A very thoughtful gift: All About New York – An Intimate Guide ©1931

2011-05-28T08:29:00.008-04:00

I received the most thoughtful gift in the mail this week from my mom and grandmother. A Guide to New York published in 1931, it is so interesting to see what has changed and what hasn't. In those days hotels ran from $3.50 - 5.00 a night and due to prohibition you had to be particularly cautious of nightclubs.

an excerpt: "Don't go to any night club recommended by unknown guides or taxi drivers. Don't go to restaurant or night club off the main avenues and streets and don't buy and drink liquor even if some of the places will sell it to you."

interesting times...look forward to a complete read this weekend.

many thanks Mom & Granny!

family history gem

2011-01-16T21:13:00.009-05:00

I've been working on my family tree and came across this gem online last week. This is My Great Great Grandfather, Charles (Carl) Waldemere Buchholz's Form for Naturalization, from 1877. Notice that it predates the use of photography in this kind of documentation and instead uses fill-in-the-blank to describe his facial features.

Miss Broughton Swings

2011-01-14T08:51:00.006-05:00

"Miss P Broughton in swing, full length, white dress, nearly full face, shoe on", 1892 – photograph by William Edward Downey (1855-1908). Phyllis Broughton (1862-1926) was an actress and dancer who found fame through her appearances at the Gaiety Theatre on Aldwych in London, home of the "Gaiety Girls".

I Harsten observation: "I suspect that in practice the swing was hanging straight down, vertical, and that the dress and her scarf very arranged in clever ways, in order to give this impression of movement. And that the background also was turned, accordingly. Extremely clever, extremely creative, and well thought out."

tasty breakfast, made with the apples we picked yesterday in High Falls.

peak!

2010-10-17T10:18:00.012-04:00

We took a drive up the Hudson River Valley yesterday with Alex and Tiffany. Foliage was in high peak, and the weather was gorgeous!

Here's what we managed to pack in our 8 hour round trip...

We took I-87 North towards New Paltz. Our first stop was the Walkway over the Hudson (connecting Highland to Poughkeepsie). It is the longest pedestrian bridge in North America, with spectacular views of the fall colors.

Then we headed over to New Paltz, a little college town that is home to some of the oldest surviving examples of stone houses in North America – dating back to 1689! The town was bustling during lunch hour, so we just grabbed a quick bite and took off to High Falls. Note: next time bring a picnic.

We scooted down to the Scenic Mohonk Rd to High Falls (locals call it the "The Center of the Universe"). Then, we stopped by Mr. Apple's Low spray orchard to pick some fresh apples. Unfortunately, the orchard was slim pickin but we managed to collect an ample supply. Finally, we wrapped up at the high falls, and old stone mill ruins

If we had time we would of hit up the The Mohonk House and Mohonk preserve, but will have til wait until next time...

the way the coffee curdles

2010-09-19T09:09:00.003-04:00

this has not happened in ages!! Went out for coffee yesterday, and before I could give the barista a tutorial on how to pour soy milk into hot coffee, my cup had become a science experiment with a sugar packet on the side. cry me a river.

Tips to avoid a cup'o science experiment:
1. Shake your soy milk before pouring.
2. Warm up the soy milk to room temp.
3. Pour the soy milk into your cup first.
4. Then pour the coffee, slowly.
5. Bingo - no curdles.
