Food photo; "sabih." From Yotam Otolenghi's "Jerusalem" cookbook, this was, get this, supposed to be over pita *and* with mango pickle. Pita went off, and I didn't get any mango pickle - but frankly I feel like just the salad and hard boiled egg *or* eggplant with zhoug stands on its own and tahini really doesn't add much, and even more would just be overkill.

#drawing today trying to figure out stuff. Heavily armored death knight attacks a fairly heavily armored ogre (know how hard it is to find armor in ogre sizes?).

Here’s a selfie (so eye contact), my glasses should give you an idea just how much spray the falls kick up!

On a whim I went to Snoqualmie Falls, which I’d heard about- but I was honestly in town to look at their railway museum! Two trails run down to the river from the big dramatic (crowded!) outlook, and one’s fairly tucked away so I walked down then up the “use this if you’re sure you’re in good health” warning trail. Down at the bottom, you really *could* take a kayak out!

This was such a cool photo of a train from the station I wanted to share it right away.

Here’s the wildlife refuge we tried - wound up being a short walk, but the area’s got these huge old oaks, which is an ecotype that’s just not around Seattle. Oak pics;

Okay my mood is now not just in the toilet but flushed and headed for a sewage processing plant in Renton so here are some trees and stuff from last weekend’s hike.

#drawing today, a couple of player characters with lycanthropy - a druid and a fighter (with severed vampire heads on their shield, if that helps decide whether you look or not).

Food photo; some of the finished chicken and (globe) artichokes

A rainbow, proof that the Aesir love us!

#drawing today, fighter and druid with animal companions, versus frost giant, listening to The Sword.

Food photo; made some eggplants with chermoula, added (coconut) yogurt and mint.

#drawing finished today were three fighters in different armor types. I worked on more drawings the last week, and maybe a few more will be tightened up to show off in a bit.

Here’s only some of what I received in today. (Photo of a giant volume of ship supplies includes boxes of chemical products I don’t receive in, doesn’t include earlier Amazon/USPS deliveries or any provisions.) So today’s being tougher than even previously anticipated.

Food photos;

spiced meat and (coconut) yogurt over pita, roasted peppers and onions.

Food photo. I tried making a beet-leek-walnut salad from the cookbook, using a couple of substitutions. So far it's pretty good!

Lastly, here’s a selfie, with eye contact.

Here’s more of the hike including a woodpecker!

It’s supposed to rain solidly for a bit so here’s some photos from the weekend. The parking lot by the Deception Pass Bridge is closed but the rest of the park has parking and there’s enough trail you could probably walk all the way through the park to the bridge at low tide.

Okay this isn't especially Halloweenish but I tried out one of the recipes from my new cookbook and it's pretty awesome. I feel like sundried tomatoes would work a little better than fresh but I like them more in general, and I think the smaller okras are WAY tastier. CW food photo.
