It's funny, Al, I was actually thinking of that trip the other day and as a result, am making Detroit style pizza today. Before reading your post, and while making the pizza, I was also pondering memories and how there are some that I'm unlikely to forget despite the passage of time. Driving up and back to SF from Monterey is one of them, the overnight with you and Steve, and the walk in the woods, being something that I think I'll always look back upon fondly.

Not only would I be happy to devour those, I'd be just as happy to mount them on my wall as art pieces. Is the small one, middle left, for Chloe the non-british cat?

^ Oh look, baby Redwoods. 😋 My trip to MOA 2 enamored me to Fairfax. I thought of it as an enchanted forrest village. Now that feeling is multiplied here in Nicasio. I halfway expect to see and hear the Seven Dwarves at any moment.

I have been playing at a chamber music camp this week. I am not sure how I will make it two more days - as easily the youngest person here I am not sure where they get the stamina

Ina Garten's Chicken Chilli 🐔🌶️

I had a lot of veggies hangin' round, so I bought some chicken thighs. Browned the thighs in olive oil, set them aside to cool for shredding, added butter to the oil and fond, then plopped in my diced onion and carrots. Sweated those, added chicken stock, red bell pepper, green beans, zucchini, cauliflower and little red potatoes. Let those simmer for a bit, then added a pound of little pasta shells. Cooked for 10 minutes. Now I'll portion and freeze much of it for lunches.
