Cauliflour

Cauliflour

Tim Hoyt cooks vegetables with a scant 2 tbls water, salt, garlic, olive oil, and a got skillet with tight fitting lid. When the water is gone, it's done. I think this is inspired by Dr. Weil. I blanched this chopped head of cauliflour first and added no water to the pan.

The ill fated Boise Tower project left a giant open pit of rebar and concrete. The blasting took place when my office was next door. The shell-shocked Californians knee jerked under their desks thinking there was an earthquake.

Josh

Josh

Middle America: Josh comes to Boise to check on the Red States every once in a while. He brings me much needed Blue State intelligence from the East. It's a big boost for my personal development. We were in a discussion group called Men Discussing Gender back in the day. It was an outlet to talk about our feminist "partners".

Sunny Cold

Sunny Cold

Steelhead were not biting again today. Freezing wind saddens me. The blue icy sky reminds me of skiing with Hokanson in Mass. Justin's pirate radio show is on tonight. I can'T tune in very well. He's playing waiting for my man right now. The mountain with snow in the background is where Jeff has an FCC license to repeat the Boise community radio signal. We will blanket suburbia with packets of rebellion.

Cronk Cronk cried the heron. When the sun gets low, it finally breaks through the perma-fog / cloud layer. A golden wedge of light washes across the foothills and buildings (CH2MHill on the left). It fades so quickly you run for shelter for fear of emerging vampires.

Fish n Game

Fish n Game

My father-in-law called me as he was leaving the gym and said he saw the Fish and Game truck releasing steelhead (huge trout that have been living in the ocean and have returned to spawn at the fish hatchery) by the Parkcenter bridge. I had not been fishing in weeks b/c I've been out of town, working, having visitors from out of town, sick, etc. I left work early and drove the half mile to the bridge. I couldn't believe there were 2 dozen guys wetting their lines. They must have been following the truck like I was planning to do. A kid told me that they were hitting left and right at first. Isn't that like shooting fish in a barrel?


The usual Idaho wide berth etiquette was not exhibited. This was urban fishing like on the jetty in Miami Beach. No one talking. A couple of idiots splashing around. Everything was so heavily casted over that I thought it was pointless to even try. If I did have any luck, it wouldn't be the same as regular fishing. The whole point is to play chess with nature. The lack of complexity with this scenario was masturbatory at best.
