I thought this thread was going to be about when it’s okay to eat food that fell on the floor.

First time I saw the Dead was Hartford’82. They played “Phil's Earthquake Jam “ where Phil hit a note that shook the Ciic Center and made this ethereal dust rain down through the lights. It was surreal.

Everyone else is going to tell you about dining and entertainment. I recommend driving out to the Marconi site. Off season it’s free and there are no crowds. Few minute drive off route 6. Views are fantastic there. You can see the ocean and bay from the same spot. Truro bluffs to the north...

I'm a contractor in CT. I have many clients that I have helped convert to heat pump systems. My hvac guy uses Mitsubishi Hyper heat models and my clients have had no complaints about them keeping up even at -10 degrees. Hvac guy has done efficiency calculations and admits that the split system...

I've posted about this method before. It’s super simple and always results in a moist, even cooked bird. About the time when you would foil tent, add a layer of bacon instead.
