Photos From The Big E
We went to The Big E on Saturday with some friends and we had a blast. It took us about 2.5 hours drive to get there, we got there at 10:30 and didn't leave until 8:30. We spent most of the day eating and walking around. If you live near the New England area, you can't miss this! Kids and adults will have a good time.
Best & worst for 2008
The planting season is slowly coming to an end and I've begun to cleanup the deck (how sad is that!). Even though I wish the planting season could last longer but it gives me something to look forward to and think about what I want to plant next year. There are some plants that I definitely want to plant again and there are some that I swear I'll never do again.
Here's a list of plants that worked really well for me. This will be my shopping list for next year.
- Purple Leaf Oxalis
- Fuschia
- Diamond Frost
- Fiber Optic Grass
- "Angelina" from Proven Winners
- Thai chili peppers
- Japanese eggplant
- Green bell peppers
Heading to ‘The Big E’
We're heading to the northeast biggest fair "The Big E" today. This is not the typical county fair, it's the only cross-state agricultural fair in US. It's one of the six largest agricultural fair in the country involving the six New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. It's held in West Springfield, MA and attracts more than one million people.
I'm so excited about this, I can't wait to try all the food (heart-healthy food that is) 
. To name a few: fried dough, tostitos dipped into fresh-made salsa, Maine lobster roll, finnish pancakes, german fries, big e cream puff, clam fritters, steamed hamburgers. I will be wearing my 'eating pants' today.
Carnival Ride.
