Recipes She Never Made and some that were always a favorite

My latest Substack piece, which has left me quite hungry after writing it: davehames.substack.com/p/recipes-sh...

For #FoodOnFriday, our persimmon tree is loaded this year, and I used some to make a batch of persimmon cookies last week. They are soft and moist, and the consistency is really a cross between a cookie and cake.

For #Caturday, my cat EW, circa 1999. My neighbor Lisa took him in as a stray and named him Edgar Winter. When I asked her why the name she said "because he has long white hair and is kinda freaky looking". Her cat Josie didn't like him, so he wound up with me. He was a sweetie, and the name stuck.

For #BlueSkyMonday, the sky was surely lovely when we visited Cadillac Mountain in Acadia N.P. last month. From the top you could see many of the smaller surrounding islands.

Not Dead Yet but slowing down for sure

My latest Substack piece:

In Sedona, AZ there are stunning views everywhere you look! And sometimes a double rainbow too.

Hegseth says Wounded Knee soldiers will keep their Medals of Honor Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 20 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards.

I urge everyone to read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. The soldiers there were more like war criminals, not heroes!

I agree - those were some great images!

For #FoodOnFriday - with tomatoes, peppers and eggplant from our garden and onion and zucchini from the farmer's market, you have the ingredients for sheet pan ratatouille. I add some fresh basil at the end to perk up the flavor, and use liberal amounts of a good olive oil.

For #FoodOnFriday, nothing says summer like a BLT with homegrown tomatoes fresh from the vine, and corn from the farmer's market - on toasted homemade bread.

Ally has beds her mama bought for her, and cubes galore. So where does she hang out these days? A Chewy box!

It's tomato time in our garden. Nothing says summer to me like a BLT made with homegrown tomatoes, plus corn from the local farmer's market.

Evansville City Councilor Mary Allen launches bid for seat in Congress: 'Why not me?' Democrat Mary Allen rejects the notion that by running for Republican Mark Messmer's seat she is asking voters to fire him and hire her instead.

I am almost giddy with excitement with our friend Mary Allen running for Congress!

For #BlueSkyMonday, a swallowtail butterfly on Joe Pye Weed

For #stunday, I made this little table for my office from Hawaiian monkeypod wood. I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

One of these things does not belong on the bookshelf!

It's tomato time in our garden. Call me clairvoyant - I can see a BLT in my future!

It is around here for sure!

One of our hardy hibiscus is reaching for the blue sky!
