Buttermilk? I think it was called that.

Corning is super cool.

Ah! The illusion is corrected now. Thanks!

Is that your kid glass-blowing?!

glatt · 08-04-2013, 07:26 PM

Yes! Isn't that cool? $30 to make a Christmas tree ornament of his own design. He chooses the color combination and a few design features, and gets to be right in there with the glass dude right by the furnace and does all the blowing. Has to keep his hands in his lap though. No touching. The guy does all the talent work. I think it's really cool.

Sundae, this is for you. Dinner was across the street from our hotel at the Wegmans supermarket. Tons of choices of various types of food. You pay by the pound. I had some shrimp potstickers, some pork potstickers, a little sweet and sour chicken, a big salad from the bar, and a slice of pizza. Got a bottle of milk too.

Our balcony table had a nice view of the bakery department.

Isn't Wegmans awesome? The brick bakery oven they build into most of their stores is the secret of their fantastic in-house bread. There's a Wegmans 35 miles north of smallville and it's a favorite destination. We can now enjoy a glass of wine or beer with a meal, before setting out to do the grocery shopping.

Water descending photos are amazing.
I read corning as coming. Both sound dirty.
Notice hefty hirsute man with shirt off? I did. My kinda location!

Glass blowing for amateurs - what a fantastic introduction and an excellent experience.
Making a Christmas ornament will always be remembered, even if said item breaks. I want one now (unique Christmas decoration, not a child.)

You go to the top of my Nice Chap list for taking food pics so very soon into your trip.
It looks teh yum. Whip off that cucumber and I think I could eat it, plate and all, within about five minutes. Or I'd eat my hat. No, really. I'm so hungry now I would eat my hat.

Time off for effort expended.
You have a pass for meals which you do not consider noteworthy.
Saying that I'd still love photos of anything from Hot Pockets to champagne and caviar and everything in between.

(Limey did not get this pass because she was on the honest-to-goodness Orient Express)

Yeah, that's right Buttermilk Falls. Nice.

A giant slice of salami in Watkins Glen is attacking my boy!

BigV · 08-05-2013, 11:44 AM

salami monster resembles glass ornament

Sundae · 08-05-2013, 01:56 PM

Salami Monster prompted a loud braying laugh from me. Very unladylike.
