The glories of Finger Lakes Food

Our wedding is an area of the country I grew up in love with, and have managed to make Kate fall in love with too. And we can't wait to share it with all of you...especially the views and the food! To whet your appetite here's an excerpt from an article in this week's New York Times titled "Finger (Lakes) Food":

Along the two-lane roads that ribbon around the lakes, farm stands pop up with more regularity than ice cream stands (which is saying a lot in this ice cream-obsessed region). I found good luck driving parts of Highway 414, particularly south near Watkins Glen where the road rises up and elevated views of the lake make you understand why the phrase “picture perfect” was invented.

After the early season berries fade, the stands are filled with a summer’s worth of squash, tomatoes and peppers. Always in the late summer there is sweet corn, and lots of it. And later, apples everywhere.

Before you get too excited I must tell you that no, there won't be any salt potatoes served. Those of you living in NYC will have to hit up Dinosaur for a sampling. And if you're flying through Rochester or Syracuse, see if you can't make a pit stop!
