An Evening in Fair Haven



What could possibly be better than spending time at the lake on a hot summer day? According to my kids there isn't anything that comes close! We spent Saturday afternoon and evening on the bay in Fair Haven, NY, a small community on the south shore of Lake Ontario. Each year their Fourth of July celebrations include a beautiful tradition called "The Ring of Fire". At 9:30 or so on the specified night, all the residents surrounding the bay light flares along the waterfront.

A Quote From My Latest Recommended Read:

"When my generation of women walked away from the kitchen we were escorted down that path by a profiteering industry that knew a tired, vulnerable marketing target when they saw it. "Hey ladies," it said to us, "go ahead, get liberated. We'll take care of dinner." They threw open the door and we walked into a nutritional crisis and genuinely toxic food supply......We came a long way, baby, into bad eating habits and collaterally impaired family dynamics. No matter what else we do or believe, food remains at the center of every culture. Ours now runs on empty calories."
