Eagles’ Family Life
On our walk, across the river from our home, an eagle perched on a branch while its mate kept the eggs warm.
Evidence It’s Almost Summer
Almost summer: bacon sausages, focaccia, and cabbage (cooling off) on the Weber for the first time this year.
Metal Credit Card
Tin snips became a financial instrument for destroying metal credit cards.
Taro
Spotted taro in an Asian market, but I’ll not be adding it to my repertoire. Traditionally, it’s boiled then mashed to form poi, a purple, viscous liquid. I’ve tried poi a couple times in Hawaii, and found it bland with the texture of wallpaper paste.
Thirteen-Foot Rooster
On my walk, a thirteen-foot rooster competed with an oversized spoon and cherry.
Former Instant Coffee Factory
On a Minneapolis North Loop walk, gave this apartment/retail building a second look. Recently learned 100 years ago this was an instant coffee factory that was claimed to be the largest in the world.
Cut and Cover
Cycled rail trails. At one point a trench was being cut to house a tunnel for the Green Line LRT extension. Once the trench is covered, this area will revert to parkland and trails.
Fresh Veggies
Much chopping ensued.
Bacon Sausages
Cycled right up to the counter of Sunshine Harvest Farm at the local farmers market to pick up a guilty pleasure: bacon sausages.
