Adirondack Life.......

No not the magazine filled with waytoomanyadvertisementsthatusedtobeagoodread!

This is about a beautiful Wednesday afternoon.

It's been dark, gray and rainy/snowy/sleety for the past couple of weeks.

Sure there's been the occasional day where the Sun would make an appearance,  but along with the time change last week, I've been feeling like a mole.
Yup, a mole, those cute little creatures that reside underground and never see the sun, hence, they have no eyes.

Today the Sun came out, and I had to make a trip to Long Lake to see the Doc to get rid of this sinus infection I've had for a month and a half.
So after my visit to the Doc and armed with enough prescriptions for an army, I drove home to Tupper.

It was a classic Adirondack fall day.

On the way home I took some pics.
(disclaimer-I in no way pretend to know how to take pictures)

 Looking down Long Lake from the beach.

Bog River Falls-spent a lot of teenage years swimming there.


Big Tupper from the Bog River Falls bridge.

Neat little island on Big Tupper.

Nice little boathouse.

A slightly bigger island on Big Tupper. Make a nice summer retreat.

Litchfield property. I believe that road goes by Buck-A-Year hunting camp.


You're here! Make sure you got your building permit and zoning rules!

From the boat launch across from the Riverside Restaurant (well, where it used to be....)


Looking into town-I wonder how many more years that smokestack will be there?

Which way does the wind blow? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind......

Seward Range (I think). Taken from the flow @ Moody.

Another view-I think there might have been a glacier there.

Tree, tree, tree........ (What movie was that line in?)

And now for the contest!   Which famous Tupper Laker(s) reside in this lakeside residence?
The winner gets a meatpie made by yours truly during the X-Mas Holidays.

What a day.

Tuesday.......................

Hadn't planned a post, not that I ever do, but when opportunity strikes, you post baby!

I made Salisbury Steaks tonight.

Picked off the recipe from   Allrecipesclickherefor link . 

A great alternative to meatloaf and burgers-

Add some mashed potatoes and veggies and you have a meal.

Quick and easy.


In the pan....
Still in the pan....

On the plate......

Comfort food. Very good.

Monday night.......

It's Monday night, and we all know very well, Monday's suck. 

Why does Monday suck, well simply because it's Monday.  

Unless you're retired, and I ain't, Monday's will continue to suck for the next few years.
(If I need to explain any further, please stop by, and I'll give a detailed explanation)

But, loyal readers, I digress (again), this post is about easy cooking on Monday night.

As I pondered what to make for myself and my better half, I was at a loss. 

I clicked on Allrecipes and there was a recipe for Reuben soup.
I got excited, until I saw it had kielbasa in it-No go. Reubens are made from corn beef, and kielbasa isn't corned beef and the better half hates kielbasa eventhoughhermotherispolish!  
Whew, glad I got that out of my system.

Then the obvious occurred, why not make Reubens?

And that my friends, I did.

The basic ingredients.
Butter the downside, and spread some 1000 Island dressing on the topside.
Place a slice of corned beef on.
 Place a slice of swiss on that.
Place some sauerkraut on that.
Another slice of swiss.....
Another slice of corned beef.....
Grill 'em baby........

Ready, set, .........

Go!
