    Oh man that flank steak was awesome!!! But let's not belittle BigGuy's sausage contribution. He even slapped it in a taco.

    Rave: Brooklyn Boulders, the new climbing gym on 3rd and Degraw. I have actually experienced it (pesky busted ankle) but the bf and friend who climb a fair amount both indoors and out, are pleased with this addition to the area.

    I'll rave more about it in its own thread later b/c I want people to support it and keep it open and hopefully expanding.

    Argh, sorry I missed the BBQ. Sounds like it was a boatload of fun. I'm still at work if you can believe that shit.

    That's a rant, BTW.

    Rave: everything I made (beet/roquefort salad, red quinoa salad, marinades for halibut and shrimp) was deeeeelicious and well received. Pastis, rose, red wine, tons of good food and petanque! Team France (mine!) Won every game and I proudly helped the team. In the absence of caterers, I had a lot of work to do during the party and so did not drink too much. Awesome petanque tournament. I got to carry the French flag for the parade and distribution of medals and trophies.
    Rave: my aunt and uncle were so thankful for my help they asked me to come back every party
    Rave: spent my last day in Portland in the pool with the marghs made from wild blackberry infused tequila
    Rant: cannot think of ONE

    Rant: As a newly unemployed person, my partner has asked me to wait in line all morning for free Shakespeare in the Park tickets.

    Rave: By agreeing to do so, I will gain 1 relationship point.

    Rant: Surprise (?), I am somewhat (?!) of an oaf. ...I would like to skip going to the actual event. (thus foregoing an additional point)

    Rave: If a cultured female blogger goes with Mrs. Whynot to the event, I will be able to obtain one point ...yet not have to actually attend the event. One point is plenty. PM me to apply.

    Rant: For some reason there is no Shakespeare in the Park tonight.

    ...despite the website stating there will be!

    If you had trek'd there at 9AM, you would have seen no line and then found flyers stating "no show tonight".

    Rave: H & H Bagels.

    annoying. at a guess, it's because last night was the official opening night and the actors' contracts only allow a certain number of performances per week.

    Rave: I have been informed that I still get the point.

    ...so, when you think about it: 1 hour travel and then waiting online from 9 AM to 1 PM would have resulted in 1 point (meaning I would have earned .20 points an hour).

    However, by traveling one hour, then discovering it was closed, my point to hour ratio is far higher. Almost 1:1.

    Score :)
