    NatureJust about one year ago Wantastiquet Mountain experienced a significant forest fire across the river from Brattleboro. The area that burned is visible this spring and I decided to take a walk with my camera to see the changes. Finding the area was not difficult but the terrain is steep and rocky.

Whether sculpting with clay, tasting strawberries in the organic garden, biking through Putney, building with wood, or doing Chinese brush painting, there is something for everyone.

    Campers enjoy the 60 acre campus and the chance to be part of a program that has its roots in over twenty years of wonderful summers. This program provides the same standard of excellence that the school provides year round.

    Condiment Survey  View Printable Version

    FoodAfter reading a discouse concerning using catsup/ketchup on weiners, I took a quick survey of my refrigerator door shelves' contents.

    There I found some surprises I'd forgotten I owned; fish sauce, hard sauce, green maraschino cherries. U-Bet chocolate syrup, horse beans in chili sauce, Liquid Smoke, Vietnamese chili sauce, capers in olive oil, hot vinegar.

    Foodie Forums asks, what's in your refrigerator door? What do you use them in?

    There's Just No Comparison...MG&G Is WAY Better Than Zippy  View Printable Version  
    Friday, May 09 2008 @ 12:55 PM EDT
    Contributed by: Mr. Buddy Love

    OpinionI've heard all this stuff about how Zippy is "deeper" or "full of more meaning" or just that those who don't like Zippy "don't get" the bohemian "humor" or that it doesn't need "humor" or whatever...but after reading Zippy in the strips of the Reformer and comparing to the strips online of Mother Goose & Grimm, I have got to say that there is no comparison: Mother Goose & Grimm is WAY BETTER, WAY FUNNIER, and in so many ways, should come back and replace Zippy, which is hard to read in tiny print, isn't funny, isn't even all that deep. It's just crud masquerading as "art".
