Brownies Kaboom

No, that is not a new dessert recipe.  It is more like an anti-dessert.  I put a double batch of brownies in an "ovenproof" Pyrex dish into the oven.  Fortunately, we were sitting nearby a bit later when we heard a muffled explosion from the vicinity of the oven.  I opened it and found glass shards and brownie batter all over the oven.  Fortunately, we reacted quickly, turning off the oven and pulling out the rack and placing a cookie sheet underneath to catch what was not already on the bottom of the oven.  After the oven cooled we cleaned and cleaned and hopefully got up all the glass.

I guess our guest is not getting dessert tonight.

Catching Up

We drove to camp on June 24th, in time for a Wayfarers party on Wednesday.  On the 27th I went to the Vermont Quilt Festival, which was great as always.  Today we joined friends on a bike ride on Cedar River Road near Indian Lake.  W managed the whole ride but the heat and the hills were too much for me so I turned around about half way.  I'd like to try it again when it isn't so hot.  I was surprised to discover when I headed back to the car that we had been going uphill most of the time, so the ride back was fairly easy.  Then we went to our friend's for lunch.  It is great to be back though it took some time getting used to being here again.

At Camp

We just arrived at camp.  I was surprised to see the trillium still blooming.  I guess everything is late this year.  And the black flies are in abundance.  Exactly why did we leave New Jersey?

Ice Palace From the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival

We had a nice get-together with friends this evening and then went to see the Ice Palace lit up.  It is quite spectacular this year, with a Celtic theme.

I especially like the dragon.
