Every February the Juneau (Alaska) Arts and Humanities Council holds a <a href="http://jahc.org/concerts-and-events/wearable-art/" target="_blank">Wearable Art Extravaganza</a>. I took the pictures below at the 2010 event, when I was working in Juneau. I was pretty floored that such a fashionable event was taking place in Alaska. But really, I should not have been surprised. Alaskans are inventive and love re-using materials. The lady with the blue hair has a dress made out of milk cartons. </div>

In the spirit of our upcoming move to the pacific northwest, I've been thinking about growing mushrooms. at home. on a log. on some wood chips. Whatever might work. I hear the conditions are good for this type of project.

I've since pumped it up with dark leafy green veggies and this definitely warrants an update. My mom still makes her original recipe and sometimes I can get away with making this souped-up version.<br />
<br />
Baked Salmon Loaf<br />
Adapted by Cayenne from The Greater Yukon Cookbook, Galena, Alaska<br />
<br />
2 cups cooked salmon (either leftovers or jarred salmon)<br />
2 eggs, lightly beaten<br />
1/4 cup butter<br />
<br />
Use butter to grease loaf pan and to saute whatever veggies you can find. At a minimum onion, celery and garlic work just fine. I am a huge fan of kale or swiss chard in this recipe. Just chop a cup or so, saute it briefly and mix with the rest of the veggies. You can also add some spicy peppers, like New Mexico green chilis. Or just throw in some hot sauce. I've also found feta to be a nice addition but you don't need too much 1/3 of a cup or less.<br />
<br />
Mix your assortment of veggies with the egg and salmon flakes. Turn out into the loaf pan and press down so the top is flat. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
The loaf shrinks up considerably and will feed 2-3 as a single main course or 4 if you add a big salad.<br />

Blueberry, nectarine, and merlot sorbet</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (reserve 1 cup for last 2 minutes)</div>
<div>
1 cup sugar (white or light brown will work too)</div>
<div>
2 cups H2O</div>
<div>
Zest and juice of 1 lemon</div>
<div>
1 nectarine chopped</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bring all ingredients to a boil and simmer 10 minutes. When you have 2 minutes left put in reserved 1 cup of blueberries for added texture. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cool mixture completely. Test sugar content by floating a raw egg in cool mixture. Only about a nickel's worth of egg should be showing. Add as much sugar syrup as needed for this balance. At this point you could freeze this base and thaw it later when you are ready to make a batch of sorbet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Add 2 cups blueberry/nectarine mix to your ice cream maker plus your choice of 1/2 cup red wine - merlot or cabernet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Follow your ice cream maker's instructions. Mine only took 30-40 minutes. </div>

So long, in fact, that I was surprised to find 16 draft posts just waiting patiently in line. I was not intending to post here anymore, but these drafts are too tempting. We'll see how long it takes for me to get them out, hopefully not another 2 years :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Blogging has always been something that I enjoyed to do in my free time. When I moved to Washington, DC, in the fall of 2010, my free time quickly became non-existent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since 2010 several new social media services really enabled me to connect with family and friends, and keep track of the design trends that I loved to share here on the blog. Cayenne & Carob elsewhere on the web:</span><br />
