Butter and Flour
Began stocking up on ingredients for Thanksgiving, starting with the important stuff: flour and butter for pie crusts.
Snowy Jog
Snow fell while we jogged.
State Fair in the Rain
Wandered around the State Fair in the rain.
Minnehaha Falls (Summer)
Stopped at Minnehaha Falls, took an obligatory photo.
Road-Building Season
It was raining, so I drove to an appointment. With all the road and bridge construction, my drive became a board game.
Fine Seasonal Lunch
This plus crusty bread made a fine seasonal lunch. Minnesota strawberries are at their best right now: they’re small and flavorful. I’m convinced a strawberry is allocated a fixed amount of flavor, whether it’s big or small.
Cycling Beside Ice
A cool breeze blew off Bde Maka Ska, creating a significant temperature drop as we cycled by. Today is the latest I have seen ice on this lake.
The Language of Springtime
Wild spring onions, nettles, fiddlehead ferns, morels, spruce tips, ramps, the language of springtime. Tonight I’ll make morel risotto.
Red Popping on Snowy Day
Reds popped as I walked on the latest installment of fresh snow.
