While you were down in what I believe to be one of the most beautiful spots on earth, I was out in the hot, dry, dusty desert hoping to glimpse an otter or a beaver…. no luck but did find a mink. Now if I could only find some of that Krahnpixian powder, I’d be all set… Then again, I’m not sure even a ton of the stuff could match your success!

Yes those desert beavers can be hard to find!! Thanks for the compliment. You left me a little speechless and in need of my own krahnpixian powder.

I think some Krahnpixian powder could take my blog to the next level. Do you sell it online or in a store?

Lyle,, imagine my excitement when I first read your recipe. I entertained the notion that I might also be able to serve up such wonderful fare as I enjoy and love to share with others. Second reading gave me second thoughts. Like any great chef, your personal touches are, well, personal. I won’t be in a position to ‘fake it until I make it’! I began to see if I could gather up the ingredients and realized that some of them are pretty exclusive to you–my suppliers don’t carry a number of them, particularly krahnpixian powder. I thought you did a lovely job of sharing until I began to try to calibrate the measures and realized that my measuring devices don’t include a ‘dash’ nor did I figure out what constituted the ‘batter’. Not being a great chef nor even a moderate hack in the kitchen, what I don’t know makes all the difference. Thank goodness, I don’t have to serve up my inferior version, but can rely on the take-home order that comes delivered from time to time! Every time is a pleasure and my satisfaction is multiplied over when I am able to share with visitors! At that time, the cup of coffee still works (as per the recipe)! Perfecto, Chef Lyle!

Given my limited ability in the real cooking field, I’ve never been called a chef before so this is a special honour. Your response is a work of art all its own with creativity and charm. I especially liked the take home order metaphor. I am so pleased you enjoyed this post and your continual encouragement with my blogging means a lot to me.

And today in particular. Today is the day when I salute – myself!
Yeah, I know I shouldn’t 🙂 but today is the day when ‘SeeNorway’ passed a milestone: 5000 ‘full screen’ pictures from Norway and/or Norwegian nature published!

The recipe sure worked well here with your adorable subject–otterably adorable. I love the Big Sur and Monterey Bay area. There is so much to see and do there.

Otterably indeed! They charmed me as did the whole area. We stroked off a lot of things due to time constraints – I guess we’re saving them for next time.
