1st Annual N.E. International Pizza Run

[vmaxride06]

Found this about the Thimbleberry..Its not deep fried or covered in red sauce and cheese, but stuff it in a pie crust with sugar, you could make some happy faces.:biglaugh:


Thimbleberry
(Rubus parviflorus)
Slipping easily off into your hand when ripe, this ruby-red berry is aptly named for its pronounced cup shape.
?This is the best tasting and least appreciated berry,? said Wechsler, who dreams of making a thimbleberry pie. ?People don?t know about them as much as the others. Thimbleberries are a little bit sour but not too much, which gives them a bit of pizazz.?
The plant sports large white flowers and maple-like fuzzy leaves that Jacobson calls camper?s toilet paper. Thimbleberry leaves can also be used as makeshift containers, but because the berries do not travel well, they are also best enjoyed at the source. They ripen from late May to early August, with peak picking in July.

That pasty looks tasty.....

Tho don't think I have ever eaten a rutabaga:ummm:

 

[Redbone]

For me, if the pasty doesn't have rutabaga it's missing something. I think they are grown in the ground...not for sure though.:confused2:

 

[Redbone]

The rutabaga is a root vegetable that looks very much like a turnip with yellow-orange flesh and ridges at its neck.

Although this beta carotene-rich vegetable has been grown and marketed in our country for nearly 200 years, it remains an uncommon food in American dining. It's actually a great tasting vegetable with a delicate sweetness and flavor that hints of the light freshness of cabbage and turnip. With its easy preparation and versatility, great nutrition, and excellent flavor, the rutabaga can easily become an endearing family favorite.

How about some utica greens or chicken riggies haa haa! They alone are worth a 5 or 600 mile run!!!!!

hey man.

i had been asked to look at decent places for people to look at hotels. i haven't really lived in the area in 5 years or so, so please give me ur thoughts as well!

i was originally thinking the ramada in the mills would definitely be the safest to park the bikes out front.

but for whatever reason they are COMPLETELY booked for saturday night

my next best thoughts would be like the red roof in N Utica. Theres a couple other there too, Someone told me a new best western

either way its lookin like $100 a night. they have double rooms tho as well so if people like sharing a room that cuts it down significantly.

there's also the raddison in downtown utica with a parking garage. nice hotel but a little pricer (think $150 - $165), however would be right in downtown if u wanted to see the (2) sights cny has to offer.

I can check into prices around Canton/Massena area if anyone wanted to stay up north for a night......just let me knowunk:

 

[gamorg02]

If i was anyone who wanted to crash up there, i know someone who owns a B&B, and i could make the call for ya. Otherwise i'd recommend the University Inn or comfort suites.

both of which actually looked fully booked! wtf is going on in NY that weekend?

 

[tugla]

I'll probably end up spending the night in or around utica, not sure yet if i can drive a little further north that day i will as i'll be coming in from ohio

Could it be the fall color tour season that is the reason??? I know around here it is one the busiest times of year...save for the summer and winter crowds. Mid winter you cannot find a room or cabin anywhere near here, snowmobiliers have them all booked up normally.

 

[kaboom]

I will......stand by......

I just called the BIGGEST hotel in town.......

The desk clerk said that some Marines college team was going to play at one of the colleges that weekend......

she did not know if it was in Canton or Potsdam or Plattsburgh or what....

But it is sucking up all the rooms in the area:damn angry:
