The Coffee House

@ Leo: oh, I totally understand that! For the South, we actually had a beautiful spring and early/mid summer. Anything that brings us closer to August without oppressive heat and humidity is welcomed. This week has been the nastiest of the summer, and we're past the halfway mark of the dreaded month - so it's a win!

I have been so so grateful that we've had a very mild summer this year. It's not as bad as the south, but NY summers can be brutal. The word "humid" is woefully inadequate to describe the sensation of swimming through the air for 3 solid months. At least this year the temperatures have stayed relatively low and a lot of cloudy-to-partly-cloudy days so that the sun hasn't gotten too oppressive.

It's a good thing, too, since the 45-year-old central air system decided this was a good year to die Luckily, I grew up learning how to jerry-rig just about anything, so having Anderson windows is not a deterrent to using a portable ac unit

MIL's viewing is Sunday, the internment is on Tuesday; we leave to deliver Lazy-Lobster to Maine after the internment. We're probably going to take the cross sound ferry and stay around new London / Mystic Tuesday night.

I'll probably still be at the hospital with my wife and new child Tuesday and Wednesday, but let me know if you need any local area knowledge!

Yes, speedy recovery and best wishes for all.

I appreciate it. We'll probably just grab dinner, stay overnight and head out in the morning but there's another trip planned for the second week of September.

If that is so you should try some enzyme supplements when you eat cheese.... ;-)

But really: go on a holiday to Switzerland and eat the best fondues and Raclettes of your life. Cheesy and not US cheese, real Suisse made cheese!!!!

Hey, here's a crazy thought: cheese is cheese, no matter where it's made and no matter if someone believes it is superior or not. It's still going to affect me in the same way and I'm really not looking to add supplements when simply limiting my intake is a simple solution.

For the record, I don't like Swiss cheese. And yes, I have had very good European cheese. However, if I feel like splurging, I have plenty of local handmade cheeses made at farms within 50 miles of me to choose from, and they will be just as delicious.

Your insistence that something is better because it's European is quite tiresome.

Hey, congrats! Did I miss an announcement? Or is this your announcement? Either way, woot!! (Forgive me - it's Friday, I'm exhausted, am starting allergy season, and haven't had enough coffee yet this morning :/ )

Let's face facts: Cheese comes in 3x3" squares, 1/16" thick, and individually wrapped in cellophane.

Unless it's from the government - then you loose the cellophane.

I got home yesterday to find a package at the door, originating in Cali, with lots of goodies. I'll post photos when I get home tonight.
Now I have some art work to do, and it has to be some of my best.

There's a pizza place in Mystic called Pizzetta. Some of the best pizza around and they have a great tap list. My friend Luke will be playing acoustic music out on the patio starting at 6.

But honestly...as long as you stay away from Mystic Pizza, there aren't many dud restaurants around here.

I actually like the pizza from Mystic - tourist trap or no it was pretty good when I had it last summer. Of course if it had been made with European cheese, it would have been much better.

And we like Mystic Pizza, though the one in town seemed to be better than the the second one in the 'burbs. I will certainly give Pizzetta a try, though I'm not sure what time we will get in - guessing about 8 PM.

Yeahbut... how does European cellophane compare?

It's another opportunity to be on the bridge when the horn starts blaring.

I'm hoping one of these trips we'll be able to get to the Bee and Thistle.

I think @coastalconn is the chef there...or was, at least.

He was when I asked a while ago.

It's almost baby time already?? goody!

Oh yeah, the school cheese... with my job I didn't eat at our school too often, usually packed on class days and ate out on home visit days. But sometimes on a Friday end of the month 'paperwork' day they'd have grilled cheese... yup, cheese is cheese, melty and toasted on bread with some tomato soup, yeah I'll eat govt. subsidized cheese! lol

Even better/worse was cookie baking mornings - occasionally I'd have a morning visit cancel so had time for some extra coffee and they'd be baking cookies... the smell coming down the hall, I had to go buy one. Or two.
