In the fall, I like to decorate with the traditional red, orange, yellow and brown colors to match the colors taken by some of the foliage at this time of the year. I got some yellow and orange daisies at the flower shop this week and they are in a vase on the sofa table. Click on the image to enlarge.
We’re breaking in the new electric smoker this afternoon. Getting it seasoned with mesquite chips/smoke. We have yet to smoke our first entree on this one. Our old charcoal-powered smoker did pretty good, so this one could do as well plus being easier to use and clean. I have some pork and fish in the freezer that will be the first experiments.
I mentioned a Hawaiian favorite soup to Verna a while back and she made this delicious SAIMIN soup treat for dinner today. This version had chunks of beef, white mushrooms, carrots, red bell peppers, bok choi and Asian noodles. Very tasty! Click on the image to enlarge.
Bob was rummaging through the old photos archive and showed me this picture I took of Bear in 2009. She was always a very good family dog and we miss her. She has been gone since April of last year. Click on the image to enlarge.
I bought a potted seasonal cactus at the supermarket yesterday. The flowers have already started to open on it today. Click on the image to enlarge.
Cabela and Bob meet and greet “Mattie,” a new friend at the dog park today. We had been overdue to take the dogs to one of their favorite places, but now that the weather is quite a bit cooler and our schedule of activities and other business has subsided, we can take them more frequently.
I took this photo of Bob and Cabela getting to know “Mattie,” a little fuzzy dog belonging to another couple visiting the park. Everybody played nice and we enjoyed our dog park visit. Click on the image to enlarge.
