Bhut jolokia pepper. #2. Still waiting for first pepper to turn red!
My plants are in flower, been hand pollinating like crazy.
Hope I’m doing it right!

Oooh love it. Sandwich without the sand. I grabbed a bite last night that was sooo good! Tender brined bird.
24 hour stock that was started right after dinner. So much stock! 3 different concentrations.

Dawn, and it snowed while I slept, happy and content after a lovely evening of good food and company, turkey carcass simmering all night, everything cleaned.

A perfectly brined and cooked bird, sides, my offspring, an “orphan” friend, enjoyed an evening of food, talk, music.
All’s cleaned up, carcass simmering overnight for turkey broth.
A very good thanksgiving, and I’m grateful.

First real snow of the season! Gorgeous but dangerous. People are just on getting their “snow driving” together.

The beginning of the end.
The leaves are coming down and with the rain and wind, it will be done.

Soft secession. States taking charge of duties federal government has abdicated and/ or corrupted.
Red states have done it for years.

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.”

Saw my first blue jay ever, at my feeder this morning. Saw another bird with red-orange on its head and tail and a fuzzy ruff around neck but it flew away before I got a good look. I’m so excited to watch birds!

A fat squirrel in my bird feeder on second floor of building. He came from the roof!

Served with thin sliced ribeye, rice noodles, bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime juice, sriracha, hoisin, chili oil crunch.
Unbelievable umami and so savory!

I had paw paws from the farmers market last summer, kept seeds in sand in fridge. I potted three seeds in a pot this summer, forgot about them, sowing wildflower seeds on top when nothing came up. I looked up what the larger plants were that sprouted, and lo and behold, they are paw paws!
Wow!
