It is just after 10:00 p.m. Friday evening…VERY late for me, but these last several weeks my internal time clock has gone awry and I’ve been working until 8 or 9, to bed late but still up at 5:30 a.m. I’m thinking there will be a day of reckoning at some point…<\/p>\n

But, this morning, it was wonderfully cool and it was Friday and I haven’t cooked much since last weekend…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Summer has chased away the little bit of sweet tooth I’ve had and savory is the ticket. A few English muffins, corn tortillas: half made into chips….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

…and half for cheese and onion enchiladas with red chile gravy.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

7:45 – cleanup is done for the muffins, tortillas, chile gravy and enchiladas and next on the list: a fresh batch of ginger syrup. My current mix of ginger, sugar, molasses, cinnamon stick and cloves chased away the smell of onions and oil, filling the cool house with the refreshing spice fragrance.<\/p>\n

Bear and I had both our early perimeter patrol and a pre-work exercise walk, Bob was settled on the front porch and I was showered and at my desk by 9:00.<\/p>\n

A good 3\/4 of my work day was done by mid-afternoon so Bear and I took off for an afternoon walk and errand run in the Somers vicinity.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Flathead Valley from an overlook just south of Somers, MT on a beautiful Summer afternoon…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And a cold glass of homemade ginger soda with lime to mark the end of a perfect Friday.<\/p>\n

Good night and a Happy Weekend to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
