As a sky watcher, for birds, stars, meteor showers, the aurora borealis, and yes, sometimes UFOs, it’s always exciting to see cloud formations that look like they could be “other worldly.” While recently visiting Lake Chelan, I was graced with the presence of UFO-looking clouds off in the distance. This got me curious about how […]

Our family loves to order papaya salad when we go out for Thai food. I’ve wanted to try this recipe at home, but I never seem to think of grabbing a green papaya while I’m still at the grocery store because they are usually ripe!

You can really kick out the jams while working the mortar and pestle since there is a lot of pounding! Enjoy!
