From the “Well Duh” department comes the report that Travel Salem recently awarded its Absolutely Oom Pa Pa award to Jerry Lauzon… Like who else were they going to give it to?..Well duh.
So you think you’re the queen of cayenne, the boss with beans, and the hotshot with habanero? Then enter the chili cook-off being hosted by the Silverton Elks as part of their July 4 extravaganza. Call 503-873-4567 or
e-mail [email protected] (probably best to call as elk have a hard time typing with their hooves and all) and register by June 25… Just don’t forget the Beano…
Speaking of gastronomic grandstanding, if you think you’re a little short on protein, drop by Milltown Pub and belly up to the Milltown Challenge Omelet. Made with 12 eggs and stuffed with all manner of stomach expanding ingredients, also comes with potatoes and toast – eat it all in under an hour and you win a $20 gift card. Apparently one hardy soul has met the challenge but he burped chicken feathers for a week…
Howard Hinsdale and Kevin Cobb are moving Howard Hinsdale Wine Cellars two doors south to the corner of Main and Water streets. The larger space will increase their seating capacity inside and the larger deck will be a great place to sample a bit of vino over Silver Creek on a warm summer evening.

OK, so The Man noticed that his pants were getting a little tight, got in the gym, cut back on the junk food and dropped a few pounds… And it got me thinkin’ – when you lose, say 5 or 10 pounds of fat, just where does it go exactly? It’s not on you anymore but it must be somewhere, right? Seems to me they should have to shovel up all the piles of the fat off the floor at the gym every night. Shouldn’t marathon runners be slipping and sliding in fat as they make their way through a race? Is there a fat landfill or some sort of recycling program that I am not aware of? It’s gotta be somewhere, right Liz?…. It’s kinda like the other thing I can’t figure out… If millions of people all over the world are driving around wearing out their tires every day, where does all of the worn out rubber go?…. Am I the only one that thinks about this stuff?!? ….Anyone??
See you on the street…
