Kingda KA


Skull Mountain

Took a half-day yesterday and hauled five sixteen year old males
( my son included) to Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson ,New Jersey. The BOGO ( Buy One Get One free) soda cans worked their magic and the fee for six was $150 instead of $300. Of course, Six Flags makes it up on the back-end - $3.50 sodas, $15 to park, just about everything to eat $8.99.

The park was not crowded so all the Roller Coasters were tested. The winner is KINGDA KA. The loser is the new Batman ride The DARK KNIGHT. DK was described as a Wild Mouse in the dark. The guys said 10 and under would enjoy it. A lot like Skull Mountain, which is the better of the indoor rides.

CORN !!!

As promised, the season's first corn arrived. The Union Square Greenmarket has less to see and buy on Fridays. However, they did have CORN!!!!The corn was small and quite tasty.We go meatless on Fridays ,so the menu is fresh Bluefish from the boat PURA VIDA from Hampton Bays. Bluefish cooked with fresh Scallions, and Key Lime wine sauce. Accompanied by Corn on the Cob and a Kendall Jackson Sauvignon Blanc. July 4th BBQ set for tomorrow.

Big-Ass Scallions.
