For #Stunday, to help celebrate International Women's Day, my wife let me make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies! Helen Fredell from Saint Paul, Minnesota is crediting for creating this recipe back in the 1950's.
I usually blanch or sauté the kale before I add it to the skillet.
One of my favorites dishes is kale and sweet potato hash, made with fresh kale from the greenhouse and purple sweet potatoes from last year. The sweet potatoes have a dry flesh that gets sweet when roasted in the cast iron skillet. I add the chopped kale at the end. #FoodOnFriday #kale #gardensky
From our trip last fall, Owl's Head Lighthouse on the coast of Maine.

It's a lovely ride!
Yes, suet balls this time but usually suet cakes.
For #StunDay, a Pileated Woodpecker is always a stunning sight to see! The two cardinals help to show how big it is. #CanonPhotography #woodpecker #nature
A fave movie with our kitty too!
Sweet!
Ally says who needs a bed when a box is handy! A day late for #Caturday
Impressive stash!
The skies were blue with lovely clouds when we visited Maui last month. Here's a shot of me at a scenic lookout, captured by my wife.

While on Maui recently, we had dinner one night of roasted eggplant, okra, baby bananas and pineapple along with macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi. Everything was local including the fish. We love eating local food whenever and wherever we go! For #FoodOnFriday #Maui
I can almost smell the garlic from here!
This was perfect for a sold and snowy day!
Bluebird at the feeder for #BlueSkyMonday. A little fuzzy because I'm zoomed in and looking through a window.

For #Caturday, Ally looks tired after all that ironing!
Here's my dad, Johnny Hames, in 1943 flanked by my grandma and grandpa Hames. He served in the Army in WWII.
Thanks to all our veterans for your service! #VeteransDay

My latest Substack piece, which has left me quite hungry after writing it: davehames.substack.com/p/recipes-sh...
For #FoodOnFriday, our persimmon tree is loaded this year, and I used some to make a batch of persimmon cookies last week. They are soft and moist, and the consistency is really a cross between a cookie and cake.

For #Caturday, my cat EW, circa 1999. My neighbor Lisa took him in as a stray and named him Edgar Winter. When I asked her why the name she said "because he has long white hair and is kinda freaky looking". Her cat Josie didn't like him, so he wound up with me. He was a sweetie, and the name stuck.
