A long weekend in Walla Walla, where the Nene and Steven hosted me at as many local eateries as time and stomach capacity would allow. (And kept me entertained with adorable, addicting, surprisingly difficult Ori and the Blind Forest.) It was a good vacation!
Flying over Antelope Island in Salt Lake City. Several people have asked how to drive to Antelope Island–the thread of land in the upper half of the photo is the causeway from the mainland (at the right) to the island (at the left).
Weinhard Cafe and Bakery in Dayton. This is their Signature French Toast: orange cardamom challah dipped in a cinnamon vanilla custard with a house-made butterscotch drizzle, fresh fruit, and toasted hazelnuts.
A post-breakfast digestion walk on Dayton’s riverside trail.

Walking around Bennington Lake.
On the drive to Bennington Lake we followed what looked like an empty horse trailer. It turned out to be an excursion for a couple of goats.
My vegetarian burger with backyard BBQ sauce at Wingman.
Nene made delicious, practically vegan benedict with avocado, spinach, and cashew-based hollandaise.
We had perfect timing at Roger’s Bakery, arriving for still-warm maple bars.
My first visit to the Worm Ranch! We each got vegetarian soft tacos.
