Fun at Home

Sometimes you can enjoy the Mohawk Valley just by staying home.

Let’s start by acknowledging that a good time in many cases involves food. Someone will tell me that this is an attitude that led to the obesity crisis in this country. Oh, don’t start. I’m not saying I NEED food to have a good time. I’m saying I need to eat to live, I might as well enjoy it.

So there I was, tired and hungry after a day’s work and my only plans for dinner were just too labor intensive. But we have a telephone and a folder full of menus from a number of great local places that deliver. Last night we decided on Carney’s Corners in Herkimer.

We got an Italian sub and garlic wings. Tabby was very excited when the delivery guy showed up. Of course Steven neglected to close the inner door before opening the outer door, so she ran right out onto the porch to greet him. I don’t know if most of the delivery people around here are dog lovers or if our dog is just particularly lovable (which of course she is), but we haven’t scared off a delivery person yet.

Carney’s Corners, 232 N. Washington St., Herkimer, is open seven days. They offer a variety of subs, pizza and more. For more information call 315-866-7191.

Well, this makes for a pretty short blog post. Alas, I don’t have a cheesy TCM movie to report. Instead we indulged in one my guilty pleasures: World’s Dumbest on TruTV. In case you’re not familiar with it: they show videos of people doing various stupid things with commentary by D-List celebrities. Last night was World’s Dumbest Daredevils, but they also do Partiers, Entertainers and my personal favorite Criminals. So far none of the clips I’ve seen have come from the Mohawk Valley, but I’ll keep looking. That will surely be worthy of a mention in the blog.
