I took this photo of a hibernating bat at Longhorn Caverns State Park. I am not sure if it is a brown bat or a pipestrelle bat.

Summer
Longer days, short nights.
Picnics, beach, swimming, and sun.
Relax and unwind.

Waves
Passing the sandbar
Rapidly rushing to shore
They come crashing down

Indian Sampler Plate

Tonight for dinner I have an Indian Sampler plate.
Indian food is so fragrant, spicy, rich, flavorful, and euphoric!
Starting from top left going in a clockwise motion, there is Mutter Paneer which is peas in a gravy of mild spices with Indian Cheese, Baigan Bharta which is smoked and mashed eggplant with onions, garlic, and spices, Palak Paneer which is spinach and Indian cheese, Kadhi Pakoda which is gram flour dumplings cooked Punjabi style in yogurt and Indian spices, Dal Makhani which is black lentils and kidney beans cooked in a buttery gravy of tomatoes, onions, ginger, and garlic, Mutter Methi Malai which is fenugreek and sweet peas cooked in a cashew sauce with mild Indian spices, Basmanti Rice, and Masala Naan bread.
If you have never eaten Indian food you are denying yourself a life’s pleasure.

State parks are the best value and some of the most beautiful places a person can visit. Here is another favorite of mine. This park is named Inks Lake State Park in Burnet, Texas. You can read about it here. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/inks-lake
It has some great animal viewing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, tubing, photography opportunities, or whatever your mind can imagine.
Here are a few photos I took inside the park. I hope they inspire you to visit.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my work.

Teriyaki Beef Short Ribs, Japanese Eggplant with Mixed Vegetables and Garlic, and Rice
Posted: May 25, 2013 in FoodTags: Beef, Digital photography, eggplant, Garlic, Photography, Recipes, Rice, Short ribs, teriyaki
This dish is influenced by both Japanese and Korean cuisine. It consists of teriyaki beef short ribs, japanese eggplant with mixed vegetables and garlic, and rice topped with a little bit of Sriracha hot sauce. I don’t have a recipe because I make most of my dishes up in my head. After you cook so long, you get to where you know how to balance the seasoning and mix things up.
