Random Friday...


End of the week, lets wrap this puppy up...
Fish Moilly
Mondays dinner made by talented son. A Fish Stew from the Kerala region of India.
Very simple and super easy dish. Made with firm white fish, red onion (he used shallots) finely sliced fresh green chillies, ginger root, coconut milk and lime juice.
So easy, so simple and so good.

Halloween scary...
View from my kitchen window looking North towards the Catalina mountains
Beautiful summer green grass was cut and thatched, winter grass seed spread with a covering of mulch.
The Square Ones were perplexed.

Your weekend moment of Cloud Zen from Wednesday the 26.
Looking North-East from my studio window.

I just learned today an outstanding weather fact....
You can tell the temperature outside by listening to a Cricket !
Count the number of times a Cricket chirps in 15 seconds. Then add 37
How fabulous cool is this !

  2. The Desert Rocks...
    I find so many people don't like coconut and don't use it because it is sweet ? but in Asian cooking it is not always sweet.
    The coconut add some body to the extremely light sauce and mellows out the chilies so it comes out really nice.

    I bought this home for the view ! lurve it.

    Nope.... the cricket story is right, if you want to believe the weatherman. So I guess it will depend on what you think of any weather reporter.
    The local early news weatherman has an " ask a question" and today a little girl asked this one.
    Where I live we have crickets and lots of warm weather... but where you live when the cricket dies does that mean it is freezing ?

    I love the view, that is why I bought this house.

    I rather like all the big sky.... lots of space, I can breathe.
