No sheep today. Just the usual carp, bass, ducks, seagulls, and tourists. We should be in peak desert flower season now but there are hardly any. 11 months of the year all the plants and bushes look dead but they come to life in the spring to flower. I think the dryness last year got to them all. Even the prickly pear cactus are shriveled up. Last year at this time we had pictures of the entire desert covered with white, yellow, lavender, red, and purple. Maybe next year.
Bibim Kitchen
I am a big fan of bibimbap ever since i tried it in San Francisco at Surisan (along with their Millionaire’s bacon but that is another story). There are a number of quick serve ‘build your own’ bibimbap places around the country now. What caught my eye here is they have the option of putting it in a stone bowl. They heat the bowl up to the temperature of magma and all your items caramelize in the bowl. Never saw rice cake carbonara on a menu before and I would definitely get it again.
