Hurricane Sandy: Part 1

So, here are a few pictures of the end of my street. My house is the next one up, so odds are my front and back lawn will be underwater. This isn't as bad as it will be yet, too. Tonight, at the fourth high tide, you will see how high it will get. WISH ME LUCK!

Cheers,

Before the Storm

As I am sure most of you know, there is a hurricane on its way to New York and New Jersey. People are freaking out, including all of my neighbors. The Long Island Railroad has cancelled service in preparation for the storm, which means NO SCHOOL tomorrow or, hopefully, the next day. 

Last year, we had to face Hurricane Irene and that was pretty scary. If this is supposed to be worse than I will cry. Be prepared for some pictures and updates about how much I'll be freaking out. 

Cheers, 

Jack 

PS if you are in the area, stay safe!

Apple Cake: Take 1

Everyone, say hello to my best friend, Ally! Find her on Instagram @Ally_Stacy. I have probably tagged her in a bunch of different photos. Both of us love to cook, and Wednesday she asked me to make Tate's Apple Cake on Friday night. Obviously, I couldn't pass it up. 

Honestly, it was so easy to make. Kathleen's directions are really really simple. Unfortunately, her oven malfunctioned and broiled it.... awkward. Both her parents still liked it, but it sucked. Don't kid yourselves. We went to Tate's Bakeshop in Southampton to actually try it today. Let me tell you it was better than anything I have ever tasted. It says to cook it for an hour and forty five minutes. I am sure it is the right time, but make sure your oven bakes. Have a good weekend, and don't forget to batten down the hatches for Sandy! I'll post pictures if it gets wild out here. 

Cheers, 

Jack

So, this is my new safe haven. It's this awesome, secret, little spot in North Sea right off of Rt. 27. In the morning all the locals are there with their families fishing or unloading their boats. I came here with my sister and my best friend to take pictures. My sister tried to pull a fast one and steal the car, as you can see. She is a year away from driving, so she is getting pretty antsy. 

Fun fact--I found this chair on the side of the road a few weeks ago and picked it up. I had a feeling it would come in handy. 

Have a great week everybody!

Cheers, 

Jack
