Recent visit to WA
I was traveling recently to the Pacific Northwest, and took a handful of photographs in and around an area I was visiting.
Here they are:

A Family Photo
As I continue to sift through the remnants of my past, I occasionally find a gem amongst the detritus. Here’s an example:

Mary’s Corn Pudding
This recipe is the BOMB! It is 1) Super Easy, 2) Pretty much FOOLPROOF, 3) Delicious, and 4) Always a Smash Hit.
The hardest part is grating the cheese.
A friend spent days preparing a perfect “Martha Stuart” thanksgiving feast, with fresh and handmade EVERYTHING. I brought the Corn Pudding, and that’s the only thing people talked about. (I felt terrible, btw.)
Also, this recipe begs to be doubled, tripled, quadrupled, etc. In fact, I buy one of the cheap LARGE rectangular foil roasting pans and make enough to fill it. (that’s 8 times this version, I think)
So, without further ado:
1 can creamed corn
1 cup corn muffin mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
½ lb chedder cheese
2 sm cans chopped green chilis
grease pan
cook 40-50 min

My Sister Kelly Hardgrave
My father remarried shortly after I graduated from High School and, before long, he and his new wife, Mary, and her two children, Kelly and Tom, were off to Washington State. My plans to move in with some friends fell through and, with no place to live, I decided to join them in the Great White North. The year I spent there was one of the best, most challenging, and certainly the most transformative of my life. What made it really great was being an older brother (for once) to two great kids.
I was quite the shutter bug, and I was always with my trusty Pentax K-1000. Here are a few images of Kelly from that time:
When Kelly graduated from College the parents had a shin-dig at the house. I believe this was from that time. She and I were abandoned by our respective parents, and this was going to end up on a milk carton or something:
