Last night’s blizzard dropped a ton of snow in Tinton Falls as well as the rest of the northern Jersey Shore in Monmouth County. Here are some pictures from the last few hours of my roommates and I (and the rest of the neighbors) digging out of our development in Fox Chase. It wasn’t fun – especially since my roommates and I only had a beat-up kitchen broom and ice scrapers to get ourselves out!

Pictures from Last Night’s Snow
Sunday, December 20th, 2009If you live on the northern Jersey Shore, then you know that last night a gigantic storm dumped a butt load of snow all over the place! Take a look at the pictures below to see what the accumulations looked like around 10:00pm in the Fox Chase development in Tinton Falls. It’s about time we got some snow!
Jersey Shore Restaurant Week Coming Up
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009One of my roommates sent me the link below. It’s for the Jersey Shore Restaurant Week, which is coming up November 6th through November 15th. As someone who has lived on the northern Jersey Shore for the better part of the last ten years, I encourage you to check out some of these fine dining establishments. I’ve been to many of these places and you’ve probably read reviews of their food somewhere on this blog, so I can vouch for some of these restaurants. And if you’re looking for a reference on one or more of these places, then just ask!

Getting Ready to Feel Some of Hurricane Bill
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009If you’re living in the Garden State and especially near the shore, then I bet that you heard about all of the warnings and beach closings for this weekend. It seems that the tail end of Hurricane Bill is getting ready to smack portions of the New England area and we’re in its path.
This has got to be a big pain in the ass to those businesses that are located along the Jersey Shore in those areas that are heavy tourist areas. With beaches closed and the rain coming down, nobody is going to want to come down to the shore this weekend. Of course, I hope that we miss the majority of the downpour so that some of these businesses can make some money (Lord knows that they need the revenue), however, I don’t think that we’ll be able to avoid getting washed out this weekend.
No matter what, though, be sure that you’re safe and out of harm’s way if/when the rain starts coming down. Even the tail end of hurricanes can pack some powerful punches.
A Beautiful Day at the Jersey Shore
Saturday, July 18th, 2009Come on down! If you’re reading this from somewhere in North Jersey or Central Jersey (not near the Jersey Shore), you should come on over to the Long Branch, Asbury Park, or Ocean Grove beaches. It’s a beautiful day on the Jersey Shore – one of the best that we’ve had all summer!
This morning, I went to the Merrick Farm and picked up my half share of the week’s bounty. I picked up a bunch of interesting looking produce – some of which I know what to do with, some of which I have no idea. I’m going to take some time this morning and make a gigantic salad out of our existing produce from the farm. The new stuff I’m just going to “bank” at the bottom of the fridge in the crisper. Then I’ll be spending a portion of today down in Belmar at a friend’s barbecue.
My goal is to spend this evening relaxing. I’ve had pretty active, hectic weekends for the last few weeks and next weekend I’ll be in Nashville so relaxing will be a nice change of pace!
In the mean time, come on down to the shore!
Busy Weekend
Saturday, May 30th, 2009Busy weekend coming up. Earlier this morning I went for my first weekly harvest at the Merrick Farm in Farmingdale. Granted, the farm isn’t quite ready to have its shareholders come in and harvest the produce. However, because I was one of the earlier folks to sign up and pay for my produce, I was allowed to go in and get some strawberries and asparagus. I hope to have some pictures available to show you guys this week.
Then I had to run and do some last minute errands like paying the rent and heading to the bank before I head off to my co-worker’s house for a BBQ today. And what a beautiful day it is for a BBQ! Seriously, the rest of you who aren’t located on the Jersey Shore would be jealous to see how beautiful it is along the coast today.
From the BBQ I’ll be heading north to my family’s house in Roxbury so I can see my Grandmother and Aunt who are visiting from Pennsylvania. I haven’t seen them in a while so I look forward to spending some time with them. And the reason that they’re visiting is because my cousin is getting married tomorrow!
So tomorrow I’ll be spending all day doing wedding and family stuff. Looking forward to it. Hey – it’s supposed to be a wonderful weekend in terms of the weather so go out there and enjoy it!
