Food Stamp Challenge!!!

Food Stamp Challenge!!!
Originally uploaded by ancho and lefty.

At work this week (In Brevard) I was asked to work with a group of co-workers to prepare a healthy, all locally-grown/produced lunch for five people with $12.00. We made squash and potato soup with chard, onions, okra, and garlic. We supplemented it with local bread that we rubbed with garlic and toasted with a local cheese and tomatoes. As you can see, we were fairly happy with the results. We were lucky to have a small Asheville Farmer's Mkt. to buy from.

If you don't remember what it looks like when charisma and the presidency intermingle, you can go here to do so.

On our last honeymoon hike we shot the moon and did twenty miles in a day. They led us through Cascade Canyon with its beautiful waterfalls, flowers, and bears, then up to a beautiful pass (shown here), and then onto through Paintrbush Canyon. We saw several bears, marmots, and human wildlife as well.

Transitions anyone?

Long time no talk.

Ancho and I are in transition mode- getting married, ripping of the roof, embracing new employment, etc.

Fortunately, other entities transition too. Our phone company changed its name and its attitude and decided it would do the grunt work to be able to offer us broadband internet access, so now we can post photos and what not to the Owingsville Outlook and it will not take a painful amount of time.

So, let's roll some photos.
