Next time I'll tell my mom I'm doing research for a book I'm thinking about writing ;-) And while Haroun wasn't the best book I've ever read, don't you think it would make a great movie?

I hate it when adult writers do children´s´´books with such condescension. they nearly always suck. I´ve wolfed down hp7, and when people say it´s a kid´s book, I say I have to know what the market´s doing, being an illustrator an´all. but I just love it. harry potter, even HP7, can kick haroun and the sea around the world and back a million times. totally agree.

I miss it. Julie -- you hit the nail on the head. Teddy Roosevelt did an amazing thing for New York State when he assured the 'dacks would remain pristine for future generations. He was a great man. Hi TFL! -- I thought you might weigh in on HP. Man that line from Mrs Weasley was amazing. It was worth the wait for that alone! Valli -- Glad to be of service! I'll have to mull over that waterfall. I know the one you're talking about, but it's too early in the day for my brain to be working properly to remember it's name ;-) Luisa -- How'd the move go? Glad to be of service with the relaxing photos. Speaking of amazing kids books, have you ever seen the ones Mark Helprin did with Chris van Allsburg? really worth trying to find. s’kat — the air smelled so amazing. I miss it.

Lovely! I am SO sad on your behalf that you only had 2 days there - what a glorious place! And after a week of being indoors packing (and unpacking) I took one look at beautiful Mount Ampersand and felt relief. (And: Children's books rock! Sometimes far more than adult ones!)

We clammered over rocks and visited a beautiful waterfall whose name I can't remember. I now live on the West Coast so am not likely to visit again. But I do have an Adirondack chair. Thanks for the beautiful post and the childhood memories. The "cheaters" bread looks great too!!! I remember travelling to White Face Mountain when I was a kid with my family.

If you want another take on the book aside from Slate, you can check out my review (which I decided to wait until tonight to write, so as not to ruin it for the late finishers.) And I am jealous of your vacation... the Adirondacks look lovely! I agree about Harry Potter–it may be a kid’s book, but it’s just so good!

The Rockies may be bigger, but the Adirondacks are prettier, greener, and have that great piney-woods smell. Plus I think they have fewer strip malls. I've only been to the Rockies once, to a town called Silverthorne which is near Vail. There were postcard picture views of snow-capped mountains in every direction and more damned outlet-shopping strip malls than I've ever seen in any place before or since. It was an odd juxtaposition. For some reason I never crave scallops -- except when I look at these pictures. And your bread? Brilliantly inventive idea.

I, too, am now craving scallops. Unfortch, they're not in my future for the time being. I guess I'll have to keep myself occupied with the Slate group. *hauls ass on over* Those mountain photos are simply stunning- I can practically inhale the fresh, clean air!

Give it a go, it's not hard at all and gives such an amazing sense of accomplishment! Andrea -- Hi! It's a fun idea and I felt a little silly passing it on since it seems so well, stupid, but I guess people like it! I hope you do too. Christina -- Feel free to email me with your thoughts on the book if you need someone to babble at! And the crust was really nice. I just wish I had rolled out more bubbles so it wasn't quite so poofie. TerryB -- Too funny! I think Isaac gets it now. I know I have way more respect for the 'dacks now too. Jennifer -- Thanks! TBC -- Isn't it the best name? We kept cracking jokes that it's the place that copy editors go for summer vacation (if they took vacation that is, ba dum dum) Sher -- Thanks! My fava love is all because of you, so thanks :-) Paul — You sound like a candidate for the famous “no-knead” bread then.
