While snow is not unusual in Vermont any time of the year (except maybe July) it has been a topsy-turvy couple of weeks for weather lately. Two weeks ago our worst and most damaging snow storm of the year, last week hail, and yesterday cold with snow showers. In between we've had some beautiful weather with some warm days and some cold, though, so it's not all bad. Oh well who knows what's in store - we will have to wait and see.
For all those basketball fans, the Boston Celtics' Rajon Rondo put on a performance yesterday that will go down as one of the best of all time for the Celtics. With the exception of Paul Pierce everyone stepped up their game, and Rondo scored over 20 points, had 15 rebounds, and dished out 18 assists. What an incredible performance by a man who refuses to lose and who is, by the way, barely over six feet tall. Wow!
The other night Handy Toyota team was honored at the Franklin County Regional Chamber of Commerce's Annual Dinner and Silent Auction as the 2009 Large Business of the Year. To quote Jamie West I can think of no business that is more deserving for the continued work in the community while providing good jobs to those willing to work.
The New York Yankees beat up the Boston Red Sox again, but these things have a way of turning themselves around as the season progresses. I guess we will have to wait and see. The Yankees, while playing great ball, still find themselves behind the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the overall stats.
On the cooking front I continue to experiment with Chicken Florentine recipes. I will have something to report on the topic soon, but for now I'm finagling. I might use this one for the Hood Cook-Off in Maine this November if it turns out well, and I am also working on different egg roll combination which look promising as well.
Kudo's to Al's French Fries for the recent prestigious James Beard Award. They were voted one of America's Best Classic Restaurants. I guess they do represent that 1950s and '60s era burger joint well!
Oh well that's it for this go round, but I will be back in the blogosphere soon.
