A rustic apricot tart, lazy to make but delicious. I bought them at the Lone Pine Fruit Stand and Coffee Shop. It's a nice spot to stop along the Columbia River (actually Lake Entiat.)
According to Wiki, there are 14 major dams on the Columbia, many built to generate hydroelectric power. The wide reservoirs stretch for miles along the highway, filling the canyons of what was once the original river bed.
You need a good imagination to visualize the old natural river. It's one of my favorite parts of the drive. The dramatic scale of the geology tends to put trivial human problems in perspective.
I also bought another bag of Walla Walla onions which we cooked down into more sweet onion goo. Between the apricots and onions the house smelled pretty good yesterday.
It is grey and chilly in Seattle this morning and we won't even hit 70 degrees. If only these marine clouds would bring along some rain. We've gone more than 30 days now without a drop and the yard is the color of straw.
