Misc photos from the weekend

On Saturday night, our friend Carl and his band played music at the Clearwater Lodge, in Delta Junction, so we thought we'd make a drive down to see them. It was a beautiful drive. We saw the sunset and lots of meese and bald eagles. The pub was right on the river.


Here is a photo I took just for ladies who have eaten at the Spice Islands Cafe in Mountain View. Yeah, we thought that women's bathroom was bizarre. The Clearwater evidently expects you to continue right on with your conversation with your friend while you pee. (The bathroom was too small to back up enough to fit it entirely within the frame, but you get the idea.)


And you can even keep up the conversation while you wash up. This is the opposite wall:


The next day was Chinese Easter Sunday. That's the day we cook up our half-priced ham, which we bought the day after Rest of the World Easter. My friend Ness makes these rice crispy bunnies.


She also made these caprese thingies. Then she cut crosses into them so she could honestly tell her grandmother that she did something Catholic-related for Easter the next time she talked to her. Linden was very, very impressed.


Here is the ham. I glazed it with Moose turds, wine, and brown sugar.


Here is Sam. She drooled. Not like a St. Bernard, but a lot.


Here is a spice cake I made as a vehicle for crowberry sauce. The crowberry sauce looked just like blueberry pie filling, except without the flavor.


Here is Linden cleaning her teef this morning:


And Autumn doing the same:

The bathroom thing is hilarious. I JUST heard someone at a party talking in horror about how the very first bathroom they used when they arrived in Alaska was in the Muffin Man in Anchorage and it has a similar set-up. I've never seen such a thing in person here, so it's really funny to hear about 2 different restrooms.
