The fires out in California have put a damper on my sister-in-law's hiking trip...

I'm shopping on Thursdays now...at least for the next few weeks or until I get a new job!
I'm not sure what Bitter melons are...they look like spiky cucumbers....

Looks like we are waiting for an engine...

 Dinner...

Steak, asparagus, salad, onions and the dried Shiitake mushrooms I soaked overnight.
