That Sashukan looks so yummy! Be sure to go back to Carkeek later in September and early October. This is one of the creeks that salmon return to in the fall! If Rowland likes fish, keep your eyes on him because other animals will drag the carcasses onto the banks. And just in case you don’t know yet, raw salmon skin is not good for doggies.

I love your newsletter mix of nature and food and art - all up my alley! That dish looks incredible and harissa is so tasty.

Hooray for Carkeek Park! We're coming up on salmon return season, when there are scientists posted along Piper Creek to answer questions and point out tired fishes to passerby.

If you get a chance/like greenery, green shakshuka is also very tasty.

Or there's eggs in purgatory, which is the Italian version, in an arrabiata-like sauce.

Weirdly I haven't been reading any books--the heat sapped my ability to concentrate. But now that the weather has turned, I'm finally going to get to John Hodgman's Vacationland.

Nice to see you’re out and enjoying some nice new nature close by. That chickpea salad looks good, are they olives in there?
