Grandma's Birthday@Bristol Harbour Lodge

Yesterday, Chele drove Peter and myself to Bristol Harbour Lodge by Canandaigua Lake to celebrated Grandma's 82nd birthday. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and the views out to the lake from the Lodge was just spectacular.

Harry Potter@ Transit Drive-In Theater

In between our excursion stops, we spent some chill time at Jess & Derik's - right before we headed to our final stop which is to see Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince at the transit Drive-In. In continuation of our eating itinerary, we prepared and cooked up a nice gourmet meal for dinner from the produce and fresh seafood we bought at the farmer's market. We had a short stop at our place right before we headed to the movies to pick up more supplies - chairs, peanuts, wine, etc.

We made shrimp scampi cooked in butter and dry vermouth with garlic and thyme accompanied with grilled asparagus and griled vegetables with Italian seasoning.

Italian Festival

Our second stop was back in Buffalo at the anual Italian Festival. Not many pictures taken, since all of us were just too busy stuffing our faces with calamari, raw clams, dandelions & steak, hot stuffed peppers, cannolis, gelato and more!

Rochester Farmer's Market

This past Saturday was our full day excursion & activities with my office's IA familly. Our first stop was at the Rochester Farmer's Market. There were yummy empanadas from Juan & Maria's Empanada Stop, a wide variety of fresh seafood to choose from and plenty of produce to pick and choose. We were definitely off to a great start!

We headed out early to downtown Rochester to the Corn Hill Arts Festival. As usual, Dad@Mario and I headed first to the Kettle Corn vendor before the line gets crazy.
