A tasty mess

I haven't made one of these in a while - like years.  But evidently it's made an impression because when Mark had a pot-luck to attend, this is what he asked me to make.  I couldn't find my original recipe, so I did a search and this one sounds like 95% of the one I had previously. The only change I made was to swap the graham cracker crust for one made of Oreo Cookie crumbs.  Skip the sugar, and it is good to go.  Made for a decent breakfast this morning with a cup of joe. 

A walk in Santa Cruz....

 I went for a walk today during the break in the rain.  I had headed down to Santa Cruz for the last minute grocery shopping, and decided to drag my camera along with me.  The light on this solstice day was decidedly odd....  almost metallic on the water.  The moody clouds gave me quite a stir.  I walked from the most southern lot to the Surfing Museum.  On the way north, my focus was towards the water.

On the way back to the car, I was more interested in the homes and gardens along the water.



I love the tromp lei(?) columns on the balcony of this home.



And this wondrous garden not only had a pond and a bridge, but a Mexican pottery gecko hiding in the water....

Mirror Twin Homes...  They were repaving the shared driveway with wonderful bricks.

Whales make me happy
