Ending the week in Mt. Holly at @spellboundbrewing I recommend the mango ale. I’ve got some exciting Film screening dates comping soon!
When I think of home in New Jersey this is what I’m thinking. Every turn a smoky pitch pine forest presents itself. Like a fine wine, it only gets better with age. The memory that is. Of growing up running down backroads with sugar sand filling your shoes as you burn off youthful energies. Stopping only long enough to pick wild huckleberries in a patch granny pointed out to you the day before. Those same roads driven in a beat up pickup truck rising shotgun with granny and grandpa looking in the spring for poke. Grandpa would say, “Cut it out here where the government chemicals from the black top roads can’t get to it.” Back at the homestead along the abandoned railroad tracks granny would clean the poke and fry it up in a pan with some butter and I’d wash it down with homemade sun tea cause what kid thinks anything green is tasty? Sure wish I could take one more trip down that sandy white backroad with them with me riding shotgun with my arm hanging out the window. Then one last meal in granny Lewis’s kitchen along those old railroad tracks deep down in the Pines of New Jersey.
Wild weekend still filling up my soul here in the concrete jungle paying my toll.
For those that follow our Piney Tribe Facebook page and caught todays breakfast scene at the fantastic @buzbys_eatery you probably read that we missed out on their pancakes with blueberry compote. And how now I wanted pancakes for dinner, right? Well this isn’t Buzbys but at the ole homestead. NJ blueberries turned into a delish homemade blueberry compote to compliment the homemade peanut butter that is slathered all over our griddle pancakes. Compliments to our home chef, Mrs. Piney Tribe. The bacon was icing on the cake. You could say that all those summers in Browns Mills with my grandparents watching Elvis movies inspired my love of peanut butter on all things even pancakes. Plus it’s a good source of protein to an otherwise all carb dinner lol. Don’t judge us we earned it after several miles hiking out at the rye fields in Pasadena WMA.
Details for when you go to Chatsworth New Jersey. Thursday and Friday good eats 7am-3pm and Saturday and Sunday good eats 8am-3pm at @buzbys_eatery . Place is clean, friendly, wheelchair accessible, and delicious! We are currently partnering with the new owners to bring you limited quantities of our two best selling books all about the people of the pines and the Pine Barrens. A perfect fit at this national landmark where another famous author once sat on the heating radiator bench that is still there today working on his book that in my opinion saved the Pine Barrens of today. Now you know so add it to the trip to the heart of the Pines. The owners are super sweet and are very skilled behind the skillet lol. Oh and if you already have our third book Adventure with Piney Joe-Exploring the New Jersey Pine Barrens you’ll see on page 116 a pretty good drawing of Buzbys and you can check the box for this stop that our beloved gnome guide takes you to.
Just back from a splash in an old bog at Whitesbogs. We had a puppy once who died of complications from a loose dog attack. Which means today we don’t walk our dogs unless it’s in relatively remote areas and or people keep their dogs on a leash. Today I had to leave my wife behind with the dogs as someone ahead of us on the return trip had a pack of dogs off leash. A high anxiety situation for us and for people who aren’t dog people. I really don’t get it. But we all had a great time other than that encounter. Look at the blue sky that peeked out of the otherwise sulky sky. Somewhat a more scarier part of the return trip was the parking lot of downtown Browns Mills Wawa.
