Fall cooking translates to a lot of soup-making for me, so when Sloop called to go for an early dinner somewhere, I suggested Indicana. A cold November day seemed the perfect time for a menu change…

This was taken a week after I got Sweet Pea (a rescue). She‘d instigated a gardening crisis digging in the roses, and when caught in the act, feared she was #unloved. But instead she got a bath and a cuddle. Later I put up low fencing. She no longer digs. 🌹 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved #dogs

On the left, an #unloved pontoon boat my brother and I bought several years ago. We saw it on a tavern bulletin board, then drove dirt roads in North Idaho to find it. ‘Deliverance’ comes to mind. On the right, the boat has been refurbished. Story in the AltText
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved
A crummy old pontoon boat lists at an angle on a trailer. The guy selling this to us came out of his house carrying a shotgun and had large dogs that weren’t friendly. This vessel had been sitting outside, uncovered in the same spot for years. Mice had eaten the carpeting, the upholstery was mildewed, and everything was beat up and filthy. But the motor was in great shape. We had to haul this thing to the lake over miles of winding dirt roads, and almost lost it a few times on hairpin turns. The same pontoon boat after complete refurbishing. We went with a tropical theme, which was hilarious for a small, cold, PNW lake. New carpeting, bamboo siding, new upholstery, some grass roofing, and a ton of other improvements. We used this crazy thing for ‘appetizer and drinks’ cruises, on a small lake where we’d inherited a funky old resort. Since it was Loon Lake, we named her ‘Loon Tiki’. She even had a tiki god (found at a garage sale) on the bow.

While hiking down a hill yesterday, Sweet Pea and I heard a loud woodpecker that sounded close. It kind of scared her. We looked for the woodpecker and couldn’t find it. But I did see this Raven. The Raven was mimicking a woodpecker, and doing a fine job of it! #birds #photography #Nature

This place had been a particularly nasty dive bar, and #unloved for decades by the locals. But then an Afghan family bought the place and turned it into a fine little restaurant. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved #photography

‘The Hulk’
So this monstrosity came to Spokane from 500 of miles away. A hockey team competing against us in the playoffs brought this all the way to our arena, then parked it at the entrance.

Yup! Taking the regular night off from writing. All I've done cooking-wise is pickle some vegetables anyway. I'll take the opportunity to #post and pin my pay-what-you-want PDF #SurvivalKitchen that teached #FoodPrep and #FoodSafety for #HomeCooks You may find it helpful.
