What state are you in? Many places have already had snow; NOT the buried in kind, but still....! :-)

I love to read these kinds of books. no matter what the weather is!

Not food, but there are also some really interesting books about absinthe! You might enjoy reading those too.

Beats me.

It’s not on NetFlix, for sure.

Maybe Amazon or Hulu.

Or YouTube.

[nopardons]

I don’t do NetFlix, nor Hulu, so I’ll have to check with Amazon and other sites that sell DVDs, I guess.

Let me know if you need anything. I go often enough. Always come home with some hideously priced fudge, and a little sheep milk cheese.

Have you ever been to the Cabot's Creamery? I was surprised that the cheese is fairly discounted; B/C I thought they would soak the tourists. It's their anniversary and they are making some small batch artisan cheeses, which are delightful.

If you're ever at VCS in Rockingham, you must visit the Rockingham Meeting House; it's a well preserved 19th C building that has frozen in time. Wonderful to stroll through the burying grounds.

Many thanks for the offer, but I just ordered, via phone, as I always do.

I haven't been in Vermont, since I was in college. I don't know why, but even though we have made many trips to Mass., N.H. and Maine, since living in Ct., we somehow never gone there. *shrugs*

Not a big cheese fan, so no, haven't even ever heard of Cabot's Creamery.

Love that picture you posted; it's something out of a time machine! :-)

Back in ‘80 a couple of friends and I went to Glacier Park in MT and crossed over the border for an afternoon to drink in the hotel at Waterton Lake.

It was a kick to see Bud/Bush/Miller/Mic, etc. listed as imported and Moosehead and Molson listed as domestic.

Michigan. And we have had snow but not a Big Snow. The kind where everyone goes out and buys milk, eggs and bread. What I call a French Toast Snow.

I have found that I can't read a book like that at work. It is very bad customer service to ask someone to wait until I finish the chapter on juniper berries. :)

‘Tomato’ is actually a fruit not vegetable.

I think Israeli cuisine is quite influenced by Lebanese one.

[rlmorel]

Heh, I have had that same experience, which is both disorienting and humorous at the same time!
