ebear @ #14, come to Readercon in July and we'll settle up.
Dave @ #13: Maybe you shouldn't have told him they were your own homegrown "Bell peppers".
My sister and I enjoy this one:
Put a couple shots of sambuca in a glass and then fill the glass with boiling water. Squeeze a quarter of an orange in and then drop the orange quarter in. Add spices to your taste: we usually use five or six cloves, a star anise, and maybe some allspice berries and a cinnamon stick. Let it steep until it's cool enough to drink.
This is the second year in a row that I've been out of town for the Book 'Em weekend. Bother! My wife (a school librarian) and I live ten minutes south of Lebanon, in Plainfield, NH.
Maybe we can catch you next year!
Have you all encountered the macabre tales of Edgar Allan Pooh?
My wife and I just moved into New Hampshire, and Lou's Restaurant and Bakery in Hanover, NH (home of Dartmouth College) is our favorite local breakfast stop. On almost any given morning it'll be crowded with locals and college students, but there's almost always a few seats at the counter. Their baked goods are fantastic -- try the cruller french toast with fresh seasonal fruit -- but they can also whip up some delicious scrambled eggs, homefries, and strips of bacon with the best of them.
Before NH, we lived down in southern Rhode Island. By far the best restaurant down there is Crazy Burger in Narragansett. It's an eclectic little place that serves up some of the most delicious and innovative grub we've ever come across. From phyllo-wrapped salmon-pistachio patties with mango-lime mayonnaise to delicious Caribbean blackened tilapia fillets, they've got something for every palate, and numerous options for vegans and vegetarians.
John M. Ford:
The soon-to-be-established Federal Technical Homeland Agency for Geographic Nomenclature [FTHAGN] will create Diversionary Place Names for Evading Terrorism [DiPlaNETs], which will be used in the establishing subtitles.
I hear the state of Iowa is launching a strong campaign to have the central headquarters of this new agency located in Des Moines. The advertisements all contain the catchy tagline "IA! IA! FTHAGN!"
