Black M
You may have noticed that the big white M on Mount Sentinel was the big black M on Saturday. My daughter noticed it first, and as the Griz game was on the radio we listened closely, thinking that surely the Griz game announcers would mention it, but no.
We speculated that it may have been friendly prank vandalism by the visiting team, or maybe the Ladies in Black making a statement for peace. Of course, there is always the possibility that the incoming students don’t have enough studying to do and need to make their mark on their new town…the L has been the subject of some very creative alterations in the past!
I even wondered if it wasn’t an art student doing a Cristo-like installation; you could see it was covered in some dark, shiny material as it blew in the breeze. After the game, we saw people up there removing the covering and there was our big white M once again.
It was the work of the Montana Meth Project, to focus attention on their preventive efforts across the state. Folks were also encouraged to wear black to the Griz game, I understand.
Fabulous peaches at Orange Street Food Farm! I used four to make a pie, but I really could have used six, so we have a peach/strawberry pie. Peel & slice your peaches (and strawberries, if that’s how you roll) and toss them with 3/4 of a cup of honey and 1t grated fresh ginger. Whisk 2 T flour, 1 t cinnamon, 1 t allspice, and 1/2 t nutmeg and toss the peaches with the dry mixture. I use premade crust, so you’re on your own there. Add the peach filling to the bottom crust, cover with a top crust and slit the top in any decorative fashion you wish. Bake in a hot oven (400). When the crust starts to brown on the edges, brush the top with a whisked egg white and sprinkle with raw sugar. Finish baking till golden brown. (Should take 45 minutes to an hour). Serve with Big Dipper cardamom ice cream.
The M looked very strange on Saturday
