Where You Are Photos

We’ve been banging on the glass behind UMass- Lowells bench.

UNH scored a goal and while the announcer was calling it and we were all looking at the big screen with the player video going Umass scored a goal at the other end. None of us saw it. The goals were 17 seconds apart lol.

Watching the locals set themselves on fire here in Cozumel. Pretty sure that’s an OSHA violation…

Dang…that looks awesome. That shrimp and grits in the bowl?

It’s artificial (Alouette Lake), in that pretty much all our power in BC comes from hydro dams, and this is a feeder lake kept as a reserve store (it actually feeds into another much bigger lake lower down where the turbines are through a mountain tunnel; it’s basically a water battery). There are a couple of fish in it but the dam doesn’t have a fish ladder to the downstream river, so the returning big guys can’t come back up anymore. There is a hatchery at the base of the dam (plus some talk of building a series of pools so they can jump back up). We have a lot of water.

It is- that’s from the Marketplace Restaurant. Early Girl and Tupelo Honey both had 1+ hour waits this morning.

Coming home from a week away from your seven year old to see this waiting on the kitchen counter at midnight…couldn’t have melted my heart any more. As a military brat, my Dad often had to deploy, sometimes for up to a year. I don’t know how servicemen and women do it.

Mind telling me what grits are please?

1 Like

It’s kinda like porridge, but made from ground corn, and is a breakfast staple here in the southern US. As they don’t have much flavor on their own, they’re often mixed with butter, cheese, hot sauce, etc, or used as a basis for other recipes - for shrimp and grits, they’re used to absorb the flavors of the sauce the dish is served with, and to provide a different texture.

Back in the days when the south was much more heavily agrarian, they were a cheap and quick source of carbs to fuel a long day of work in the fields.

Southerners, did I cover all the bases there?
