Lake Day! We spent Saturday at Mauch Chunk Lake Park west of Jim Thorpe and in Jim Thorpe itself; fresh water and animal crackers on a blanket in the sun made for a lazy afternoon. I think we both missed the big clear-water rollers and hard-as-cement sand at the water's edge of a Lake Michigan beach but trucked-in sand and the murky deep of a PA reservoir sufficed. Sunday we managed to go berserker on both garage and house AND go to Rave to check out Julie & Julia. It was a good show but a major subtext of the whole (true) story went unresolved and I couldn't get past that. Tonight we cooked big as in days past: spanikopita from Moosewood, gourmet-cheesed salads (bleu for me and Parmiggiano-Romano for Jenelle), and apple tarts for dessert fashioned from leftover phyllo and applesauce.
