Quirky....who me?

Bet at Nut Harvest tagged me with this meme, so here goes.

#4. I live by a "todo" list.
#5. I know more that 100 ways to prepare ramen.

Castle in the Clouds

On our vacation to New Hampshire this year we discovered a hidden attraction that was quite a surprise for us. I won't give much of the history, as that is part of the fun of the expedition, but I will say it was built in the 1910's and was used for entertaining the social elite before the depression.

We dined in the Carriage House, i.e. in a horse stall. But the food was good and plentiful. Also on the drive up there were places to stop and hike - as this was one of the original attractions.

So if you ever visit the White Mountains in New Hampshire you should try to make a trip to this little piece of history. Follow the link by clicking a picture above.

A Rare Find: The Cheese Plate

On one of our day trips this summer, my wife and myself went to a new place in Warren, RI that got rave reviews. It was called The Cheese Plate found at 54 State Street, Warren, RI 02805.

This is a typical plate:

Six different cheeses, dried fruits, nuts, olives and crusty bread; the best thing is to let the proprietor choose for you - that way you will try something you usually wouldn't.
He handles fine European cheeses and wines. If you are like us and not drinkers, a plate like this with a dessert plate, with sodas and tip is well under $25.
