I noticed that the clay bowls were readily available on our last trip but didn't really want to carry a fragile, heavy bowl back to Alaska. I'm sure I can find something local that'll work. <br /><br />Have you found many places that have that dish on the menu in Denver?RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-51425254406326585512013-08-20T08:44:06.889-08:002013-08-20T08:44:06.889-08:00The dish is used to talk to polar orbiting satelli...The dish is used to talk to polar orbiting satellites. Since we are far north, they can be seen for several passes due to their paths converging near the poles. More efficient for data collection using downlink facilities closer to the poles.<br /><br />The alien seeking dishes are much larger and are generally arrays of dishes networked together.<br /><br />I don't know what the stats are as far as precipitation. The one that they seem to talk about is the record number of hot days.

But you can tell that our autumn is starting. Lots of great produce at the local farmers market. <br /><br />The crusty rice is one, to me, is one of the tastiest parts of the dish.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-14839664035967607502013-08-20T08:33:37.146-08:002013-08-20T08:33:37.146-08:00Dry conditions, eh?

Other trees don't even have a hint of brown or yellow on them.<br /><br />Bibimbap is a Korean dish made with regular rice topped with pickled vegetables and regular veggies, some kind of meat and a fried egg. You then put on some chili sauce and mix it all up in the sizzling hot bowl to partly cook the veggies. A very nice crust develops on some of the rice that has been in contact with the bowl before and after stirring. I don't know what the temperature of the bowl is but it's pretty hot.<br /><br />So this is different than the sushi bowls.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-47559201828144619102013-08-20T08:28:21.300-08:002013-08-20T08:28:21.300-08:00It's a wonderful combination popular in other ...It's a wonderful combination popular in other parts of the country.

Not a healthy or happy plant at this time. Good and frequent waterings would help. Where are your horticulture students!<br /><br />I just saw Morimoto on PBS making "sushi bowls" in CA. Very impressive. Your clay bowl looks good.
