Catch-up

Leaving Seattle.  Obviously on vacation.....

Seems like I've had no time at all since we got home from Alaska...  We've had house guests twice and Dave has traveled a lot.  I've played big catch-up in the yard...and have a new herb garden in on the north side.  I've been busy with physical therapy (regaining some upper-body strength) and added hearing aids to my wardrobe. 

Summer in the hood is hot this year.  It's our second week of mostly 90's and I don't remember that ever.   I've spent a really lot of time watering... and watering.  Some pots have needed watering twice a day.  Who could have figured?

Meantime, I thought I'd use this blogpost for some pics so you can see what's been up around the 2-dog kitchen and other places:

Right:  My French class came to dinner...

I've been trying to get a good loaf of rye bread.  Still working on it.

Another try at a leftover fish salad.  This one was with cold grilled tuna and a mustard vinaigrette. Yum.

Here are a few from the trip:

With the fish at Pike Place Market in Seattle---Veggies, too.

Going to dinner...

Someone else was cookin'

Me and the glacier....

Fishing for crab...

And eating it.

Leftovers..

This spruce pic taken during a macro-photography class in the rain forest.

Edible spruce tips...

I ate some.  Guide said she makes sorbet from them.  Hmmm.

Taken during a photography class in a small boat on the ocean...   ah, whales.

We clean up well.

More later...  2-Dog Kitchen under signature....

Be patient; I've got some great summer recipes. 

Tonight I grilled some wahoo on lemon slices and topped it with homemade "pickles"...

Sing a new song,
