In the News: Manchaug Bisque!

It’s all in the name!  and “Manchaug” is on the menu at a near-Webster Lake eatery, Bistro Eighty Ates.  A reader wintering in Florida brought this review by Worcester Magazine’s Zeke Williams to our attention.  Here’s what Mr. Williams had to say …. “We started with an order of the Crock of Manchaug Bisque – a saffron-kissed mixture of a smooth sherry-cream base made with juicy pieces of lobster, shrimp and scallops. The flavors were fresh and vibrant. I am just not sure why a place looking to be “big city” would name a starter dish after a small lake and/or village in rural Sutton.”  So what do you think?  Did “a place looking to be big city”  name its now famous “Crock of Manchaug Bisque” after “a small lake and/or village in rural Sutton”?

In the News: Shoes!

Yahoo news yesterday morning had a lead story on a pair of shoes, one green and one pink, worn by an actress to Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards . Thought I would give you a look at some of the shoes four women of Manchaug Pond are wearing this season when they step out on Manchaug Pond: (photos taken this past Sunday)    Ladies, send in a photo of your favorite pair of shoes this season for Manchaug Pond!

Sacred Sunday

0 degrees! and a few photos from the day of the storm

This morning the temperature is 0 degrees and below depending on which side of the house you are on! Here are a few photos sent and taken from our photographic blogger and Facebook friends around the lake during the recent storm. Thanks to our Manchaug Pond photographers.

Outside My Window at First Light

Good morning! Our blog has been quiet here on Manchaug Pond as the end of 2010 brought a flurry of work and issues to keep us busy.  But with this major storm outside my window, I thought it was high time we brought Manchaug Pond back to the airwaves – especially for our migrating population who spends the winter offshore and in far off towns and states across the USA! At first light, the wind is blowing around 30 mph with snow falling at a rate of 1-3″/hour and accumulating! 12 to 20″ is expected…. Further, the news is reporting 64,000 homes are without power but Manchaug Pond homes both in Douglas and Sutton are still a glow. As the day progresses, we’d love to hear from others around the lake and in the Manchaug Pond watershed.  Send us your photos either by email or on Facebook or give us a line for Twitter! manchaugpondsecretary@gmail.comWe’ll try to get them all on! It would also be great fun to hear from those off Manchaug Pond!  How’s the weather in sunny Florida, breezy California, or whereever you are wintering?
