Baltimore, MD- Riptide by the Bay

-Riptide by the Bay: Friendly service, cozy sea faring atmosphere and some of the best crabs I have ever had! -
    Strolling along the Fells Point, MD waterfront I felt beckoned in as I noticed how content people were eating outside with their pooches and I was also in the mood for some Maryland crabs! My friend and I were curious to see what was going on down the side corridor of this cozy restaurant. So we went into explore the restaurant and the sea faring mural that was being completed on that day by the artist on the wall.

   Of the three basic seating options (indoors, outdoor cafe, or corridor outdoor) we were happy with sitting in the corridor, what can I say the mural just drew me in, made me feel like I was on holiday again in the Jimmy Buffet atmosphere of Key West!

   For a bubbly delight I started off with a delicious champagne cocktail called "Jacuzzi". We were even more impressed by tantalizing selection of bloody Marys ("Classic Mary", "Crabby Mary", "South of the Border Mary"). I wanted something to match the RBB old bay crabs (that I am now dreaming of while I write this post) so I chose the "Crabby Mary" as it was accented with had Old Bay and Pepper Vodka. I know you don't know me very well yet and this is one of my first restaurant posts (there are plenty more to come) but I always love to try new places and new things and I mean it when I say Riptide by the Bay serves the best crabs and Bloody Marys I have ever had! Scottie beam me back now!

   There are many other food (including Mexican) and drink selections that RBB has to offer. Please check out their menu: Click Here! I would also like to thank our super helpful waitress Crystal for her friendly service and their musician (his voice is amazing and his music selection is down right cool).

Signing off for now your BFF,

New Lives- BFFEarth's Featured book of the Month! Raise money for animals in need!

Featured Book of the Month! "New Lives" See details! - Stories of Rescued Dogs, Helping, Healing
and Giving Hope! by Joanne Wannan Forward by Dr. Marty Becker
.
During the month of April, a total of 30% of the profits from the sale of the book will be donated to animal rescues.

This book is a great gift - not only for you, but for all the animal lover on their list!

NEW LIVES: Stories of Rescued Dogs Helping, Healing and Giving Hope, a  book by Joanne Wannan, presents of stories of hope and inspiration - where the “underdog” really does triumph in the end!  The heroes in the book are an unlikely assortment of dogs who were rescued from shelters and the streets. They have gone on to love, serve, and in some cases save the lives of the compassionate individuals welcomed these abandoned canines into their hearts and lives.

     The book tells of the amazing ways these rescued dogs are working as animal therapists or as service dogs, and how lives - both human and canine - are forever changed.  One is Leo, a pit bull rescued from Michael Vick's dog fighting operation, who now visits patients in a chemotherapy ward, and acts as an ambassador for all dogs at a facility for juvenile delinquents.
Another is an abandoned canine who went on to become a service dog for a hearing impaired gentleman. Not only does Beans alert her owner to the doorbell and telephone - she actually saved his life by waking him up and alerting him to a fire!

 

      The foreword is written by Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on Good Morning America, and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul. Cover endorsements are from the ASPCA and the Humane Society. This book is a testament to the powerful bond between humans and dogs, and affirms the belief that it is never to late for miracles.

Welcome to EARTH DAY Love Boutique Fancy Fluf!

So let me just preclude the entries below with a quote I "unearthed" while on the
 journey of composing this article that really stuck with me:
"If people really understood the connection of environmental damage to their own lives, they
would be much more motivated to preserve and protect the environment."
--Dr. Eric Chivian, director of Harvard's Center for Health and the Global Environment,
in Veterinary World, Spring 1999.

A little piece of Earth in all of us: "May she sparkle and shine forever!" - -BFF- Earth Day Every Day-

A little piece of Earth in all of us: "May she sparkle and shine forever!" - -BFF- Earth Day Every Day-

   
     Wow, who is, what is planet Earth? On my quest to just "scrape" the surface I found it so hard
 to even know where to begin! Well first thing's first it is the planet that we all are a part of when
we came into this Earth. We may only know a small amount about the galaxy's around us let alone
 about Planet Earth. But one thing's for sure she helps sustain and embrace numerous cultures,
living creatures, plants, terrains, ecosystems and has such a vast history!

      It's hard to imagine being in a place with out her as her green sparkle encompasses every
aspect of our lives. Like I said I am not sure where to start or where exactly this will end but I am
 for certain inspired to Begin the journey of understanding how we can all make a difference! I truly believe this will be an amazing journey as she has infinitely so spectacular topics to bring into the
spotlight and discuss.

   I was not aware of Earth Day until at least a 1-2 decades ago! But when did it start? What are some of the buzz terms? Why should I care? 5 Earthly ideas! Join the forum make your Earthly voice or cause heard!

 But when did it start?: According to most sources: Earth Day was started in 1970 by a Senator from Wisconsin Gaylord Nelson as a result of a build up over 7 years of increased concern and awareness about mother Earth. In the USA it is celebrated on April 22nd. (1)

There's Only ONE Earth... It's In OUR Hands!

(Our BFF Earth line of products for human. kitty, big & lil' Pooch alike helps raise money and awareness of animals in need of a forever home!)

5 Earthly Buzz Terms: (Sustainable, Organic, Biodegradable, Recyclable, Reusable... oh my!)

5 Earthly Buzz Terms:
(Sustainable, Organic, Biodegradable, Recyclable, 
Reusable... oh my!)




1)   Sustainable:"of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged" (2)
2)   Organic: "of or relating to food stuff grown or raised without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides or hormones; "organic eggs"; "organic vegetables"; "organic chicken"" (3)

"Benefit of organic
Organic agriculture protects the health of people and the planet by reducing the overall exposure to
 toxic chemicals from synthetic pesticides that can end up in the ground, air, water and food supply,
and that are associated with health consequences, from asthma to cancer. Because organic
agriculture doesn't use toxic and persistent pesticides, choosing organic productsan easy way to
help protect yourself."
(4)
3)   Biodegradable/ Degradable:

"Biodegradableproducts break down through the action of a naturally occurring microorganism,
 such as bacteria, fungi etc. over a period of time.
Degradable plastics are oil based and break down through chemical reactions rather than the
activity of micro-organisms, so they can degrade in an anaerobic environment into water, CO2,
biomass and trace elements." (6)

4)   Recyclable: Recycle:" to pass again through a series of changes or treatments: as a:to
process (as liquid body waste, glass, or cans) in order to regain material for human use" (5)

5) Reusable:: capable of being used again or repeatedly (7) Quality items that are durable,
 washable and can be used over and over again may last longer and not have to be replaced as frequently. The longer time span it is reused the less likely it will end up in a landfill! Can the
packaging or container be reused or refilled?

Earth Day Every Day! BFF Earth! Boutique Fancy Fluff !

Why should I care?:
Earth Day Every Day!
1) Symbiosis: "a cooperative relationship (as between two persons or groups)"
(8) Ex: Planet Earth and those that live here.
2) Don't become the next planet Krypton to self destruct !
3) You live here and so does everyone else you know and care about !
4) She is spectacular when you travel or you buy a cool new products it is
made in the Planet of Earth !
5) All the ideas and fun that you have had here has been here on planet Earth !

5 Earthly Ideas/Tips:

5 Earthly Ideas/Tips:

1)   Plastic bags and Shopping Bags: Many supermarkets and also stores such as Ikea offer
an area to recycle plastic shopping bags.

2)   Batteries: Ikea also offers bins where you can recycle batteries.

3) Biodegradable/ Degradable: Use Biodegradable or degradable products! Biodegradable
products break down through the action of a naturally occurring microorganism, such as bacteria,
fungi etc. over a period of time. Degradable plastics are oil based and break down
through chemical reactions rather than the activity of micro-organisms, so they can degrade
in an anaerobic environment into water, CO2, biomass and trace elements. (6)

3)   Try Organic and sustainable! It just tastes, feels and is better for you and your buddies on
Mother Earth!

5) Recycle/ Reuse: Recycling can help cut down on depleting resources and contributing to
landfills. I can also be helpful to swap useful items or give away items in such a manner that
 others can re-use them instead of just throwing them in the trash which may end up in a landfill.

Who would have thought that in cockles of the subconscious mind that symbolism of a charm reminiscent of this one exchanged between my best friend and I would come to mean so much. It was the booming ‘80’s full of glitz and excess!

   We were just kids then we had no idea what the world around us was about and were just starting to explore the vast subject matters held like treasures boxes just waiting to be revealed. We were the new comers and the next generation. Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” was our new anthem. Among other things we had a taste of Tab Cola, Rubix’s Cube, Atari and we were still playing records. So much can happen in 30 years! Each day each of us make another decision, are bombarded with information and swirl in thoughts, ideas and dreams.

One might think that eventually each new jewel of information, memory, experience, lessons like that once highly polished new charm might over the plethora years fade, tarnish, go out of style and be forgotten only to be hidden away in your life’s own miniature treasure box.

Then one day your doing the most mundane of things like brushing your teeth over the bathroom sink and suddenly the subconscious acts as a catalyst to uncovering the treasure box who’s gems some how you thought you had forgotten about. Each gem of different sentimental value ready to shimmer again. As you and they reflect there is suddenly a new hue and dimension that makes you become conscious of their coalescence into newer richer collective value.

On one such unexpected days the butter fly effect swiftly started its course as I became enamored with a long forgotten heart shaped childhood memory and fond happy memories! It made me realize how many treasures each of us have gathered on our journeys through life that we can share with friends and others and how many more beautiful treasures there are to uncover on Earth. Thus this site is about “Living Earth to the fullest” and sharing, life, happiness, laughter (sometimes the tears) and the glitter with all your BFFs, whether it be your family, friends or your pets.

Thus on this blog you will experience the gamut from cool animal pics, funny animal videos, Veterinary tips to food picks, beer, wine, travel chronicles, creative writing and much, much more! Not mention tips on style, recipes and favorite picks from Philadelphia to the Ends of Earth! BFF Earth! May she and all that live on her green planet sparkle and shine and "Live Earth to the Fullest!"-TM
