, I had to google that) would be an excellent guest speaker. PM on the way.
  13. My recommendation for a guest speaker is the CEO of Monsanto.
  14. My wife and I would be interested in such a seminar, depending on course of where it will be. Keep me posted - thanks! I hate to nit-pick, but "pique" is the proper word to use instead of "peak". Oh, who am I kidding. I love to nit-pick. :laugh:
  15. Totally agreed. Thanks so much Brad for your torrentially wonderful recording!
  16. Good time at the folk festival last night. My only regret was not bringing a jacket. It was nice and warm when I left the house at 6:30 pm, but it certainly got colder after dark! Bruce Hornsby was amazing, thoroughly enjoyed his performance with his top-notch band. Unfortunately we've got other plans tonight and tomorrow, so I'll see y'all there on Sunday!
  17. That was awesome! (my quick review of tonight's show before I catch some Z's - 6:30 comes very early!)
  18. Beef bacon is going to kick turkey bacon's ass!
  19. I'd replace all my stuff in alphabetical order: Abba to ZZ Top.
  20. I hoped that "matter of time" would be somewhat longer than 24 hours. Blatchford's a scumbag.
