So freakin' close
Category: tourism

I got so freakin' close to sand run falls this time, prolly within 500 yards. I lost the trail at the very end and lost patience.

all-terrain poodle
Category: pets

Nisha is such a cool dog. She crossed this creek on a fallen log by herself (i slipped the first time across). I used the gaia map app and it worked well. I'll post the track next.

Squash party
Category: home

An array of squash dishes, including pumpkin ale.

Sounds yummy.

I have never had much success with spaghetti squash. I manage to make a hash of it every time and force-eat because I don't like throwing things away just because the cooking was a disaster. This approach can be rather scarring because it impresses on me just how terribly low my cooking can stoop to.

front to back:
zucchini-apple pie
butternut squash, apple-cranberry bake *
squash lasagna
southwestern style spaghetti squash *
drinks: an apple spice chardonnay and an organic pumpkin ale

two of the four were sweet. the bake could have been a side dish at thanksgiving dinner.

I've got the recipes! The spaghetti squash was really amazing.

I am beginning to appreciate squash as well... in soups and stews and such. But I see a lot of sweetmeats in the photo.

Mmmm, squash is one of my absolute favorite foods!
